Daily Tidepooling with an Amnesiac Princess

Song Haitang is notorious far and wide as a destitute pauper. A triangular shack propped up with rags, a soot-blackened iron pot, and a chipped bowl with a missing tooth or two: that is her entire worldly wealth.

But no one knows what delicacies she cooks in that battered pot every day. She transmigrated to this little fishing village three years ago, and with her high-tech ability to fish freely in the deep sea, she has been living an unbelievably carefree life. Her ragged pockets are stuffed with large, lustrous pearls.

After another failed matchmaking date, she whistled as she headed back to her shack. Heaven, however, refused to let her remain single and was determined to find her a wife by any means necessary.

The waves swept a soft, fragrant mermaid beauty right to her feet. At just one glance, Song Haitang told the girl, “If I found you, you’re mine. That’s how it’s always been.”

She rescued the girl, hoisted her over her shoulder in no time, and set off. But Heaven played a trick on her: the girl was a dazed, silly little mute!

Still, the mute was too sweet and adorable to resist. She got the crab legs and the lobster tails, and Song Haitang fattened her up until she was round as a pearl and radiant as a jewel. The girl made her want to stop being a good person every single night.

Just as Song Haitang was wondering what to do about her irresistible appetite, the feast came right to her door…!

The little mute took her hand and said, “Come here. I want to play a game with you.”

Once Song Haitang broke her vow of chastity, there was no stopping her. All she could think about each day was cuddling up in bed with her wife. Later, the two of them had a child, and Song Haitang thought her life was complete. But then came a shocking turn of events: her wife left them both behind with a single line and ran away…!

“You saved my life, so I’m giving you yours back. Now we’re even!”

Song Haitang’s whole world collapsed!

Three years later, everyone in the capital was laughing over the same story: the Grand Princess had gone mad and insisted on snatching a merchant’s embroidered ball, desperate to become someone else’s child’s stepmother…!

Coming soon: The Female Lead’s Scum Ex-Wife

The moment she opened her eyes, Ye Mingshang found herself inside a book, in the body of a mad princess suffering from delusions: the story’s cannon-fodder villain.

After witnessing her biological elder brother’s gruesome death, the original owner would often lose her mind and forget who she was. Yet she used her status to beg and plead for the hand of Jiang Fuyue, the Left Chancellor’s daughter, who was both the female lead and her brother’s beloved.

She blamed the female lead for her brother’s death. Whenever she remembered his horrific end, she took her grief out on Jiang Fuyue, humiliating her and beating or scolding her at every turn. In the end, the female lead met the man destined for her and was successfully saved.

And as the cannon-fodder villain, not to mention the female lead’s ex-wife, the mad princess wound up as the Beggars’ Sect leader… She fought dogs for scraps and became so universally hated that everyone wanted her dead. This time, she really did go mad.

Ye Mingshang’s timing was terrible. Jiang Fuyue was tied to the bed by the original owner, her clothes in disarray, staring at Ye Mingshang with wide black-and-white eyes, shocked and frightened…!

The situation was dire. Ye Mingshang had a sudden inspiration, hurried over to untie the female lead, then said foolishly, “Well done, my lady! Give me another one over here, hee-hee!”

Humiliated and furious, Jiang Fuyue actually slapped her with all her strength, leaving a clear red mark on Ye Mingshang’s beautiful face. From then on, their relationship took a very different turn…!

Whenever the female lead so much as looked displeased, Ye Mingshang obediently offered her the “little whip,” her eyes innocent.

Later, their stepmother schemed to bundle the two of them off to the old family home. With barely enough to eat and rain leaking through the roof, Ye Mingshang finally couldn’t keep up the act!

But the mad princess still had to follow her cannon-fodder plot, so Ye Mingshang had no choice but to keep jumping back and forth between madness and foolishness. One moment she would have her wife cornered on the bed; the next, she would have to meekly admit defeat.

A short scene:

Jiang Fuyue looked at the dilapidated roof, their meager funds, baskets of radishes, and the fool she had to support. In a gentle voice, she asked, “Didn’t you sneak a look at Daya and Yuxia kissing yesterday? Did you learn anything?”

Ye Mingshang paused, her stunning face paired with a silly expression. “I learned!”

Jiang Fuyue narrowed her eyes and said sternly, “Then hurry over here!”

Gentle, refined, and secretly wicked future sister-in-law vs. younger masochistic lunatic princess

System: “You really do go all in when there’s a plot to follow!”

Ye Mingshang: “If I die beneath a peony, I’ll still have lived a life of passion!”
