The Timid Princess Found Her Courage After a Political Marriage

This novel was originally titled The Moon Shines Brighter Over Home.

The timid princess sent to marry for peace from the Great Jin Kingdom VS Prince Su, the eldest son of the powerful crown prince of the Great Sheng Kingdom.

Though Li Yuezhi is a princess of the Great Jin Kingdom, her emperor father doesn't love her, her mother has little influence, the favored Imperial Consort dominates the palace, the Empress's family wields power throughout the court, and her weak, bookish father has princesses by the dozen. As one of them, Li Yuezhi must tread on thin ice in the harem, be extremely cautious, keep to her place, and survive in the cracks.

She thought meeting young Marquis Chen, a noble scion, meant she could finally live without worry and stay by his side until they were old. Who could have known that he was beyond her reach? Her own elder sister stole her childhood sweetheart, and Prince Su of neighboring Great Sheng named her as the bride to be sent in a political marriage.

Well, this is just great. Her romance has been torn apart, her sweetheart has run off, her good match has vanished, and now she has to be sent to another country for a political marriage...

She heard that the old Chanyu she was to marry was over fifty, with a huge beard and no teeth left. His grandson was nearly as old as Li Yuezhi, and he still couldn't give up his lecherous ways. Li Yuezhi was utterly despairing. As she shut her eyes and put on her wedding dress, she had already imagined all the ways she might die. But when the veil was lifted, she thought, Good heavens, how did they switch the groom!?

How did the old Chanyu of the Northern Desert, reviled by everyone and avoided like the plague because he was on his deathbed, turn into Prince Su of the Great Sheng Kingdom, the cool and handsome heartthrob all the young ladies were vying to throw themselves at? Was this a gift from Heaven?

Well, now the princess who had spent more than a decade being timid, Li Yuezhi, can ask for the moon and have someone climb to the ninth heaven to pluck it for her. Ask for a pet turtle, and someone will dive into the deepest seas to catch one. She never has to be timid again. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Li Yuezhi: "I've been bullied in the palace since I was little. Are you going to bully me too?"

Gu Min: "Little Princess, think about it. Since you married me, who dares bully you? I'm not bullying you, I'm just fiercely protective of what's mine."

Chen Yi: "Yue'er, wait a little longer. Your Brother Chen Yi is coming to steal you back."

Li Mengzhi: "Just try it."

Gu Min carefully pulls Yuezhi into his arms. His gaze is cool and his voice low. "When you had your chance, you didn't cherish it. Now, you think you can take her? Don't make me laugh."

Onlookers A, B, C, and D: "Is this melon sweet?"

The author stops typing and frowns, pressing a hand to their forehead. "Sweet. So sweet it'll kill you."

Currently serializing: Year After Year, Peach Blossoms Bloom

A mischievous lady doctor and a young, innocent general in a bittersweet, sweet romance.

Who is Su Xiaonian?

The old miracle doctor of Qingyun Mountain.

She bullies the weak, sucks up to the powerful, acts worldly, and likes to tease people now and then.

When she's in a good mood, she enjoys the exceptional, revered life of a physician among the apricot groves on Qingyun Mountain, treating patients and living like a carefree recluse.

When she's in a bad mood, she digs up old grudges and poisons anyone she can't stand.

She thought she'd keep living like this, day after day. But fate had other plans. After a bandit uprising, Pei Tao, a young general from a distinguished family, cold-faced and full of schemes, barged onto Qingyun Mountain.

A mischievous girl runs into a pure-hearted, aloof young general.

Ah, what a tangled fate.

After a few encounters, a couple of fights, and three rounds of "verbal" sparring, the mighty Su Xiaonian, who'd been throwing her weight around for half her life, had her "tiger skin" exposed, her martial arts sealed, and her lifeline pinched. Bruised and battered, she slunk off to the military camp to do odd jobs for the general.

Pei Tao: "Su Xiaonian, do your job and treat me properly!"

Su Xiaonian: "Pei, if you're sick, go get treated! Why are you always keeping an eye on everything I do?"

Pei Tao: "Su Xiaonian, if you're going to eat, then eat. If you're going to roast meat, then roast it. Why are you poisoning mine?"

Su Xiaonian: "Back in the day, on Qingyun Mountain, I could hit any pot I wanted. Now, in this lousy military camp, any pot that wants to hit me can do it! You Pei bastard, you dragged me off to sleep all night, then told me to keep quiet about it? Damn it!"

Awkward.

She thought she could just get through life by trading moves with Pei Tao, exchanging cold words, and cooperating, however reluctantly, without violence. Maybe they could at least have a peaceful, gradual life together!

But one day, this irritable, unpredictable little miracle doctor stripped away her thick disguise in plain sight.

As the young Pei general looked at the beautiful, radiant young woman before him, his old heart missed a beat for the first time in years, and finally cried out, "Oh no..."
