The Bridegroom I Married as a Substitute Is a Sweetheart

Coming soon: Raising a Little Peacock and His Mute Husband; The Rich Old Man Keeps Getting Back Pain After His Divorce

(The upcoming-story blurbs are at the bottom. Add them to your favorites if you're interested!)

A beautiful, disabled, useless prince as the seductive pursuer x a money-loving beauty with a face complex who is a nonhuman little dragon

Xu Nanxing transmigrated into the body of an unloved concubine-born son. His elder sister, who didn't want to marry, tied him up and stuffed him into the bridal sedan chair.

They said the prince he was marrying was blind, had a broken leg, and a foul temper. He'd also lost his power, and Xu Nanxing was being sent to him as a good-luck bride. If the marriage worked, he would have neither glory nor riches. If it didn't, he'd be doomed to a lonely life.

But Xu Nanxing was a sucker for handsome faces. Blind? A broken leg? No problem! That face was all he needed!

The prince couldn't consummate the marriage himself?

No problem! Xu Nanxing could get on top and do it himself!

Shen Mingxiu returned from the battlefield as a cripple, and nearly died.

He didn't want to ruin an innocent man's life, and had planned to find an opportunity to divorce his young husband. He never expected the little guy to pamper him so much that he felt as if he'd fallen into a jar of honey.

Watching him open a restaurant and a clinic, Shen Mingxiu waved a hand! He'd pay for everything!

Even if the little guy wanted to leave one day, he would do his best to set him free.

Until one day, Xu Nanxing clutched his stomach and lay across his legs. "Hubby, hubby, we've got one!"

Shen Mingxiu: "..."

Next story blurb: Raising a Little Peacock and His Mute Husband

A flamboyant peacock of a gem merchant as the pursuer x an optimistic little mute accountant as the pursued

Bai Qianjing, a peacock who loves money above all else, takes a divine beast phoenix as his sidekick and befriends his natural enemy, a fox.

Every day, aside from trading shiny gems for even shinier silver, his favorite thing is admiring his gorgeous feathers in his nest, piled high with jewelry.

As for starting a family and getting married? Bai Qianjing would rather spend his life with money.

Money loves him, and he loves money.

Until he takes in a pitiful little mute.

After that--

Bai Qianjing: Listen to your husband, this is one thing we can't skimp on. Our baby's eggshell must be inlaid with gold and jade!

Shen Dengxing was born outside his father's main marriage and driven from the house by his father's principal wife. His father was ashamed of him for being mute, and even his birth mother turned away from him for the sake of wealth and status.

The little mute was alone and helpless, wandering the streets with an untreated illness. Just as he thought his time had come, a richly dressed young master appeared before him.

Shen Dengxing: ...So this is what the Black and White Impermanence look like?

Bai Qianjing picked him up and gave him a shake. "The Black and White Impermanence aren't as rich as me."

Only later did the little mute learn that Bai Qianjing wasn't a ghost sent to claim his life, but the lucky star he'd been fortunate enough to meet.

Later still--

Shen Dengxing held a gold-trimmed peacock egg in his arms and watched his husband dance gracefully before him. Though he couldn't praise him in words, he could smile and clap.

My husband is the most beautiful man in the world!

Theme: Happiness simply came late. It hasn't forgotten you.
