After Taking My Twin Sister's Place in Bed

[The Marriage That Brought Good Fortune is now updating. Welcome to read it!]

Not long after the wedding, Prince Jin began to sense something was off. By day, his wife was warm and cheerful; at night, she was cold as frost.

It was almost as if there were two people.

But his wife looked exactly the same day and night, down to every strand of hair. How could it be an act?

That night, Prince Jin left a scorching kiss mark on his "wife's" slender neck.

Later, his wife's twin brother, Wei Qingning, was bitten on the neck by a mosquito.

It was the middle of winter.

At first, Wei Qingning didn't know that her younger sister's abdominal injury was an elaborate hoax. To prevent her sister's engagement from being called off, Wei Qingning had no choice but to take a risk and take her place in bed.

She had disguised herself as a man since childhood and was skilled at solving cases, but clumsy when it came to sharing a bed. At night, she blushed furiously; by day, she did everything she could to keep the truth hidden.

As it happened, Prince Jin extended his affection for his wife to her, growing closer and closer to his wife's older brother. He had her ride with him, help him remove his robes and apply medicine, and even sleep in the same bed, wrapped in each other's arms...

The closer they grew, the more uneasy she became.

Wei Qingning hurriedly arranged a transfer out of the capital, only to discover that her new superior was Prince Jin!

In the inner chamber of the government office, her official robes were disheveled and her heart trembled.

The man gently smoothed the damp, tousled hair beside her ear and laughed softly against her cheek. "Will you run away again, Princess Consort?"

By day, a cool-headed heir with a heart for his country; by night, a shy, innocent wife, teased into blushing

vs. a prince with a butcher's knife in one hand and prayer beads in the other, a deceptively gentle man with a powerful need for control

1. An old-school, melodramatic story. The male lead, Prince Jin, is 20; the female lead is 16.

3. A bittersweet romance with angst and sweetness, forced possession and a satisfying pursuit of his wife.

Yun You first met Bo Sinian at an engagement banquet.

The man wore a white Zhongshan suit embroidered with green bamboo. Elegant and warm, he walked beside her aunt.

They were a perfect match, and the room filled with well-wishes.

At the time, she had been pushed into a swimming pool and was in a sorry state. He had a servant bring her a blanket.

Under the brilliant sunshine, she looked up at the raised terrace. Among all the people there, he alone seemed wrapped in a golden, warm glow.

Five years later, they met again at a club halfway up a mountain.

The man wore a black Zhongshan suit embroidered with a black dragon. He looked lean and stern, and now held a black-and-gold cane in his left hand.

He brushed past her at the entrance, got into a Maybach, and vanished into the thick rain and mist.

Her beat-up motorcycle wasn't allowed inside, and she arrived five minutes late to their blind date. The meeting ended badly. Yun You smiled silently. The gap between their social classes was too great, and she hadn't expected anything anyway.

It wasn't until nine months after registering their marriage that Bo Sinian announced the news. His bride was an illegitimate daughter, to boot.

The elite circle was in an uproar. Everyone said he was just placating his family, and that the marriage wouldn't last.

Especially after they heard that Yun You was an idle street artist.

After all, Bo Sinian was extremely strict, scheduling his time down to the second.

But the rumors of marital trouble never came. Instead, people learned that Bo Sinian had spent a fortune organizing an art exhibition for Yun You.

His childhood friend was curious and asked him about it. As usual, Bo Sinian was too busy to pay attention.

But if anyone asked why his schedule's last line was filled with cartoon animals, Bo Sinian would briefly put work aside, his eyes full of tenderness. "My wife controls all my time after work."
