Lantern Light on a Lonely Boat

A sweet, delicate beauty × an icy prince with extremely sensitive skin

Ever since he was a child, Xiao Yanzhou had been regarded as an ill-omened child. When he grew up, he carved his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, becoming a madman who killed without blinking. He had considered usurping the throne and dragging everyone into an abyss of eternal damnation.

Then the Empress suddenly arranged a marriage for him.

On their wedding night, the woman told him she already had a family outside the palace and asked him to put up with it for now. They could discuss a divorce later.

And that wasn't all. She sweet-talked him, teased him when she was drunk, personally helped him into the carriage, and then kept quiet about her debts, which were an utter money pit.

Prince Ding did whatever she asked. People in the capital whispered in amazement: What kind of love potion had the Princess Consort given Prince Ding to make him so infatuated?

They weren't the only ones wondering. Even the Princess Consort, who could sing, play instruments, and dance with equal skill, began to doubt herself. "I'm so amazing. Could he be in love with me?"

P.S.

The male lead seems perfectly normal on the surface, but he's crazy underneath. The female lead is clever, but she uses all her wiles on him.

No children, no children, no children.
