The Laissez-Faire Fish's Substitute Marriage [Book Transmigration]

1.

Gu Lin transmigrates into a book, becoming the cannon-fodder character who is married off in place of the protagonist to a disabled prince.

The original owner secretly loved the second prince, the male lead's second-in-command. After marrying the disabled prince, he tirelessly passed information to the second prince. In the end, his identity as a spy was exposed, and he died under the blade.

Gu Lin: What kind of world-class sucker is this? Is the food at the prince's manor bad? Or is life with money and free time not comfortable enough?

After marrying into the manor, Gu Lin adopts an attitude of ignoring everything outside and focusing on food, drink, and fun. Life couldn't be better.

It's just that the prince, whom he visits punctually every day, has started looking at him more and more strangely.

2.

Prince Ling, Xiao Chengqian, is reborn on the day of his wedding. Remembering that the second prince sent a spy to his side, he decides to get rid of the man first.

But Xiao Chengqian soon realizes that something is off.

When the second prince's spy comes looking for Gu Lin, Gu Lin ignores him and turns around to report every hidden agent in the manor.

Xiao Chengqian keeps watching and discovers that, every day, Gu Lin does nothing but eat and experiment with food, coming up with endless new ways to prepare it. He also likes bringing dishes to Xiao Chengqian's courtyard and inviting him to try them. If Xiao Chengqian refuses, Gu Lin fixes him with a pair of big, dewy eyes. As a result, instead of losing weight while recovering from his injuries, Xiao Chengqian has gained a few pounds.

Xiao Chengqian: ...

Could he be deeply in love with me?

I'm not sure. I'll keep watching.

3.

After winning Xiao Chengqian over with his delicious food, Gu Lin tells him that if he no longer needs their marriage, he can say so at any time, and Gu Lin will leave right away.

Gu Lin waits and waits, until Xiao Chengqian becomes emperor, uproots the second prince's faction, and offers Gu Lin the empress's throne.

Gu Lin: "What happened to letting me go free?"

Xiao Chengqian blushes slightly. "Now that I know how you feel, I'll grant your wish."

Gu Lin gets a bad feeling. "What feelings?"

Xiao Chengqian lists them one by one. "You rooted out the spies in the manor. While I was recovering, you worried I wouldn't have an appetite and came up with all kinds of unusual dishes..."

Gu Lin, who only kept feeding Xiao Chengqian to curry favor with his meal ticket and maintain his carefree life: ...Uh, what? O_o
