Why Is the Husband I Sold the Crown Prince?

The upcoming novels "Zheluan" and "Chenfu" are introduced below. Please add them to your collection!

Synopsis:

Ming Sui has suffered from an eye condition since childhood, and her father is a good-for-nothing who spends every day scheming to give her to a local gentryman as a concubine.

So she secretly saved up five taels of silver and bought a slave to be her husband.

She figured she could have a child with this live-in son-in-law, take charge of her own life from then on, and avoid being made a concubine and held in someone else's power.

On their wedding night, Ming Sui imitated the voluptuous sister-in-law next door. She softly called the slave "husband," hugged him from behind, and clumsily felt her way over his body.

But the slave was like a cold, venomous snake. He shoved her away.

*

The Crown Prince of the current dynasty, Pei Shixu, was born into the imperial family, a heaven-blessed son of the realm, lofty and out of reach.

But one day, he fell from grace and found himself obsessively pursued by a crude, blind girl.

Not only was she full of lewd talk, she even climbed into his bed, hoping to offer herself to him.

Pei Shixu detested people who fawned and ingratiated themselves, but he endured her again and again, waiting for the day he could rise again and break those wanton hands of hers.

Then an accident brought them skin to skin.

...Since he had already touched her, he couldn't very well leave her to fend for herself.

The vast Eastern Palace had room for one little bird who knew how to serve him.

*

The deposed crown prince returned to the capital, once more wielding all the power in the realm. Word had it that a bewildered little blind girl was with him.

For the imperial consort's investiture ceremony, crowds packed the capital, all craning their necks to see what kind of celestial beauty could have won the favor of this prince, who had never shown interest in women, and received such an immense honor.

But when the beaming matchmaker lifted the bridal sedan's curtain, there was no one inside.

The little blind girl had run away.

In the utterly silent hall, an attendant made his way through the crowd and, trembling, knelt before Pei Shixu to present a bill of sale for a slave.

It read: "Ming Sui voluntarily sells the slave Pei Shixu. Since he was disobedient and I also borrowed his seed once, I sold him at a discount for one tael of silver. The sale is final. From now on, we're even."

Beneath the Chengqian Hall plaque, the crown prince's face was hidden in shadow. His long, pale fingers clenched the contract in his palm and crushed it to pieces...

Borrowed his seed?

Well, wasn't that a fine way to put it: borrowed his seed.

*

On the road out of the Eastern Palace, Ming Sui did the math with the one tael of silver in her hand.

So, basically, she'd spent four taels to borrow him for one night?

Not a bad deal. Not bad at all.

He was pretty good at taking care of people, too. ˶ᵔ⤚ᵔ˵

Upcoming novel "Zheluan" synopsis:

A military marquis rose to power in the north. His seven-foot sword had never left anyone alive.

Three years later, the court had been driven into retreat at every turn, and the dynasty was on the brink of collapse.

To stabilize the situation, the court sent a princess to marry the marquis, along with ten thousand taels of gold.

But even with envoys filling his gates, the marquis's residence remained tightly shut.

From within, they received just one message: "Have Shen Jianyue, Lady of Ningyang County, accompany the princess as her dowry."

*

Shen Jianyue never imagined that, as the relative of a mere ninth-rank official, she could cause such a stir in the turbulent court not once, but twice.

The first time, she presented evidence of treason and sent the young Marquis Xie Ji, a dashing man from Shengjing with lofty ambitions, to the executioner's block.

For that, she received the empty title of Lady of the County.

The second time, a single casual order from a military marquis she'd never met turned her from a noble county lady into a dowry maid.

The marquis was ruthless, and the princess had no compassion. Knowing she had no way to deal with them, Shen Jianyue could only flee on her wedding night.

But in the cramped, pitch-black maid's room, the sudden clink of porcelain rang out.

"Where are you going?"

The marquis, who should have been performing the wedding rites, sat behind her, dressed in a black python robe that blended into the night.

Only his long fingers, winding with whip scars, were exposed to the moonlight as he leisurely stirred his tea, one stroke at a time.

On his fingertip, two old tooth marks remained, left by the young girl who used to playfully bite him...

*

For a year after the princess entered his household, the marquis claimed military affairs kept him too busy to spend the night in her room.

One night, the princess brought him a bowl of warming soup. Through a gap in the window, she accidentally glimpsed military texts scattered across the floor.

The broad-shouldered marquis had his frail, distracted dowry maid trapped in front of a mirror.

In the mirror, the girl's hair was in disarray. She bit the man's index finger and wept in restraint. "Xie Ji, it's been a year. Isn't that enough?"

"Shen Jianyue, this is only the beginning..."

Back then, she abandoned him and ruined him, turning him into a monster everyone despised.

So he would break her, shatter her, and drag her into this lightless hell, where they could rot in the mud together, locked in an endless struggle to the death.

Upcoming novel "Chenfu" synopsis:

The court was corrupt, and warlords rose up everywhere.

To preserve peace in the Central Plains, Xiao Heng, military governor of the northern borderlands, led his troops into the capital and put an end to the chaos. He became the youngest founding emperor in the history books.

Afterward, Xiao Heng left the harem empty and devoted himself body and soul to governing. In five years, he ushered in the golden age of Great Qi and became the peerless benevolent ruler in the hearts of the people.

But the strain of overwork left Xiao Heng plagued by headaches. Whenever they struck, he felt like smashing his head against the ground.

His close minister Xu Yi then recommended his wife, Xiuyin, a skilled physician, to Xiao Heng.

Xu Yi and Xiao Heng were both sovereign and subject, as well as friends. They had risked their lives together while fighting for the realm, and Xu Yi had once taken a fatal arrow meant for Xiao Heng.

His wife Xiuyin had a miraculous touch, and her slender hands were especially skilled at massage.

Yet months after Xiuyin began attending the emperor, his headaches not only failed to ease, but became more frequent.

He even summoned her to the palace at night while she and her husband were talking in private.

One day, with urgent business to discuss, Xu Yi entered the palace late at night to see the emperor. Behind His Majesty, beyond a crimson gauze curtain, he saw a graceful silhouette hiding her face with a handkerchief, quietly weeping.

A gust of wind lifted one corner of the curtain, revealing a section of flawless, pale arm, marked with the distinct imprints of five fingers...

*

Xiao Heng was born under an ill omen. He spent half his life proving his virtue beyond reproach and his divine mandate to rule.

Until one day, when his head was splitting with pain, he accidentally fell into the woman's warm, gentle embrace.

When her soft, boneless hands rested on his shoulders,

Xiao Heng committed the greatest mistake of his life, one he would never regret.

*

All the people of the realm called Xiao Heng a true dragon emperor who upheld propriety and restrained himself.

Only Xiuyin knew how, in that dim palace chamber, the man in his black robe embroidered with gold dragged her, step by step, into a bottomless abyss...
