After Falling for the Damp, Scheming Crown Prince, I Took Someone Else's Place as the Bride

Lively, adorable sunshine girl Yun Shiyin x gentle and refined (not really, strike that), gloomy and obsessive Crown Prince

Yun Shiyin's twin sister has run away from her wedding!

Afraid the imperial family would punish them, the Yun family hurriedly sent Yun Shiyin to take her sister's place as the bride.

Luckily, the sisters look exactly alike, so she can pass herself off as her sister.

Poor Yun Shiyin, though. Her elder sister is clever, quiet, and graceful, while she's loud and boisterous, always stirring up a commotion.

So Yun Shiyin is constantly afraid she'll give herself away.

To make matters worse, the Crown Prince is terribly clingy and barely gives her a moment to breathe.

When the Crown Prince wants a hug, Yun Shiyin has no idea how her sister usually behaves around him, so she bites her lip and burrows into his warm embrace.

When the Crown Prince wants a kiss, Yun Shiyin hesitates. "Your Highness, isn't this a little improper?"

The Crown Prince's expression changes abruptly. "You never used to refuse me."

But whenever Yun Shiyin looks into those peach-blossom eyes, full of tenderness and affection, she feels as if she's having an affair with her brother-in-law.

With no other choice, she reaches up to cover his eyes and steels herself to meet his lips.

On the eve of the Crown Prince's wedding, he disregards all propriety and insists on going to the Yun residence to see his fiancée.

But the moment he steps through the gate, he sees his bride-to-be taking a spectacular tumble on her way to meet him.

The maids around her hurriedly rush to help, only to see her scramble back up and blow on her knee, comforting herself: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt. Pain, fly away."

The Crown Prince watches the young girl, her eyes brimming with tears from the pain even as she tries to comfort herself. Gradually, she overlaps with the memory of someone from long ago, someone who would frown and gently blow on his wounds.

At just one glance, he sees through the truth.

At last, he is certain that the adorable girl he has thought of day and night is truly going to marry him.

Reader's guide:

* The Crown Prince recognizes at first sight that the heroine is not his original fiancée.

* The replacement marriage was actually arranged by the Crown Prince, who has always loved the heroine.

* For certain reasons, the heroine and her twin sister were raised separately, one at home and the other at their maternal grandparents' residence.

* Both leads are each other's first and only. A sweet romance with a happy ending.

Another upcoming story: After Flirting with a Cool-Headed Minister Using Fake Inner Thoughts

One day, after waking up, Yun Shao, the ninth princess of Great Zhou, suddenly discovers that many people around her can hear her thoughts.

So she gets the idea of using fake inner thoughts to tease people.

[Young Marquis, your writing is so good. Yun Shao likes bookish men best.]

Hearing Yun Shao's thoughts, the young marquis blushes and comes forward to write her a poem as a gift.

[Young General, your martial arts are so impressive. You look so handsome when you practice boxing.]

Hearing Yun Shao's thoughts, the young general puts even more effort into performing an entire military boxing routine.

Yun Shao's method of flirting is almost foolproof. Soon, the young gentlemen who have fallen for her stretch all the way from Yuhua Palace to the entrance of the imperial palace.

That is, until she starts flirting with the cool-headed minister, Li Jing.

[Lord Li is handsome and learned. It would be wonderful if he could become this princess's consort.]

Yun Shao gazes at Li Jing with glistening eyes, expecting him to blush. But he shows no reaction and turns to leave.

[I'm so dizzy. This princess is about to faint.]

But when Li Jing sees Yun Shao about to fall straight into his arms, he takes a timely step backward, and Yun Shao tumbles to the ground.

After getting up, Yun Shao watches Li Jing walk farther and farther away and stamps her foot in frustration. "You blockhead! I don't even want to flirt with you anymore!"

-

Li Jing watches coolly as one young nobleman after another is charmed by the ninth princess, finding them both ridiculous and utterly lacking in decorum.

He considers himself a man of considerable self-control, and when the ninth princess starts flirting with him, he does indeed manage to remain unmoved.

Who could have guessed that after the beautiful, radiant ninth princess sweeps into his arms like a gust of wind, she would just as quickly blow away somewhere else?

The ninth princess stops flirting with him and turns her attention to the chancellor's younger son instead.

Li Jing watches that scoundrel take the ninth princess's delicate hands in his.

He clenches his palms so tightly they nearly bleed. At last, the usually cool-headed, calm, and self-possessed minister can sit still no longer.
