Ruan Yurong: She lets loose and does whatever she wants at night, then keeps up her aloof princess-consort image by day.
Xie Ling: At night, he holds his soft, fragrant wife in his arms. By day, she acts like nothing happened and leaves him alone in an empty room.
Blurb
Ruan Yurong, beloved daughter of the Duke of Wei, was married to Prince Xin by imperial decree.
It was said that Prince Xin was a cripple, blind and unable to walk on one leg.
The servants who cleaned the estate all felt sorry for the princess consort. What a terrible fate, marrying into the prince's household!
Prince Xin was cold and unpredictable. Ever since he lost his sight, he had stayed shut away in his room and forbidden anyone from approaching. Anyone who dared enter without permission would lose their life.
Everyone in the estate wished they could stay as far away from him as possible.
When Ruan Yurong heard all this, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Not going out and not having to talk to anyone? That sounded wonderful.
No one knew that she had suffered from a strange illness since childhood: every night, she would randomly choose something she had seen during the day and believe she was that thing.
The first time it happened, she thought she was a fish and made a beeline for the pond, ready to dive in.
At first, her family thought she was drunk and talking nonsense. Later, they realized it happened every single night.
Sometimes she thought she was a little bird perched on a branch, or a teapot in the room, or the quilt she slept under.
She would climb a tall tree and fall down.
She would gulp down water, insisting she wasn't full yet.
She would think she was a quilt, go looking for someone to cuddle, and try to keep them warm.
Night after night, she caused so much chaos that no one could rest, but by daytime she remembered nothing.
To keep herself from doing anything strange at night, Ruan Yurong kept to a very small area and hardly ever went out.
She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that as long as the two spouses treated each other with mutual respect, all would be well.
She never imagined things could go awry.
Late at night, Xie Ling watched Ruan Yurong stumble into his room, mumbling to herself.
His brow furrowed as he tried to ask what she was doing.
But in the next moment, she was in his arms, warm and soft, holding him tightly.
Xie Ling trembled, his eyes full of disbelief.
His broken body couldn't fight back, and so she held him all night.
The next day, after much hesitation, Xie Ling went to see his princess consort to ask what she had meant by it the night before.
But when he asked, his princess consort looked utterly innocent and confused, as if she had no memory of it at all.
Xie Ling was thunderstruck. Had he just been taken advantage of?
And now she was denying it?
With no evidence, Xie Ling could only let it go. But that very night, his princess consort came again.
She did the same thing, hugging him once more. Then she indignantly slapped the back of his hand until it turned red, telling him to hold her tighter.
Xie Ling could hardly believe it, but still reached out and wrapped an arm around her soft waist.
At the same time, he heard a voice in his mind.
"I am a vase. I am a vase. I am a vase."
Xie Ling chuckled and pinched her cheek. Sure enough, the little princess consort covered her face and cried angrily, "I'm going to break!"
From then on, what Xie Ling looked forward to most was nighttime, when his little princess consort would make her way to him and play a different role.
"Cuddle me, cuddle me, cuddle me."
Ruan Yurong hugged Xie Ling tightly, wanting to cover him completely.
Xie Ling: It's hot. He doesn't need a blanket.
"Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me."
In the darkness, Ruan Yurong felt for the corner of Xie Ling's mouth and kissed him.
Xie Ling: His heart is beating so fast, he's about to faint from excitement.
What should I do when my new wife comes to play role-playing games with me every night?
What should I do when my wife is cold by day and passionate by night?
What should I do when Yurong flirts with me and then refuses to take responsibility?
