The Crown Princess Doesn't Treat Me Like I'm Disabled

(Sunny food blogger x disabled, gloomy crown prince)

The original owner died just as Yao Yuejin transmigrated into her body. With the help of the few faint traces of the original owner's soul, Yao Yuejin inherited some hazy memories.

Her memories told her she was the only daughter of the Yao family, twenty-two years old, and married, with a husband named Pei Fengzhi who had disabled legs and a mischievous six-year-old son named Yao An.

Her parents had both died, leaving her a restaurant. Unfortunately, it was tucked away in a remote location, and business had never been good.

On top of that, her husband was disheartened by his disability and stayed indoors all day, earning no money and spending plenty.

The original owner's family lived in dire poverty.

How could that be acceptable?

Just because he was disabled and handsome, did he think other people should support him and wait on him hand and foot?

Yao Yuejin wasn't about to be taken for a fool.

So while running the restaurant, Yao Yuejin confiscated all of Pei Fengzhi's hidden money and put him to work like a draft animal.

With her husband disabled, Yao Yuejin took him along to plead for sympathy and collect debts.

A wheelchair was perfect for hauling goods, saving time and effort. And if her husband was without his wheelchair, he could stand by the stove and watch the fire! So what if it was summer? Did that mean they should stop doing business?

Didn't want to go out? No problem. Her husband was handsome, so he could stand at the door and greet customers.

Pei Fengzhi used to hide indoors, despondent, like a white crane with broken wings waiting to die. Later, to get revenge and kill Yao Yuejin, he exercised every day. His arm muscles grew by the hour, and he wished he could spin his wheelchair wheels fast enough to shoot sparks as he chased her down.

They both hated each other bitterly and were at each other's throats. Except that a love-binding Gu required them to have sex once every month, they couldn't stand the sight of each other.

But that was only Pei Fengzhi's side of the story. In truth, Yao Yuejin had never taken his petty resentment to heart.

After all, her restaurant was now famous throughout Qingling, with every table in high demand. Pei Fengzhi depended on her completely for his livelihood.

Until the day Yao Yuejin accidentally learned the truth.

First, Pei Fengzhi wasn't some disabled, down-and-out man. He was the crown prince, who had been missing for half a year.

Second, she and Pei Fengzhi weren't actually married. She had taken his money to pretend to be his wife and serve as a shield to protect him. Even the boy they called their son had nothing to do with either of them.

Third, the crown prince had recovered and dispatched troops to capture the woman who had treated him like a slave, ordering him around day and night.

Yao Yuejin: "..."

At the Crown Prince's Residence, Yao Yuejin was locked inside an enormous golden birdcage.

Pei Fengzhi held a dagger and dragged it across the golden bars. The metallic scrape rang out again and again, like a summons from the King of Hell.

But Yao Yuejin wasn't afraid at all. She ate, drank, and slept as usual.

After all, as long as the love-binding Gu remained unbroken, the two of them had to share a bed once a month. Otherwise, they would both drop dead.

Pei Fengzhi gave a cold laugh. "You really aren't afraid of dying."

Yao Yuejin held out a skewer of fragrant grilled lamb. "Husband, want some?"

Pei Fengzhi: "Hmph."

Pei Fengzhi took the skewer.

Before he captured Yao Yuejin, Pei Fengzhi had always wanted to kill her.

And after he captured her, he still did.

A little mishap was all that stopped him from doing so.

That day, the commander of the imperial guards handed him a pill. "Your Highness, this is the only antidote in the world for the love-binding Gu."

"Is that so?"

Pei Fengzhi toyed with the pill in his hand.

Plop.

The pill fell into the lotus pond.

Pei Fengzhi smiled. "What should I do? I accidentally dropped it."
