Lying Flat After Marrying the Deposed Crown Prince

Jiang Yu had the misfortune of transmigrating into the heroine of a melodramatic tragedy novel.

The male lead, the Third Prince, fell in love with her at first sight and pursued her relentlessly. She was clearly about to be trapped forever on the road to being tormented.

She turned and ran, marrying Fu Yuan, the disgraced Crown Prince under house arrest.

The Crown Prince had been stripped of his title, power, and influence, and no one had any faith in this marriage.

Even Fu Yuan himself did not believe Jiang Yu would genuinely be willing to marry him.

On their wedding day, he expected to see a tearful face.

But when he lifted her veil, the beautiful girl merely curved her eyes and smiled brightly at him. “Well met, Your Highness.”

*

Jiang Yu had seen Fu Yuan twice before.

Once, in the bitter depths of winter, he saved her from drowning.

The other time was at a grand banquet hosted by an eminent family. With guests filling the hall, someone made things difficult for her.

He walked over amid a crowd of people, rescued her from the situation, and casually gave her a magnolia branch.

Even though he had never noticed her,

Jiang Yu knew that he was a good man.

*

After she married him, Fu Yuan did not mistreat her. He was simply extremely cold.

Knowing that he had no interest in women, Jiang Yu carefully maintained her distance.

But she soon discovered that Fu Yuan was not truly a vicious monster. He had merely been locked up for too long: he was starving.

As long as she served him dishes she had cooked herself, she could receive rewards, including but not limited to jewelry, silk, the keys to the treasury, gold, silver notes, and more...

Such a good deal?

Jiang Yu accepted so much money that her hands grew weak, and settled into a lie-flat life of three meals a day.

She planned to leave Chang'an and head south once she had saved enough money and Fu Yuan had ascended the throne as he did in the original novel.

But who could have expected plans to fall behind changes?

One day, she accidentally took an aphrodisiac and ultimately failed to escape the original plot.

As she hurried away, she crashed into a familiar embrace.

“Your Highness... save me.” She clutched the man's sleeve and pleaded pitifully.

The prince's expression was cold, as though unmoved.

Jiang Yu: “...I'll make you crab roe noodles, lion's-head meatballs, Dongpo pork, and peach-blossom pastries!”

She heard him chuckle. In no hurry, he said, “Deal.”

Their fingers intertwined. A cold shadow descended, and he helped her dispel the poison.

It was a night of exquisite, wild passion, so absurd that she could not bear to recall it.

From then on, the prince acquired another habitual phrase: “I'm hungry. Let's have fish tonight.”

Jiang Yu: “...”

Could you at least clarify which fish you're talking about?!

A salted-fish beauty x a scheming Crown Prince

1. Both leads are sexually inexperienced, with a warm and healing romance that starts with marriage and develops into love, ending happily.

2. The male lead is genuinely hungry and can eat a great deal.

A preview recommendation for After Transmigrating with My Overachieving Older Brother:

Before transmigrating, Ming Lan had a smooth and happy life with everything she could want.

Then she transmigrated into the cultivation world and became the impoverished, gravely wounded, half-dead sect master of the Seeking Heaven Sect.

System: You need to work hard and make the sect bigger and stronger as soon as possible.

Ming Lan: Sorry, the only two words in my life are lie flat.

But the sect leaked from every corner, and a whole group of disciples were crying out to be fed. She had no choice but to work herself to the bone, making Ming Lan's life unbearably miserable.

Before long, someone offered the sect master a male pet so she could absorb yang energy to restore her cultivation.

Ming Lan took a closer look.

That man in fluttering white robes, with his aloof air and a face as expressionless as a corpse.

Wasn't he Xu Su, her obnoxious stepbrother from before she transmigrated?

Upon learning that Xu Su did not have a System, Ming Lan immediately put on a flattering expression. “Bro, how about we make a deal?”

She did not want to work hard, but her stepbrother was an expert at it!

Ming Lan promptly bound Xu Su to her subsidiary System.

And so:

When Xu Su cultivated, her realm improved.

When Xu Su made money, she received double dividends.

When Xu Su expanded his territory, her prestige increased.

Lying flat became effortless.

Ming Lan: “Bro, you're such a good person.”

Ming Lan: “But bro, what are you doing in my bed?”

The bed curtains swayed beneath the dim light.

Xu Su's cool fingers brushed her face. His voice was as cold as ever, though it held a little more pity.

“The Love Gu was planted between us from the beginning. It is acting up now. I've helped you so many times. Now it's your turn.”

Ming Lan: “...”

When was the Love Gu planted?! Why didn't she know about it?!

*

Xu Su had known from the start that one of the conditions for binding a subsidiary System was for both parties to be bound by a Love Gu.

Whenever he drew close to her, his desires would burn him.

But it did not matter. He did not care.

If a person could not overcome such trivial desire, they were no different from a beast.

Later...

“It is merely the Love Gu acting up.” Meeting Ming Lan's tear-filled gaze, Xu Su gripped her ankle and stated this calmly.

Ming Lan: “...”

As if I believe you!
