After the Substitute Marriage, I Found Out My Husband Was Faking Being Gay

When Shen Zhiyi took her elder sister's place and married into the Prince of Jingnan's household, the whole capital laughed at her for being condemned to a lonely marriage.

Rumor had it that the heir, Zhao Yan, wore a ghost mask, was as ugly as sin, was bloodthirsty and vicious, and only liked men.

She nodded, hand on her heart. Just what I want. We won't interfere with each other, and we'll each do our own thing.

On their wedding night, she slapped the bed and put on an energetic performance, trying to fool her way through it.

The man beside her chuckled hoarsely.

"You really are throwing yourself into the role, aren't you, Princess Consort?"

Shen Zhiyi: ??? Aren't you supposed to like men?!

Later...

At the homecoming banquet, he shielded her behind him and gave the Shen family a cold look. "She's mine. Who dares bully her?"

At a palace banquet, he tucked a plum blossom into her hair, unable to hide the affection in his eyes. Even the Grand Princess teased him for having fallen in love.

During a snowbound hunt, she took a poisoned arrow for him. In her daze, she finally got to know the Zhao Yan who was said to be bloodthirsty and vicious.

The whole capital was dumbfounded. What happened to the aloof King of Hell who wanted nothing to do with women?!

Shen Zhiyi rubbed her aching back and smiled wryly.

All I wanted was to get revenge and build a career in peace.

How did I end up with an heir who's clingy, possessive, and exceptionally good at spoiling me?
