The Cold King's Beloved: The Poison-Eyed Consort

When she woke up, she had not only become disabled and confined to a wheelchair, but had also been sent to a tomb to take her twin sister’s place, where she was to accompany a man lying in a coffin. That’s right: she was buried alive as a human sacrifice. After spending endless nights in the lightless tomb, she was suddenly hurriedly taken away one day. The emperor had issued an order, decreeing that she, a cripple, would marry the Ninth Prince, a renowned war hero. It was all meant to humiliate him! The Ninth Prince had led thousands of troops to defend the border, earning fame across the land for his glorious victories. But one day, an imperial decree ordered him to marry a woman with paralyzed legs who sat in a wheelchair. It was a huge humiliation, but he accepted it for the time being. So what if she was crippled? What difference was she from a vase left in a corner to gather dust? But after they became husband and wife, they discovered that the other was remarkably different from what they’d expected! The Ninth Prince, who had grown up in military camps, had three great qualities: mature, patient, and easy to push down! This woman, who wasn’t actually disabled at all, had three poisonous traits: a sharp tongue, a sharp eye, and an even more poisonous heart! Their fiery life together began. As it turned out, married life called for both wits and courage. Red candles flickered in the bridal chamber. The man wore a red robe. Handsome as if carved from jade, he approached through the glow of the candles like a celestial being. At the bridal bed, he lifted the veil from the woman’s head with one hand. His gaze swept over her, cold and sharp as a blade, examining her as if she were an object. She let him look her over. Her face was as blank as a sheet of white paper, but her eyes were clear, with a hint of pride. After a long moment of staring at each other, the man turned and left. The woman looked away and closed her eyes. That was their wedding night! At sunset on the grasslands, the woman sat in her wheelchair, gazing into the distance with unfocused eyes as if she’d entered another world. The cold, imposing man watched her from afar. His wife had a power no ordinary person could match: she could see things that were about to happen. She was spacing out again. Who knew what she was seeing this time? He walked toward her step by step, each stride as measured as a drumbeat and heavy with pressure. Up close, he saw her fair face, her cheeks flushed like milk tinged with red. It seemed she’d seen something quite unsuitable for children. “What did you see?” he asked, his voice low and unmistakably masculine. As if startled, she snapped back to her senses. Her face turned scarlet, but her eyes blazed with anger. “Yun Jiu, you’re being a pervert!” Her scolding only confirmed what she’d just seen. His brows arched, and a wicked smile appeared on his sharply defined face. “What did I do?” The woman froze, then abruptly stood up and abandoned her beloved wheelchair as she walked away. The man turned slightly to watch her retreating figure, the wicked smile never leaving his lips. Whatever she’d seen was bound to happen soon. He’d had countless ideas of his own for a long time, but none thrilled him as much as her confirmation. It seemed she was about to truly become his woman! One-on-one romance, a strong hero and heroine, devoted pampering, no angst. Come on in~~
