The Consort Is Bold and Carefree: The Foolish Prince's Cherished Love

Mu Yunxi is the legitimate eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites, but her father shows her no affection and her mother cares nothing for her. Raised deep in the mountains, she is unknown to the world! Rumor has it that she is ugly, poorly educated, untalented, and ill-tempered, an utterly useless woman. The truth is that she has a secret past no one knows about... Xuan Yuanche, the seventh son of the imperial family, went to war as a young man and won glory on the battlefield, earning merit that would endure for generations and bringing blessings to countless people. Yet even the emperor never gave him so much as a second glance. After seven years on the battlefield, he finally returned to the capital in triumph! At the victory banquet, a cup of poisoned wine failed to take his life, but left him with the mind of a seven-year-old child. In a single night, the prince who was a god of war became a foolish prince. The world either laughed or sighed. Thirteen years ago, a chance meeting between two young people bound them in a love that would last a lifetime, but drew them into a shocking conspiracy. Thirteen years later, an imperial decree joined their fates. An ugly woman matched with a foolish prince: the world sighed and declared them a perfect couple! Yet this marriage, which delighted the whole world, would ultimately bring that world crashing down! Bonus scene: On their wedding night Mu Yunxi sat on the bed in her bright red wedding dress when, suddenly, someone lifted one corner of the red veil on her head “Big Sister, you’re so beautiful!” A head poked beneath the veil. The face was exquisitely beautiful, almost bewitching, yet the eyes were as clear and pure as an angel’s. The man blinked, his expression full of childish wonder. “So you’re His Highness, Prince Ye?” A faint glimmer crossed Mu Yunxi’s cool eyes. She reached up and pulled off the veil, calmly sizing up the man before her. Her voice was cool and ethereal. “You can call me Che’er, Big Sister.” His voice was clear and innocent. He looked at her with a pure smile. “...” Mu Yunxi gazed at the man before her, whose every expression and gesture seemed childlike, and sighed inwardly. So he really was a fool! From that night on, there was always someone clinging to Mu Yunxi. “Big Sister, Che’er wants candied hawthorns!” “Big Sister, Che’er doesn’t know how to take off his clothes!” Bonus scene: A fiercely protective wife In the imperial garden, Xuan Yuanche sat on the ground. Beneath his rolled-up sleeves, his arms were covered in scratches and pinch marks from a woman. Nearby, several arrogant women looked down at him with scorn, their faces full of mockery and contempt. “What are you doing?” A cool voice rang out, sending a chill through the garden. “Big Sister, they said bad things about you. Che’er couldn’t beat them...” At the sound of Mu Yunxi’s voice, Xuan Yuanche scrambled to his feet and looked at her with an aggrieved, guilty expression, his face full of unease. “Who did this?” Her cool gaze fell on the bruised and scratched marks covering his arm, and her voice turned icy. “I did it! What about it? Hmph! How dare a fool, ah!” One arrogant woman glared at Mu Yunxi, her face haughty and challenging. “Smack! Smack!” Her hand flashed up, and the slaps rang out loud and clear! “Which hand did the pinching?” Mu Yunxi’s cool gaze swept over the woman’s cheeks, already swelling, as she demanded in a cold voice. “You... Mu Yunxi, you wretch! How dare you hit me!” The woman took a moment to recover, then pointed at Mu Yunxi and shouted. “Crack! Crack!” Two sharp snaps: the sound of bones breaking... “Ahhh!” The woman’s earth-shattering screams rang through the entire imperial garden. Everyone else stared in horror at the woman who had struck so mercilessly, all while seeming utterly unruffled. Their legs began to tremble beneath them... Bonus scene: Tenderness on a stormy night A fierce storm raged, with lightning and thunder. Blinding white flashes tore through the darkness, terrifying and unnerving. “No... don’t leave me... Mother, don’t die... don’t leave Che’er behind...” The sleeping man seemed trapped in a terrible nightmare. His eyes were tightly shut, his face deathly pale, his dark hair drenched with cold sweat. His hands flailed through the air, restless and frantic... “Che’er, what’s wrong? Don’t be afraid...” On the bed across from him, Mu Yunxi suddenly woke. In a flash, she was at Xuan Yuanche’s bedside, her cool face tinged with anxiety and concern. “Mother... don’t leave Che’er! Don’t die! Don’t leave me...” The man in the throes of his nightmare suddenly sat up and clung tightly to Mu Yunxi. His body trembled, as though his heart were overwhelmed by terror. “...All right. I won’t leave...”
