A Guide to Saving the Short-Lived Prince

Qiao Mingyue worked herself to death from staying up late in her previous life, then transmigrated to ancient times as a daughter of a marquis's household. She vowed to live well this time around, eating, drinking, and having fun, and to be a long-lived layabout with no lofty ambitions.

An imperial decree orders her to become the Third Prince's consort.

Qi Jingyun, a notorious troublemaker, gambles, races horses, and lives it up, yet he is the man every young lady in the capital dreams of marrying.

The history books say Qi Jingyun betrayed his country and staged a rebellion. After he was convicted, every member of his household, over a thousand people, was executed.

The imperial decree can't be defied, so let's make each other's lives miserable!

Gambling? I need my money to sell rouge. I haven't got a single coin to spare.

Horse racing? Those prized horses, the Ferghana steeds and the Black Charger, are all being sent to the frontiers to guard the border.

As for living it up...

"Husband, care to learn about the ten new tortures?"

"Miss Qiao, Chief Qiao, Fairy Qiao, can't I just stay home? Don't hit me! It hurts, it hurts!"

Later, she turned him into the capital's most notorious henpecked husband, got him banished to Shu, and made it so he could never return to the capital for the rest of his life.

Yet he thanked her instead.

"You're my lucky star. From the moment I first saw you, I knew you were the only one who could save me in this life."
