One day, she woke up not only disabled and confined to a wheelchair, but also thrown into a tomb in place of her twin sister, to keep company with a man lying in a coffin. Yes, she was being buried alive as a human sacrifice.
After spending endless, lightless nights in the tomb, she was suddenly hurriedly taken away. The emperor had issued an order, selecting her, a cripple, to marry the celebrated Ninth Prince. It was all meant to humiliate him!
The Ninth Prince had led vast armies to defend the border, and his glorious victories were known throughout the land. But one day, an imperial decree ordered him to marry a woman whose legs were disabled and who sat in a wheelchair. It was a tremendous insult, but he accepted it for the time being. So what if she was a crippled woman? How was she any different from a vase left in a corner to gather dust?
But once they became husband and wife, he discovered that she was nothing like he had expected!
This Ninth Prince, who had grown up among soldiers in the military camps, had three great qualities: mature, patient, and easy to take down!
This woman, who was not actually disabled at all, had three deadly qualities: a sharp tongue, a sharp eye, and an even more poisonous heart!
Their fiery life together began. As it turned out, married life was a battle of wits and wills, too.
Red candles flickered in the bridal chamber.
The man came toward her in a red robe, his handsome features as if carved from stone, looking like a god in the candlelight.
At the wedding bed, he lifted the veil from the woman's head with one hand. His eyes were devoid of warmth as he surveyed her, his gaze sharper than a sword. He scrutinized her as if she were an object.
She let him look her over. Her face was as blank as a sheet of paper, but her eyes were bright, with a hint of pride all their own.
After they stared at each other for a while, the man swept out. The woman looked away and closed her eyes. That was their wedding night!
At sunset on the grasslands, the woman sat in her wheelchair, staring into the distance with a dazed look in her eyes, as if she had entered another world.
The cold, imposing man watched her from afar. His wife possessed an ability beyond ordinary people: she could see what was about to happen. She was lost in thought again. Who knew what she was seeing this time?
He walked toward her, step by step, each footfall like a beat of a drum, radiating an overwhelming pressure.
Up close, he saw her fair face. A rosy flush spread over her milky cheeks. It seemed she had seen something rather unsuitable for children.
“What did you see?” he asked, his deep voice brimming with masculine allure.
As if startled, the woman snapped back to reality. Her face turned crimson, but her eyes blazed with anger. “Yun Jiu, you lecher!” she scolded, making it even clearer what she had just seen.
His brows arched. A wicked smile appeared on his sharply defined face. “What did I do?”
The woman froze, then sprang to her feet and abandoned her beloved wheelchair as she walked away.
The man watched her retreating figure, his wicked smile never fading. Whatever she had seen was sure to happen soon. He had long entertained countless ideas, but none thrilled him as much as her confirmation. It seemed she was about to truly become his woman!
One man and one woman, both strong, devoted pampering, no angst. Come on in~~
