After Marrying the Villainous Prime Minister in My Brother’s Stead

The Gu family has a pair of dragon-phoenix twins. The elder brother, Gu Yan, is sickly and frail, raised in obscurity in Jiangnan, while the younger sister, Gu Que, takes his place to study at the Imperial Academy and even excels in the imperial examinations.

The Gu and Yan families arranged a childhood marriage pact, and the Prime Minister, Yan Luo, is her sister-in-law-to-be. Her family forces her to marry Yan Luo in her brother’s stead.

Before entering the bridal chamber, her parents repeatedly warn her: Do not take off your clothes when sleeping, and do not let Prime Minister Yan discover you’re a woman.

Gu Que is an online merchant from the 21st century who accidentally transmigrates into the Great Wei Dynasty, yet still has access to her Taobao store in her mind.

Prime Minister Yan sits on the bed, her skin like ice and jade, her slender hands delicate with distinct knuckles. Gu Que approaches and asks, “Your hands are beautiful—how about I give you a manicure?”

After the manicure, the usually aloof Prime Minister Yan has tiny tigers painted on her nails.

Later, to avoid undressing and consummating the marriage, Gu Que coaxes Prime Minister Yan with new tricks every night.

“Prime Minister Yan, would you like to wear a school uniform? Everyone wears them where I’m from. You have a great figure—you should try it.”

“Prime Minister Yan, the night is long—how about some milk tea?”

“Prime Minister Yan, the night is quiet—let’s share an ice cream.”
