Yun Ran was shaken awake.

She felt like she was in a moving carriage.

She opened her eyes in a daze and was almost blinded by the dazzling red light in front of her! Red clothes, red carpet, red sedan curtain…

Yun Ran was speechless.

Where was she? Where was she going? What was she doing?

She remembered that her Third Senior Brother had finally found the Nine Mile Mystic Mirror in Beiming after three years and sent a message back to the sect. Therefore, she disguised herself as a bandit and stopped him halfway. Before she could rob him, she heard a thunderclap above her head, and a golden light almost blinded her.

Then, there was no more…

So was she struck by lightning?

And died?

And on a red carriage to hell…

"May the bride step out of the carriage… "

Suddenly, a high voice floated into her ears. Yun Ran was in disbelief. A bride? Get married? Her?! Marry who?

Then two thick and elaborately dressed nannies rushed over, picked up the red gauze that had fallen to the ground, and violently covered Yun Ran's head. They carried her out without explanation.

If it were in the past, these two women would have been sent flying by Yun Ran. However, her body had been afflicted with a large amount of Soft Tendon Powder early in the morning. She felt dizzy and her legs were weak. She couldn't even stand steadily, let alone hit someone.

Yun Ran was carried all the way to the wedding hall by the two women. Like a puppet on a string, she was pressed down on her head and made to go through the customary rites. Just as she was about to bow to her husband, Yun Ran heard…

"Woof!"

That's right! It was barking! From the sound of it, the dog was half a step across from her.

Based on that position …

Was she going to marry a dog?

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and bow!"

An old woman came to press Yun Ran's head impatiently. Yun Ran tilted her head and the red veil slid off. She could clearly see the… exceptionally beautiful dog opposite her!

There wasn't a hint of color in the snow-white fur. There was a faint sheen to it. Yun Ran wanted to touch it. And those eyes. They were blue as lake water and beautiful.

It was a little like a fox and a little like a snow wolf. It was simply a top-grade dog!

The dog was carried by a handsome young man. He looked at Yun Ran disdainfully, as if to say, "His Highness is here. Come and kneel down!"

Yun Ran rolled its eyes back at it. She swore that she would make soup with it the dog looked at her again!

The groom, the Prince of Qin, Nangong Mo, actually found a dog to go through bridal rites. Was this something a human should do?

Yun Ran narrowed her beautiful eyes and glanced at everyone in the hall with a faint smile. "Wasn't I supposed to be married to the Prince of Qin? Where is he? Has he become a dog?"

The crowd was dead silent for a moment!

The Lady of Good Fortune was the first to come back to her senses and glared at Yun Ran. "Pfft! What nonsense are you talking about? Your Highness is fine. If there's anyone who's transforming into a dog, it's you! You're not allowed to be disrespectful to His Highness, the Prince of Qin!"

The butler of the prince's mansion stood up and explained, "Princess Consort, please don't blame me! Today, my prince suddenly fainted from an old illness and really can't pay his respects. However, we can't delay the auspicious day. I had no choice but to do this. I hope Princess Consort can understand."

The wretched prince fainted? Was that true?

"I understand. Of course, I understand. However…" Changing the topic, Yun Ran pointed at the dog in the young man's arms. Her lips curled into a cold smile. "Can this dog be used to make soup afterward?"

The dog said, "Woof!"

The butler raised a hand to wipe the cold sweat from his brow. "Princess Consort, I'm afraid that's not appropriate."

The woman immediately glared at her. "Do you actually want to make dog soup? Is that an ordinary dog? Huh? That dog is…" She was going to continue, "more expensive than you!"

Yun Ran interrupted her lazily. "That's true. He's not an ordinary dog. He's the Prince of Qin…"

"What did you say?"

The Lady of Good Fortune widened her eyes in anger and was about to scold Yun Ran when the latter fainted.

The crowd was instantly in an uproar. Everyone looked at the butler.

"What… what should we do?"

Before the ceremony, the groom fainted and did not turn up for the wedding. Halfway through the wedding ceremony, the bride also fainted. This marriage…

The butler raised his hand to the corner of his eye and waved at the minister. The minister immediately called out, "The marriage is done. Send the couple to the bridal chamber—"

… .

Windy Court

The effect of the Soft Tendon Powder had yet to wear off, so Yun Ran couldn't do anything. She simply lay on the bed and sorted out the memories in her mind.

Lin Wanyue was 17 years old. Her biological mother died when she was young. Her stepmother was vicious, and her scumbag father did not care about her. Her stepsisters bullied her at every turn. She was called the Eldest Mistress of the Minister's Mansion, but in fact, her life was worse than a dog's.
