The Weeping Moon: The Moon That Sheds Vermilion Tears
Linyue, an emotionally stunted cultivator with a talent for logic (and attracting disasters), volunteers to become the substitute bride for the fearsome King of Shulin, Shu Mingye—replacing the runaway Second Princess. For reasons known only to her (and maybe the heavens).
Fortunately (or perhaps very unfortunately), she doesn’t come alone.
Accompanied by her three loud, chaotic companions who specializes in finding trouble, inventing trouble and loudly denying they caused the trouble, Linyue heads south to Shulin. What should have been a straightforward political marriage quickly spirals into misadventures, bad decisions, and accidental heroism.
From encountering supposedly extinct divine beast, surviving demon attacks, chasing legendary (or possibly imaginary) herbs, accidentally uncovering dark secrets beneath an innocent-looking doll shop, hunting the cure for a mysterious disease, to uncovering the mystery behind the calamity like disaster—all while man handling terrifying and fearful yet emotionally fragile King of Shulin.
Shu Mingye: “I told you I would chain you to the bed. Remember?”
Linyue: “You said that when you were sleepy.”
Shu Mingye: "I'm not sleepy and I never joke."
Shen Zhenyu: “I’m not hearing this. I’m injured. My ears are broken.”
Song Meiyu: "Is that how he flirts with her?"
Linyue: “It must be the soup. The soup spilled on him. It got into his clothes. Messed with his brain. I think... I think he even flirted with Brother Zhenyu.”
Shen Zhenyu: "Let’s see if she survives this.”
He Yuying: "She's dead. Chain incoming."
As danger closes in, buried secrets rise, and Linyue finds herself caught between duty, desire, and the past she thought she buried—she begins to wonder:
Is she still pretending to be the princess… or has she already become the Queen of Shulin?
