The Prince Consort May Be Blind, but He's No Fool

[Strong heroine + strong hero] [Marriage Before Love]

Shen Zhihe transmigrates into a book, with one piece of good news and one piece of bad news.

The good news: she’s a princess and can lie flat, enjoying a life of wealth and luxury, claim the man she loves as her prince consort, and keep countless male lovers.

The bad news: she’s a wicked supporting character who dies young and horribly, and whose kingdom is overthrown.

Well, can’t she just avoid marrying the original male lead?

So, on her wedding day, Shen Zhihe runs away and switches grooms, bringing the male and female leads together at last. She marries the male lead’s blind older brother instead.

To stay alive, she enters a marriage of convenience with her prince consort and curries favor with his future-rebel marquis family, showering them with gold, silver, and jewels. She even helps her mother-in-law keep her father-in-law firmly in hand.

To stay alive, she helps her prince consort become the Emperor’s Tutor and establish the Shuren Academy, where he welcomes good advice. She even foolishly saves his childhood sweetheart.

Shen Zhihe’s journey of self-preservation goes smoothly, but why does the male lead, who treated her like a wolf in the original story, seem to regret it? Why is he making advances toward her and volunteering to become her devoted servant?

Why has her prince consort stopped honoring their marriage contract and started wanting them to be a real married couple?

No, no! Before her prince consort’s eyesight is restored, Shen Zhihe writes him a divorce agreement, regains her freedom, and goes alone to the Di Kingdom to marry for peace. There, disguised as a man, she saves the people of the border city and gathers followers of her own.

Something’s not right. Why is her now-sighted ex-husband so kind to her when she’s dressed as a man? Why has he started acting out a substitute romance? Why does he sleep every night clutching her personal belongings? Why can’t he forget her?

Every day, Shen Zhihe asks herself why her ex-husband keeps getting more and more twisted.
