Three Incense Sticks Before the Divine Hall

After saving silver for three years, I planned to buy myself a husband.

I pointed into the crowd and ended up buying the crown prince, who had been living among commoners.

At court, before the throne, the emperor asked me what I wanted.

Just as I was about to answer, rows of on-screen comments floated past my eyes:

[The villainess really seems to think the crown prince will still marry her as his principal wife.]

[She'd be better off marrying the emperor. In the end, if it weren't for him, no one would care whether the villainess lived or died.]

[At least it's better than being turned into a human-shaped ornament in the Eastern Palace.]

I shuddered and replied, "This common woman admires Your Majesty and is willing to serve by your side."
