The Grand Princess Is Eighty, and Her Young Consort Hopes Every Day She'll Die

When the late emperor was fighting on the frontier, he adopted a girl as his goddaughter and named her Xiao Jinyao. After his death, the Grand Princess Xiao Jinyao was granted regent's authority and returned to the capital.

It was the first time the young emperor and his ministers had seen the undefeated Grand Princess. Who could have guessed that she would have the face of an eighty-year-old woman?

The news sent the traitorous prime minister and his faction into raptures. The prime minister even boasted, "An old woman and a child? The Kingdom of Jinchuan is mine for the taking!"

To achieve his aims, he went so far as to send his youngest illegitimate son, Zhao Jingheng, to the Grand Princess's residence as her consort, hoping to lull the military commander into a false sense of security. He also ordered his son to act as a spy and slowly poison the Grand Princess, waiting for a chance to kill her.

At first, Zhao Jingheng couldn't stand the old hag. He would rather die than go along with it. "I won't be her consort! You can beat me to death, but I won't do it!"

The prime minister said, "If you refuse, I'll have your mother executed!"

On their wedding night, when Zhao Jingheng saw the sagging, wrinkled skin on the Grand Princess's body, he couldn't help vomiting.

He thought the Grand Princess would kill him, but she didn't.

He showed no gratitude, though, and continued secretly poisoning her. Behind her back, he made no secret of his disgust.

That is, until the Grand Princess produced a precious medicine to save his mother.

He put out the lights and offered to consummate their marriage.

After that, their relationship began to thaw.

He kept courting death, and she kept indulging him.

When he saw his country in danger and his "old wife" heading to battle despite her illness, tears filled his eyes. He chose to throw away the last packet of poison.

When his deeds were exposed, his father beat him within an inch of his life. Then she returned on horseback.

At that moment, she was so young and beautiful. As he lay dying, he thought he must be dreaming.

Reborn with memories of both lives, he pinned her against the wall and said domineeringly, "My lady, have you had your fun?"
