A Political Marriage to Bring Good Fortune? I Keep the Sickly Prince's Household Afloat with My Sarcasm

After she transmigrates, Yun Lele, a professional online critic, becomes a princess sent to marry the Jing Prince as a good-luck bride. He is rumored to have little time left, to be violent, and to bring death to his wives.

On their wedding night, she faces her sickly husband, deathly pale and coughing up blood, when a ding sounds in her head:

[Strong urge to roast detected. Host, the “Rant Your Way to Godhood” System has successfully bound itself to you! Roast one person to gain a day of life; make ten people cry with anger and trade it for a divine pill!]

Yun Lele: “...Wait, that’s actually a thing?”

And so, life in the prince’s manor takes a sharp turn.

A scheming concubine acts all delicate as she provokes her? Yun Lele fires back with a dose of cutting sarcasm: “With a figure like yours, the slightest breeze could knock you over. Did you do so much good in your past life that you couldn’t afford a skeleton reinforced with concrete?”

A sharp-tongued royal relative publicly gives her a hard time? She rolls her eyes and lets loose: “At your age, you’re still worrying about me. Afraid I’ll eat the Jing Prince’s household out of house and home and ruin your chance to come feast?”

At court, corrupt officials hold sway and the emperor is incompetent.

Yun Lele rolls up her sleeves and starts cursing, from the ancestral temples and the state to the feng shui of the imperial harem. She leaves the officials questioning their lives and has foreign envoys fleeing overnight as if carrying a whole train on their backs.

To everyone’s horror, the Jing Prince, who had been sick enough to die, grows stronger and more powerful with every day of her nonstop rants.

Until one day, the Jing Prince draws her into his arms, his eyes full of possessive affection. “Lele, those old fools at court were far too idle today. Go give them another tongue-lashing. This prince... would like to live a few more years.”

Yun Lele: “Pay up! I want extra!”
