Playing the Fool to Catch the Tiger + Two Strong, Devoted Leads + Political Intrigue + Happy Ending
Lin Baoxi, the “frail” legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue’s household, wheezes after every three steps and seems like a peace-loving, pitiable medicine addict. She looks like a lazy fish who can’t be bothered to move, but inside she is terrifyingly calculating. She lives by the motto, “I save my kindness for those who are kind to me,” and whenever she strikes, she goes for the kill.
Her rule for life is: if she can lie down, she won’t sit; if she can sit, she won’t stand.
In her previous life, she was a top political strategist who stirred up the entire court. Reborn in the womb, she only wanted to retire and enjoy a quiet life, but her abilities wouldn’t let her. With a photographic memory and a gift for reading people, she is a hidden player behind the scenes.
Gu Yi, Prince An, is an idle, wealthy royal. In truth, he is a black dragon quietly building up power to investigate the injustice surrounding his mother’s death. To outsiders, he is a dissolute prince who cares only for romance and pleasure and takes no interest in politics. In reality, he is shrewd, highly skilled in martial arts, and controls the economic lifeline of the Southern Kingdom.
He is devious and ruthless, but at home he is a devoted, jealous husband. At first, he thinks the heroine is “too frail to take care of herself.” Later, he discovers he was the real fool, and switches into “My beloved consort, please carry me to victory” mode.
This is a devoted-couple romance. He falls for her after seeing the brilliance beneath her disguise, and as they test each other and join forces against their enemies, they become each other’s strongest support.
“The princess needs a century-old ginseng root to replenish her energy.”
“The princess needs snow-mountain lingzhi to preserve her beauty.”
“The princess needs powdered East Sea pearls for her medicine.”
“The princess says that purple jade ice toad in the storeroom is just gathering dust. She likes how it looks and wants to take it out to play with.”
The steward reads the list to Prince An, aching at every costly item.
A hint of amusement crosses Gu Yi’s eyes. “If it makes her happy, she can empty the storeroom.”
As a chess player behind the scenes, after marrying into the palace, the princess must first clean up the personnel installed in the palace before she can prepare for the next step. She was not manipulated from the beginning. If it were so direct (ﾉﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ the ending would be great 🤭
It's not bad, I'll keep it for a while and then look at it I just finished reading Chapter 59, and the overall feeling is pretty good. Anyway, everyone has their own preferences for radish and green vegetables [Thoughts]
I don't know how to evaluate it~ Xi'er's past has not been explained. I don't know where she got so many connections and resources. She seems to be able to do anything. She is very strong.
