Top agent Su Tang transmigrates into the body of a merchant’s daughter, publicly rejected by her scumbag fiancé and turned into the biggest joke in the capital.
With his arms around his white-lotus younger sister, the scumbag sneers. “Su Tang, you’re crude and ignorant. You’re not even fit to carry my shoes!”
The whole city points and stares, waiting to see her weep and wail.
But then a purple-and-gold sedan adorned with eight treasures stops before her. Xiao Jue, the regent who wields power over the court, is rumored to be frail, sickly, cruel, and bloodthirsty. He lifts the curtain, a sickly smile playing on his pale, handsome face. “Who are you to talk about my woman?”
A marriage contract is drawn up, and he forcibly claims his bride!
Everyone says Su Tang has entered a living tomb and will be nothing but a skeleton within three days.
But after the wedding...
A servant says, “Your Highness, the princess consort ate all the grapes from the Western Regions that you treasured!”
The sickly prince coughs twice without even lifting his eyelids. “Go get the luminous pearls from my private treasury. She can play marbles with them.”
A bodyguard says, “Your Highness, the princess consort broke the legs of that neighboring princess who provoked her!”
The possessive prince calmly wipes his dagger. “Does her hand hurt? Tell her next time she can just cut them off. I’ll take responsibility.”
Then one day, a million enemy troops reach the city walls. A woman in red faces a thousand soldiers alone, her sword sweeping all before her.
Everyone’s jaws drop. “Isn’t that the good-for-nothing princess consort from the Regent’s Manor, the one who does nothing but eat?!”
Xiao Jue climbs the city tower and gathers her blood-soaked figure into his arms. His voice is possessive yet indulgent. “Little liar, had enough fun? It’s time to come home with me.”
