The Third Prince's Poisonous Little Consort

On our wedding night, I nearly poisoned the Third Prince to death in the bridal chamber.

It wasn't that I wanted to kill my husband. The nuptial wine at his residence smelled sour, so I added a little medicinal powder to kill the germs. Who knew His Highness the prince would be allergic to realgar? After he finished throwing up and changed his clothes, he pinned me over the edge of the bed and gave my backside a good spanking.

My name is Su Xiaotang, a wild girl from the South Lane medicine shop. The Third Prince, Shen Huaidu, is an unpopular, cold-faced tyrant. Everyone in the capital says he married me because the Crown Prince foisted a castoff on him, and he really does keep me on a tight leash. I get beaten for stealing medicinal ingredients to make pills and burning down a side building, for slipping itching powder to the Crown Prince’s spies, and even more for sneaking into the mountains alone to gather herbs. Only later did I learn I had a rare, long-lost constitution called the Heavenly Fragrance Body: I was immune to every poison, and the liquid extracted from my body could be used as medicine to save lives. With this constitution, if I kept my virginity, I could save more people when the time came. So he shared my bed every night, yet always held back and never touched me.

It took me half my life to go from a fake medicine shop in South Lane to the Golden Throne Hall. He beat me for half my life, and protected me for half my life, too. In the end, he finally took the throne, and I was finally able to stand by his side, not as the Third Princess Consort, but as Su Xiaotang.
