The Side Character Pretends to Be Foolish and Breaks Off the Engagement, Then Tames a Powerful Minister

At the palace banquet, Shen Wu had only just awakened to memories of being a disposable character when she was forced to drink poisoned wine and sent off to be buried with the dead.

Her fiancé shielded the transmigrated woman and accused her, but Shen Wu spat blood in front of everyone and clung to the regent’s leg. “Cousin, A-Wu is scared.”

She was the notoriously troublesome princess who was infamous throughout the capital, and the delicate vine he had raised with his own hands.

To stay alive, she played the airheaded beauty for the regent while outmaneuvering everyone else: taking down palace consorts, exposing forged evidence, and reclaiming the phoenix seal.

Everyone expected her to be cast aside. Instead, the regent ended her engagement for her, the young emperor put her in charge of the palace, the enemy prince willingly became her devoted admirer, and the ruthless general came wielding a blade to snatch her away.

Four powerful men fought over her until the court ran red, while she secretly trained them to heel and seized power.

Only when the late emperor’s secret edict came to light did she discover the truth: she was no wicked supporting character, but the only person who could decide who would take the throne.
