   Shen Qingxian transmigrated into a tragic novel, becoming a cannon fodder female supporting character who married the Regent. On her wedding day, she was used by her entire family as a stepping stone to climb the social ladder, stuffed into a bridal sedan chair and sent to the Prince's mansion. All the noble ladies in the capital were waiting to see her make a fool of herself, after all, everyone knew—Regent Pei Changyuan already had someone else in his heart, and marrying her was merely to appease the Empress Dowager's decree. On their wedding night, the red candles burned brightly. Pei Changyuan lifted his veil, coldly uttering, "I married you to give the Empress Dowager an explanation. If you behave yourself, the Prince's mansion will not mistreat you. If you dare to covet things you shouldn't, don't blame me for disregarding our marital bond." Shen Qingxian obediently nodded, her heart unmoved, even feeling a little like laughing.

He stood at a distance watching, his anger simmering. Finally, one day, he went over and pushed those people aside: "What are you looking at? That's my wife."
