Everyone knows that the empress of the Luan Kingdom has a third princess who's a medicine jar, so frail she can only sit in a wheelchair. She coughs and spits up blood from time to time, and even Lan Ling, the renowned physician famous throughout the realm, is helpless, lamenting that she has little time left.
They also say this frail third princess is incredibly beautiful, and alone could rival the looks of everyone in the imperial palace. Anyone who has seen her falls for her, lost in her deep, unfathomable eyes.
So when word spreads that the third princess is going to marry Gu Xi, the handsome but otherwise unremarkable legitimate son of Chancellor Gu, everyone wails in despair.
That shameless man must have hounded her into it!
Sure enough, in less than half a month, the newly appointed third imperial consort has firmly earned the titles of "scheming bastard" and "jealous husband." This infuriates the beauty-obsessed fans who are devoted to worshipping the princess's peerless looks, and soon the capital is full of people denouncing this "venomous, jealous husband."
Gu Xi: What? So which one of us was forced into this marriage?
When Gu Xi learns that his mother is about to sell him to the empress to bring good fortune to her sickly princess, he wants no part of it.
On the eve of the wedding, he thinks that even after he's married, he'll never let that medicine jar lay a finger on him. He'll just wait until she dies. His life shouldn't be too bad afterward. At worst, he'll spend the rest of his life as a widower.
But he doesn't know that the moment of truth is coming so fast, he'll be completely caught off guard.
A few months later, with his clothes half-off, he lies sideways on his wife's bed, eyes seductive as he beckons to his wife, who has just come in. "My wife, come play with me~"
Third Princess: ...Get lost.
Note: 1. This is a women-dominant world, and women can bear children.
2. The man suffers. The heroine is cunning and scummy, but smart.
3. The heroine is gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. She carries the beauty of the entire story on her own.
