The Treacherous Minister's Theatrical Wife

Fang Yingying transmigrates into a political scheming novel. At first, the male lead is down on his luck and hides his true feelings. Later, he helps a prince take the throne and becomes a vicious minister who takes revenge for every slight and treats human lives as worthless.

She is the cannon-fodder woman who got engaged to him when he was down on his luck, then broke off the engagement.

To avoid his revenge and cling to a powerful ally, Fang Yingying declares firmly, "I'll marry him!"

Master Fang: "Didn't you say you'd rather die than marry him?"

Fang Yingying: "You heard wrong. I said I'd rather die than not marry him. Father, can we arrange the wedding as soon as possible?"

Shen Qian looks at the fawning woman before him and says coldly, "If you want to live, stay away from me."

Fang Yingying looks obedient. "All right, hus... Should I not call you darling either?"

Shen Qian: "Mm."

Fang Yingying pretends to be disappointed. "Does that mean you won't come back to our room to sleep anymore? I understand. You don't like me, and a forced melon isn't sweet."

Shen Qian: "Good that you understand."

Later...

A forced melon really is sweet!

Little skit:

The emperor is fond of Shen Qian and sends a beauty to his residence as a gift.

Fang Yingying doesn't want to get involved in a household battle, so she tells the beauty, "My lord only has eyes for me. He holds me in his arms every night as we fall asleep. He loves my body and my heart. Whenever another woman approaches him, he... You know."

The beauty leaves that very day.

Not long after, the emperor sends a handsome man as a gift.

Fang Yingying stares at the beautiful ancient man, eyes shining. "My lord isn't into men. Why don't you be with me instead? My lord is jealous and possessive, but I'll stand by you through life and death. This beautiful encounter shouldn't go to waste."

That night, Shen Qian pinches Fang Yingying's cheeks, smiling without warmth. "He holds you in his arms every night? He's jealous and possessive? And then you want to stand by someone else through life and death? Hmm?"

Fang Yingying stays calm in the face of danger. "My lord really is all-knowing, but please calm down first and let me explain."

Shen Qian gives her a chilling smile. "I just want to shut you up."
