I Became the Prime Minister's Long-Lost Love Who Died Young

[Coming soon: Daughter of a Convicted Minister. Please add it to your collection!]

From the moment Shen Si was born, she was doted on by her parents and surrounded by wealth. She had never suffered even the slightest grievance.

But just after turning fifteen, she was pushed into marrying the childhood betrothal her parents had arranged for her.

She had planned to fight it to the death. But after meeting the man and learning that his household was peaceful, she changed her mind and stopped making a fuss.

This man seemed like he might be good enough to settle for.

At least he was handsome, and she approved!

She'd thought married life would be carefree. Her husband had to take the imperial exams, and there were no parents-in-law at home, so surely she could do whatever she wanted?

But who could have guessed that her husband, who seemed indifferent to everything, would turn out to be such a nuisance?

After just a few days,

he wanted her to get up early and recite books with him,

he dragged her along when he went out to practice the lessons his tutor assigned,

and even made her exercise with him...

Shen Si flies into a rage and shoves the Four Books and Five Classics in his face. "Which one of us is taking the imperial exams, you or me?"

Cui Jiyuan lowers his book and answers with perfect seriousness: "Naturally, I am. But what can I do when my beloved wife at home is so beautiful? Of course I must stay by her side at all times."

Shen Si: Flattery won't make me say yes again!

Later, an illness makes Shen Si realize that she'd been a character in a book since the day she was born.

Her husband will eventually become a powerful chancellor who dominates the court, the ultimate overpowered protagonist.

And she is his first wife, who dies young, the thorn in the side and the thorn in the flesh of all the young ladies in the capital. Even after her death, rumors will accuse her of being scheming, of clinging to her position as his principal wife while she was alive, then manipulating Chancellor Cui into never taking another wife after she died. No wonder she died so young.

Shen Si is swept up in the story, then scoffs. Who told him to make that promise? He's the one who used her as a shield!

And wait, she's not long for this world?

But when she looks at her husband, lying just inches away on the pillow, she feels like something isn't right.

Oh no, she seems to have thrown the plot off course!
