[A sweet short story in the same series as The Divorce Papers? I'll Burn Them for You (Transmigrated into a Book)]
[Blurb One]
The author from before has started a new story. According to the blurb, Great Chu will fall in a year, and every member of the royal family will die for their country.
Huaining transmigrates into a book and discovers that she's the princess destined to see her country fall.
A few days later, she also realizes that her father doesn't love her, her mother doesn't care for her, and being a princess is truly miserable.
Huaining thinks it over and decides that, since things have come to this, she might as well do whatever she wants.
The imperial consort is a little white lotus? No problem. She can play the green tea act, too.
Prince Linqi won't stop pawing at her? No problem. A good beating will teach him to behave.
Meng Shi, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review... Hmm, she fought with him and now can't stand the sight of him. She'll take him down!
Later, she hears that the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review is rather vindictive. Huaining doesn't care. At worst, he'll dig her up and whip her a year from now.
But then the author tricks her. Great Chu doesn't fall, and she remains a perfectly fine princess.
A year later, on their wedding night, Meng Shi lifts her veil and says with a faint smile, "Princess, don't you think it's time we settled all the grudges we've built up over the past year?"
Huaining is on the verge of tears. She let her guard down and didn't dodge.
[Blurb Two]
Meng Shi, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, has been having a bit of trouble lately: the current princess, Yan Huaining, has set her sights on him.
It all started a few days ago, when Meng Shi and Yan Huaining got into a brutal fight. They fought until the sky turned dark, then wound up glaring at each other with bruised and swollen faces.
Huaining: Come on, let's go argue our case at the Court of Judicial Review.
Meng Shi: This subject is the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. Princess, please let me explain. It's all a misunderstanding.
Huaining: I don't care whether it's a misunderstanding. I'm going after you, and I'm not letting this go.
Meng Shi: ...
At the time, Meng Shi thought that whoever wanted to be her consort would need a tough fate and an exceptionally hard head.
He never imagined that the hardheaded one would be him.
Theme: Though high in the halls of power, care for the people below.
