The Grand Princess Gu Ling has been in a foul mood lately.
Ever since she was young, she could read minds and see all the ugly, sordid thoughts people tried to hide. She had no desire to get tangled up in the troublesome business of romance.
But since she has no interest in love, she has reached an age when the officials at court keep urging her to marry. Her younger brother, now the emperor, drops hints nonstop. Men even try to scam her when she goes out, and when she gets home, she has to face several boxes of portraits of eligible bachelors.
Heavens, spare her!
Wouldn't it be nice to eat, drink, and have fun every day?
One day, she accompanied the emperor to court and happened to attend the palace examination for the imperial exams.
The top candidate was a brilliant scholar, brimming with lofty ambition! The second-place candidate was a silver-tongued schemer! And the third-place candidate... He seemed as gentle as jade on the outside, but had an entire drama playing out in his head.
[So this is the emperor from the book. When does he start his groveling pursuit of his wife?]
[That second-place candidate is no good. He'll become a corrupt official who takes bribes and embezzles later on!]
[The Grand Princess really is the most beautiful woman in the capital, but sadly, she's spoiled, unreasonable, and moody enough to scare people.]
The third-place candidate was thinking to himself when he glanced up and happened to meet the Grand Princess's eyes. He smiled gently, his bright eyes sparkling like stars.
[In half a month, the emperor will choose a consort for the Grand Princess. According to the plot, she's a ruthless woman who killed five husbands. This is going to be quite a show!]
The Grand Princess, Gu Ling, the husband-killer, slowly formed a question mark over her head.
[Good thing I already have a pregnant fiancee who cheated on me. That means I won't be considered for the position of consort.]
Gu Ling suddenly smiled. "Heh, very good. You've piqued my interest, man."
You will be my consort, and no one else!
A domineering Grand Princess who takes what she wants x a handsome consort who transmigrated into a book and loves to rant
