The Laid-Back One Refuses to Be Empress

A lazy, money-loving little beauty who lounges around when there's nothing to do but explodes with fighting power when needed X an emperor whose most outstanding qualities are his cunning, good looks, ruthlessness, and superb acting skills

[Light groveling and pursuit of the wife]

Shi Wanyun transmigrated into a scheming romance novel as a foolish supporting female character, the wife of the future emperor, who was then the chancellor living incognito among the people. Before long, she was supposed to elope with a poor scholar, who would later sell her to a brothel to pawn her for money.

Shi Wanyun: “...Absolutely not.”

On their wedding night:

Her handsome, icy, and nominal husband: “Aside from sharing a bed, I'll give you all the dignity and respect you deserve. Don't expect...”

Shi Wanyun: “Three thousand taels.”

Her nominal husband: “What?”

Shi Wanyun: “Don't expect me to give you my heart or my body. My annual living expenses are three thousand taels. Housekeeping, pretending to be in love, taking concubines, and so on will cost extra depending on the workload. Outside the estate, we're a perfect couple. Inside, we each do as we please.”

Her nominal husband: “...Deal.”

Two years later, her nominal husband stormed the imperial palace.

Shi Wanyun dragged out the travel bundle she'd prepared long ago, hired several of the most capable and handsome guards, and set off on an excited trip.

Three days later... she was cornered at a post station.

Also there was her nominal husband, who had galloped over with his sword stained with blood: Gu Shanqing, the former chancellor of Great Chu, now the former Crown Prince's grandson and His Majesty the Emperor of Great Chu, Chu Kuang.

Shi Wanyun, who had secretly stashed away 2,800 taels while managing the household: ...What a cheapskate. This man is impossible to deal with.

But her nominal husband lowered his eyes to look at her, his gaze as tender as ever. “I have come to welcome the empress into the palace. From this day forward, everything under heaven is yours to use as you wish. And so am I.”
