The Ailing Consort's Lavish Favor

She is a renowned poison doctor in the martial world, and also the forgotten eldest daughter of the General of Zhenxi’s household. An imperial decree makes her a royal bride, earning her the envy of others. Another decree sends her groom off to the border to fight before the wedding sedan even arrives, making her “famous far and wide.” She likes a peaceful, comfortable life. The royal family’s murky waters aren’t for her, and all she wants is to escape this confinement. The return of Prince Rui sets a game in motion, its pieces seemingly arranged long ago. The prime minister’s daughter has her eye on him, and a princess from a neighboring state is to marry him. It turns out this man is quite the catch. But sorry, he’s mine. The man: “Love brings no long life. But once love stirs, it’s hard to break free. I’m willing to lose myself in it and endure the heart-corroding pain.” The woman: “I’m no saint. I know how to weigh the situation, and I won’t go looking for trouble. But if you provoke me, I’ll make you pay. Don’t ask what the price will be. You’ll find out when the time comes...” For him, she blooms with dazzling splendor, transforming magnificently. Whose eyes does she captivate, whose heart does she unsettle? For her, he endures the torment in his heart and loses himself in love. Whose heart does he wound, whose life does he make bitter? Who stirs up this peaceful age? Who will rule this contest for the world? “Honey, I’ve chased away all the admirers who were after you. I’ll deal with the swarm of admirers you’ve attracted.” A sinister smile curls the man’s lips. “She belongs to me alone. No matter how charming you are, she’s mine.” “Husband, there’s no need to trouble yourself...” The woman smiles as she reclines in the arms of a handsome man. “With a devoted fool like you who would do anything for me, what more could I ask for?” A chubby little boy bursts into the bedroom and shouts, “Daddy, Uncle Bug is here!” The man says, “Tell him to go home and raise bugs.” The woman: “...” A sweet-faced little girl rushes into the man’s arms, smiling brightly. “Daddy, Big-Beard Uncle is here!” The man picks up the little girl and tells the boy, “Tell him to go home and herd sheep.” The woman: “...” The little boy thinks to himself bitterly: Why do I always have to go, while my sister gets to be carried? I’m a little prince, but I’m treated like a servant. He glares at the man, then runs toward the door, shouting, “Uncle Bug! Uncle Beardy! I’m coming with you!” Everyone: “...” This is a story about a heroine who plays the fool while secretly holding all the cards.
