Regent, Get Lost! The Princess Consort Is Here

She woke up to find herself somehow lying in a pool. When they first met, he saved her life. But in her eyes, he was a scumbag. She had no idea she owed him a lifetime of love. She had no idea that, in time, he would love her to the depths of his soul. He indulged her. After encountering her soul, he was willing to fight the whole world for her, just to keep her safe for the rest of her life. In the study, she quietly ground the ink while he focused on affairs of state. Everything seemed peaceful and pleasant. But the truth was quite different. Her single remark, “How ugly,” completely shattered the quiet beauty of the morning. He raised an eyebrow, put down his brush, and pinched her chin. “Then tell me, whose handwriting is so bad it can't even compare with Zhang San or Wang Mazi's at the street corner?” “My lord, your handwriting is the most beautiful! It can rival Blind Chen's at the end of the street. Your writing beats his every time. Each character is as beautiful as an angel, and you are the greatest calligrapher ever. I admire you so much!” A huge turtle was soon drawn on her forehead. The corner of his mouth lifted. “I command you not to wipe it off until dusk.” “My lord, please pick up the dignity you dropped on the floor.” “Am I not dignified now? If you don't shut up, you won't be allowed to wash it off tomorrow, either. You can admire my masterpiece all you like.” Meanwhile, the person at the center of it all was already scowling. When he held his sword to her throat, she had never felt so utterly defeated. “I would give you the realm. What would it matter if I gave you the throne, too? I would stand behind you. I never minded being a dutiful wife and raising children. Why would you still treat me this way and betray me?” He met her with a cold gaze. “I never loved you, so I never betrayed you. And I never wanted the power you hold. I only want her by my side. Yet you kept trying to hurt the person I would give my life to protect. If she leaves me, then I would gladly turn against the whole world for her.” Hearing this, she snatched the sword from his hand and killed herself in the great hall. Perhaps death was the only way she could ever be free.
