The Cunning Consort and Her Jealous King

She was an old ghost who had drifted for who knew how many years, and after a thousand years of cultivation, she finally gained a physical body. She thought she could leave reincarnation behind and live freely. Little did she know... Gu Lingwu was the much-beloved late-born daughter of General Gu, a great general of the Ji Dynasty. From birth, the royal family had already chosen her as a bride for one of their own. But rumors said Gu Lingwu had been frail from birth. Though the entire general's household doted on her, no one had ever seen her true face. Ji Wenyi, the late emperor's youngest son, shared the same mother as the current emperor. Though he was neither a scholar nor a warrior, he lived a carefree life. Then an imperial edict arranged his marriage, throwing his carefree days into disarray. Ji Wenyi thought he was merely marrying a delicate young lady, helping his elder brother keep the military officials appeased. He never expected... Scene One: "Girl, why did you choose such a weak man to spend this life with?" asked a certain great demon, lazily swishing her tail as she spoke to the woman sunbathing by the window. "Weak?" The woman smiled languidly and replied in a calm voice. Scene Two: "My lord, the princess consort... the princess consort has disappeared again." A certain guard cautiously reported to his master. "Have you checked the Wenle House?" The prince gripped the book in his hand so tightly that veins stood out. "I've already sent people to look. There's no news yet, but... I heard the Wenle House recently hired a new entertainer who's especially talented at singing and dancing, so..." The guard watched his master vanish from the spot and couldn't help sighing to himself: My lord, you said you would hide your strength and live a quiet life. But ever since the princess consort came to the manor, she's nearly exposed everything you've got.
