I Play Dumb, You Play Foolish: The Scheming Minister Willingly Bows

[Faithful to Each Other] [Household Rivalry and Political Scheming] [Each Other's Pawns] [Clear-Eyed Leads] [Satisfying Read]

Her own father dumped her in a nunnery for ten years. Disfigured and pretending to be a fool, she returned home to find her family had vanished and her father's wicked mistress installed as the lady of the house.

Her scumbag father packed her off to marry a sickly man as a good-luck bride. On the way, she ran into a godslayer.

What? If the sickly man dies, she'll have to be buried with him?

She saved him instead, only to find herself under his watchful eye.

One day, he held his sword tip to her throat. "If you can't cure my son, you'll be buried with him!"

From then on, he haunted her. He used her younger brother's life to force her to be his pawn, then married her as a shield for his own affair with a man.

The entire capital was baffled: The refined prince must be under a spell, and the princess has a special talent!

The ugly princess stared adoringly at the prince every day and ended up a laughingstock across the capital.

She deliberately brought her "wasp face" close to him, playing the lovestruck wife. "Darling, kiss me, hug me, and lift me up high."

His ears turned red as he frowned and pushed her away. "Get lost! Your face is so ugly, it hurts my eyes." Yet he turned around, pinned her against the wall, gripped her chin, and ground out, "I've fallen for you. You're responsible for me now."

Inner thoughts: His heart had already strayed beyond his control, but returning to his original world remained an obsession.

She went to pull off her mask and show everyone what they had missed, but he held her hand down. "Don't take it off. I'm used to seeing you this way."

Inner thoughts: I'm scared. The princess is too beautiful. What if other people covet her?

Until one day, he woke from a long sleep.

She raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you want to return to your original world, Prince?"

He held her chin and smiled. "There's no you there."

Ha! She immediately writhed on the bed like a worm.

A revenge-seeking woman, a master of medicine and poison who plays the pig to eat the tiger, VS a transmigrated political schemer with a broken System. In this partnership where each is the other's pawn, who will fall first?
