After her father abandoned her in a nunnery for ten years, she returned home disfigured and pretending to be a fool, only to discover that her family had vanished and her wicked father's mistress had become the lady of the house.

Her scumbag father promptly packed her off to marry a sickly young master and bring him good fortune. On the way, she ran into a god-slayer.

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

She saved him instead, never expecting him to set his sights on her.

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

From then on, he haunted her like a vengeful spirit, using her younger brother's life to force her to be his pawn. Then, for the sake of his love for men, he married her and made her his shield.

The whole capital was baffled: the dignified prince had been bewitched, and his princess had a secret trick!

The ugly princess was always mooning over the prince and getting roasted in the capital's gossip headlines.

She deliberately leaned her "hornet-stung face" toward him and simpered, "Husband, kiss me, hug me, and lift me up high."

His ears turned red as he frowned and pushed her away. "Get lost! Your ugly face is an eyesore." Yet he turned around, pinned her against the wall, gripped her chin, and gritted out, "I've fallen for you, so you have to take responsibility."

Inner thoughts: His heart had already betrayed him and leaned toward her, but returning to his original world remained his obsession.

She was about to tear off her mask and give everyone a face-slapping when he caught her hand. "Don't take it off. I've gotten used to it."

Inner thoughts: I'm so worried. The princess is too beautiful. What if other people set their sights on her?

Until one day, he awoke from a long sleep.

She raised an eyebrow. "Didn't the prince want to return to his original world?"

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

Haha, she immediately wriggled around on the bed like a maggot.

A revenge-seeking woman, a master of medicine and poison who plays the pig to eat the tiger, versus a transmigrated political mastermind with a broken System. In this partnership where they use each other as pawns, who will fall in love first?
