Synopsis

My mother, who always insisted on having her way, and Consort Zhang next door became pregnant at the same time. Consort Zhang gave birth to a big baby boy, so I became a “big baby boy” too.

I spent eighteen years as a prince while pretending to be a boy. To keep my secret identity from being exposed, I usually kept a low profile.

My brothers put on a “Nine Dragons Contesting for the Throne” to fight over succession, so I gave up and decided to coast through life.

Who knew that when my father died, his final decree would name me emperor?

Me: ???

Come on, I'm just a lazy prince who wants to eat, wait to die, and do nothing. I mean, princess!

The court is full of conspiracies, and the empire faces internal and external threats. Besides the remnants of several princes' factions, there's also the ambitious Regent, who wields power across the court and is ready to rebel at any moment.

Everyone thinks I won't live to see the next sunrise. But after being forced into the imperial robes, all I want is to stay alive!

So, while everyone assumes the Regent hates me and will surely kill me, I secretly summon him and tug at his sleeve.

“My dear subject, I... I need you!”

The Regent: ???

Quan Jiuzhou always thought the Ninth Prince was useless, a waste of such a handsome face.

When the little loser learned he had to ascend the throne, he was so scared of dying that he clung to Quan Jiuzhou's leg and sobbed. He looked so easy to bully.

But even though they agreed that Quan Jiuzhou would be in charge and the little loser would follow, why did Quan Jiuzhou always end up being led around by the nose?

Then the little loser started looking at him differently, acting all cute and sweet.

He laughed. “Why are you acting like a little girl?” Then he froze.

I love Zhouzhou so much!!! I really, really love him. He's the only male lead in all the novels I've read who has truly won my heart. While reading, I kept thinking how cute and charming he is, and I'm totally smitten 😍. The author is also amazing; they portrayed the male and female leads so well. Personally, I think the male lead is even better, and I like him even more. Finally, best of luck to the author!!!

I've been reading this book for a long time, reading as many chapters as I go, enjoying it immensely. The plot is perfect, the story is very tight, the development is very reasonable, and the relationship between the male and female leads is very rich. All the couples are so sweet and I love it! 🥰🥰🥰🥰💕💕💕💕 I really enjoyed shipping them!

Hehe, the new cat book is finally here! It looks great as always! I mean, this book seems to have a bit of a comedic element, haha~ I absolutely love the "white-faced but cunning" and "old fox" trope! Jiang Yunxi vs Quan Jiuzhou

This story features a rare pair of virgins, a wise empress and her male consort. I don't read many stories like this; most of them are just stories with an empress as the main character, but in reality, it's a male-dominated system where men rule and do the work, highlighting the male lead's abilities.

The story is fresh and original, using humorous language to tell thrilling tales, making it very entertaining. It blends romance with national themes, offering a grander scope. The male lead is like a puppy in front of the female lead, devoted to her for life and a strong support for her. The female lead is like a cunning fox with hidden layers. Each of the subplots also has a happy ending!
