I Don't Want Things to Be This Way Either

In the eighth month of the twenty-sixth year of the Daqi reign, Princess Su Yu, known as the Heavenly Maiden, is framed and falls into a lotus pond. When she wakes, she has forgotten her past. With no memory of what led up to the incident, there are no clues to the culprit either. The emperor, who dotes on his younger sister, orders the Censorate to investigate thoroughly, bringing to light a host of past deeds Su Yu would rather not acknowledge. She assumed that being a princess and revered as the Heavenly Maiden would make her a prized target, forcing her to stay on guard against everyone's advances. She never expected to be the one coveting other people. The prince's heir is exceptionally learned and widely read. He keeps manufacturing chances to “run into” him and ask for advice, day after day, much to the young man's distress. The Grand General Who Guards the Nation returns in triumph. Struck by his dashing appearance, she asks the emperor to let him teach her martial arts, then repeatedly gets handsy with him in public, leaving him utterly humiliated. The Chancellor's young son has been frail since childhood, and has taken more medicine than meals throughout his life. Whenever he meets her, she speaks without restraint and makes him so angry that after each encounter, the young man has to stay in bed for another ten days or half a month before he can get up. The hostage sent from Mocheng is so beautiful that the princess asks the emperor to let her keep him at her residence. Every day, his pleas and cries can be heard without end. With all these misdeeds laid out before her as irrefutable evidence, Su Yu wishes she could stay in bed and pretend she had never woken up.
