[Aloof Chief Minister VS a princess who only pretends to be frail]
In one moment, Zhao Wuxi transmigrates and becomes the only princess of the Canglan Kingdom.
On the day she was born, seven-colored clouds filled the palace and a hundred birds sang in harmony. She became the most beloved person in the kingdom, and her foolish father, the Emperor, impulsively bestowed on her the title Princess Mingyang.
When Zhao Wuxi is ten, she asks to move out of the palace and establish her own residence. Her imperial father refuses: "Don't even think about it!"
So when the princess doesn't leave her room for three days, the people start gossiping and worrying about her.
"I heard the princess vomited blood..."
"Vomited blood? You're way behind. I heard she's on the verge of wasting away. My poor princess~"
In less than a day, the ministers are in court, crying, "Your Majesty! A sudden flood has swept away the cities in the northern frontier! Please, grant the princess's request."
From then on, Zhao Wuxi's reputation spreads far and wide. No one dares oppose anything she wants. From the Emperor to the common people, everyone watches over this frail princess, terrified she might so much as scrape her skin.
They all live in harmony until Zhao Wuxi turns fifteen and meets Xie Yi'an, the legitimate son of the Xie family of Chen Commandery, who has just placed first in the imperial examinations. Her eyes light up like gold.
Xie Yi'an: "Your Highness, there's no need to be so frail that you collapse onto my bed, is there?"
