The Princess Consort Doesn’t Want to Be Empress

Hardworking Jiang Chuyu, a wage slave who likes slacking off whenever she can, accidentally transmigrates into a novel and becomes the consort of the cold and aloof Prince Xiao Jingnian.

System: You are dead. If you want to be reborn, you have to win Xiao Jingnian over.

Jiang Chuyu: I don't want to be reborn, and I'm not winning him over. I'm his consort, and I'm going to live the life of a rich person.

System: If you don't pursue him, what happens to my performance review? Absolutely not! The prince and his consort have to stick together!

Who wants to do quests? I want to be rich. I'll grab my dowry and get out of here!

Xiao Jingnian, who married Jiang Chuyu for political power at court, is shocked every day: Why is the consort so vulgar? Why is she visiting a brothel? Why is she climbing onto the roof? Why has she jumped into the lake again and again?!

"Xiao Jingnian, you walking relic of feudalism!" Unable to bear the prince's oppression, Jiang Chuyu tries to run away every day.

She never meant for anything to bloom, but somehow it does. They bicker every day, so why does Xiao Jingnian's affection keep going up?

Xiao Jingnian takes her hand. "My consort, I will protect you for the rest of your life."

Jiang Chuyu: !!! Is he giving up on the original heroine?

Xiao Jingnian kisses her forehead. "My consort, the prince's residence needs a young heir."

Jiang Chuyu: !!! What, does he want her to have his baby?

Xiao Jingnian: "My consort, one day I will make you the most honored woman in the realm."

No, she can't fall for him! Xiao Jingnian might become emperor, but she's hardly cut out to be empress.

Xiao Jingnian closes in on her one step at a time, and she can't hold out any longer! Should she run away and live free, or become the most exalted empress?

Sweet at first, angsty later, with palace intrigue and political scheming throughout
