A charming young princess × a poker-faced crown prince who's warm-hearted and skilled in political intrigue
No harem drama, a heaven-blessed heroine, a power couple. The heroine has her own ambitions, and the hero has his own political path. Told in first person.
Xu Shuangyue is the legitimate daughter of Duke Xu, the younger sister of Earl Jing'an, and the niece of Noble Consort Zhao. Every one of her titles carries weight. She should have enjoyed a peaceful, prosperous life, until she met Crown Prince Zhou Lingxiao. She never longed for love, but under Zhou Lingxiao's relentless pursuit, she married into the Eastern Palace. She imagined all sorts of possible fates for herself, then realized that whether she acted timidly or threw her weight around in the Eastern Palace, every ending led to her death. The Xu family would be wiped out because its achievements overshadowed the throne, and the royal family would destroy them once they were no longer useful. But she never expected this crown prince to refuse to play by the rules, damn it. Welcome to the story of King You of Zhou (crossed out) setting beacon fires for Bao Si (Xu Shuangyue: I'm not Bao Si) to fool the feudal lords (don't get carried away).
(Theme: I don't want to climb to the heights and find myself alone in the cold. I just want to reach the heavens and bring the moon back with me.)
Xu Shuangyue: "I just want to work hard in the first half of my life, then wait for my father and brothers to give up their military power and retire to the countryside."
Zhou Lingxiao: "Impossible. I've chosen you as my crown princess. The rest of your life can only be spent in the imperial palace."
