1644: The Empress Is Too Delicate to Fend for Herself

After transmigrating into the body of a princess at the end of the Ming dynasty, she decided to act just a little “fragile.” The moment Zhu Meichuo opened her eyes, she had become Princess Changping, the last princess of the Ming dynasty. The history books said: Her father would hang himself, her arm would be chopped off, and the Ming dynasty would fall. Her modern soul had one thing to say: “I’m not following this script!” With the capital on the verge of falling, she “weakly” clutched Chongzhen’s sleeve, eyes brimming with tears. “Father, why don’t we head south?” In secret, though, she knocked out the head of the guards with a chop to the neck, bundled up the emperor, and ran. Other people relied on strength to flee. She relied on “acting.” Faced with a rebellious grandfather, a brutal general with an army of his own, and slippery officials, all she had to do was go pale, let tears glimmer in her eyes, and softly ask, “You... wouldn’t hurt Meichuo, would you?” Her “too frail to care for herself” skill activated! The traitors were pricked by their consciences, the generals inexplicably felt awe, and one by one they competed to be her protectors, obeying every command. They had no idea that this princess, who looked as if a gust of wind could knock her over, was strong enough to “accidentally” crush a teacup, and had strategies in her head that could overturn the age. From the terror at Tianjin Port to the bloody battles on the journey south, she played the helpless girl with her left hand while laying grand plans with her right. She sidelined her father, won over famous generals, and played the many factions of Li Zicheng and the Manchus against one another. Everyone thought she was a porcelain doll in need of protection, never realizing they were bowing at her feet on the imperial road she had paved. “This palace is frail and cannot bear the sight of blood.” She leaned against the dragon throne and coughed softly. Below her, envoys from every land came to pay tribute, while ranks of iron-clad soldiers stood at attention. Watch the weakest princess in history as she coughs up blood while restoring her broken land, This book flopped.
