The Crown Prince's Guilty Slave Won't Pretend Anymore

[Historical Romance, Strong Female Lead, Political Intrigue] [No Transmigration, No Rebirth, No Golden Finger]

Ten years ago, the mother of Chu Zhao, legitimate daughter of the Zhenbei Marquis General's household, was falsely accused of poisoning Noble Consort An and died by suicide, her name stained with injustice.

Ten years later, Chu Zhao assumed the name Lin Yun and infiltrated the Eastern Palace as a lowly maid, all to uncover the truth behind what happened.

She kept her head down and planned each move carefully, but soon crossed paths with two men:

Cang Li, the violent, dispirited Crown Prince who was pretending to be ill while biding his time, pinned her against a corridor pillar and murmured hoarsely, "Pretending to be a maid and deceiving me, is that fun?"

Cang Ming, the powerful First Prince who laid deadly traps at every turn, smiled as he took her side. "If I told you I could help you break off your engagement, would you?"

At a palace banquet, the Imperial Tutor's daughter produced the Fusang handkerchief that had been used to accuse Chu Zhao's mother of treason. In front of everyone, she demanded that this "lowly maid" be punished.

Chu Zhao stopped pretending.

She walked to the center of the main hall and declared each word clearly before the assembled court officials: "I, Chu Zhao, am Lin Yun."

The entire hall erupted in uproar.

Watch as this clear-eyed heroine tears away her disguise, clears her mother's name after ten years, and stirs up the affairs of four kingdoms!
