[A stunning princess + four young masters + lighthearted palace and household intrigue + not historically accurate, but draws on some Tang dynasty customs + a cast of handsome men and beautiful women. Light and humorous at first, with a major twist in Nan Xian's growth later on!]
The fifteenth emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty had nine children, but only one daughter. She was named Sikong Nanxian, and everyone called her Third Highness.
Given a new lease on life, Nanxian only wants to slack off.
She wants to eat all the delicacies she missed in her previous life, enjoy all the comforts she never had, and kiss all the men she never got close to!
Even the System enjoys the good life and slacks off with her, going so far as to point out the flaws in the young men around her.
Nanxian says, “I'm not asking you to pick a husband. Why are you being so picky?”
Back in the capital, Sikong Nanxian is either striking up a conversation with the Xie family's young master or attracting the attention of the Shen family's young master. She is either deliberately getting close to the Xue family's young master or running into the Cui family's young master by chance.
The people of the capital place bets, wondering which young master Third Highness will choose as her husband.
Xie Sui: “As long as Your Highness is happy, I'm happy.”
Shen Ao: “Sister, that's not enough.”
Xue Fang: “Hah. What a heartless woman, pulling up her skirt and pretending she doesn't know me.”
Cui Ya: “Mm, whatever Your Highness says.”
Sikong Nanxian: “Only children have to choose. I want them all!”
But then a palace coup takes place, and Nanxian unexpectedly learns the truth behind her mother's death. In the bitter wind, withered trees sway, and the fate of the Great Xia Dynasty remains unknown...
