The Crown Princess

A carefree, laid-back heroine who does as she pleases × a hero with flashy tastes and questionable style They say being the crown prince of Nanhuai is the hardest job in the world. Mu Xilou spent five years at it, disguised as a man. Relieving famine and overturning wrongful verdicts never stopped her from galloping down the long streets. She was a master of time management and Nanhuai’s hardest worker, through and through. So when she faked her death, the brothers constantly criticized by the old emperor finally lost their patience and roared: “Those overachievers really deserve to die!!!” Five years after Mu Xilou faked her death, a horrific massacre of an entire household sent the martial world into a panic. That is, until one survivor escaped... then another... and another... Everyone: Wasn’t this supposed to be a massacre? Why does the bounty keep stacking up?! Which assassin did this? Avoid at all costs, avoid at all costs!!! Dragged into the mess against her will, Mu Xilou takes one look at her teammates and gets a headache. A zither player dressed like a peacock, a master thief who couldn’t get a word out if you kicked him three times, and a walking disaster machine with a completely unopened brain... Maybe they should leave this case to someone more capable. At their first meeting, all four sit around the table, staring at one another. No, this won’t do. I’ll have to fool Tang Yin! Only after surviving life-and-death trials together do they discover who their real enemy is. The world says: If it’s harder than reaching the heavens, then punch a hole through the sky! Fortunately, we’re all still young, all still brimming with ambition. We’ll carve our way forward with our blades, aiming for the clouds. A lighthearted martial-world ensemble with a touch of political intrigue. The blurb doesn’t do it justice, so please head to the story. “Morning bells and evening drums proclaim our hardships. What can be done to save all the people under heaven?”
