[Beautiful, radiant, and arrogant illegitimate daughter X Sharp-tongued, soft-hearted, scheming prince]
Yun Xi is stunning and confident, and all she wants is to become empress.
To play it safe, she flirts with two princes at once, keeping one foot in each boat so she can choose whichever one becomes emperor.
After the crown prince is named heir, she reluctantly agrees to become his crown princess and refuses to follow Prince Yan to his fief.
Only after entering the Eastern Palace does she discover that the crown prince's devoted persona is all an act. He has two concubines, and one of them looks a lot like her.
After a long, winding road, she finally reaches the empress's coronation ceremony, only for the Prince Yan she dumped to return.
Dressed in imperial robes, Prince Yan orders her to take off her empress's ceremonial robes in front of all the ministers.
Lu Xingchen pins her to the tiles of the great hall. “Do you admit you were wrong?”
“I did nothing wrong!”
A storm of passion sweeps over her, and she can't hold out. “I was wrong! I was wrong!”
Yun Xi: “What rank are you planning to give me?”
Lu Xingchen: “How about making you empress?”
Yun Xi: “As long as Your Majesty stops wearing me out every night, I'm willing.”
Lu Xingchen: “Keep dreaming. You'll be my personal palace maid!”
Lu Xingchen: “Please, Xixi, won't you be my empress?”
Yun Xi: “We'll see how I feel.”
This is a shameless story with hardly any plot. The heroine is arrogant and a little crazy, with a rather unusual way of thinking. Neither lead is perfect, and they are each other's only partners.
I hope it can be made into a short drama
