The Spoiled Noble Consort: So What If I Hit You?

[Palace intrigue + revenge + satisfying read + putting villains in their place + not an exclusive pairing]

Chu Qingyan, the legitimate third daughter of the Duke of Protecting the Nation’s household, is noble by birth and famous throughout the capital for her arrogance and flamboyance.

Her father is a founding hero, her mother the daughter of the Grand Preceptor, her elder sister the Empress, and her elder brother a great general who protects the nation. There is a saying in the capital: offend anyone you like, but never cross this little terror, or you’ll be lucky to escape with your life.

But fate is unpredictable. A vast conspiracy engulfs the Duke’s household, and the support she once relied on quietly begins to crumble.

In the year Chu Qingyan comes of age, she enters the palace to uncover the truth, vowing to restore justice to those who have been wronged. She does not yet know that the justice she seeks has already been left in ruins.

After years apart, one glance is enough to last a lifetime. Shen Xunmo is still captivated by her distinctive presence. Only after spending time with her does he learn that she knows when to advance and when to retreat, understands proper etiquette, and is considerate, nothing like the irredeemable villain of the rumors.

She is only a little spoiled, which is no big deal.

Whenever someone with ulterior motives schemes to frame her, Shen Xunmo simply brushes it off.

“The Noble Consort is used to getting her way. Just put up with her, and it’ll pass.”
