The Princess Just Wants to Be Ambitious!

[Historical romance + some political intrigue + transmigration + marriage before love + fleeing while pregnant + comeback + clear-headed heroine who never loses herself to romance]

The throne changed hands, her adoptive brother took power, and the fallen princess was sent away to marry.

She had heard that Qin Heng, the northern frontier's marquis, had won countless victories. His military achievements threatened the throne, he was ruthless, and he had no interest in women.

Xiao Yunzheng believed it.

But when the red veil was lifted on their wedding night, who was this ravenous man?

-

Several days into their marriage, Xiao Yunzheng and Qin Heng seemed to be a perfectly matched couple, newlyweds inseparable and devoted. In truth, each had their own agenda and their own side to take. One didn't trust the other's honeyed words; the other didn't trust their political loyalties.

So they simply made do, day by day.

That was, until Xiao Yunzheng became pregnant

-

The Great Sheng Dynasty had flourished for centuries, but by the reign of Emperor Changwen, the country was beset by internal and external crises and teetered on the brink of collapse. Worst of all, after years of trying, he had only one daughter and no other children.

Bitterly resentful, he had no choice but to heed the court's demands and appoint an heir to succeed him.

But he couldn't accept it!

And so a scheme took shape in his mind.

He turned his attention to the daughter he had never given a second glance. She was breathtakingly beautiful, a rare talent with great potential.

Then... why not have her give him a grandson?

-

Well versed in history, Xiao Yunzheng knew that few princesses in history had ever met a happy end.

As a daughter her father completely ignored, she would become a pitiful political pawn unless she made plans of her own. So she swore to carve out a path to survival for herself!

Was it really such a big deal to have a child?

She would take everything the old man had left for his grandson

As for the boy, he could drink his milk first!
