In her previous life, Chu Zhuo was a tyrant, described in the history books as “heart-cutting and bloodthirsty, hated by Heaven and man alike.”
On the day she burned herself to death, the System said coldly: [Want to come back to life? Go be a three-year-old princess in an enemy kingdom!]
After she was reborn
She had to stand on tiptoe to reach the throne. Her baby-voiced insults were mistaken for coquettish whining, and she wasn’t even strong enough to lift the sword that would execute the treacherous ministers!
Even more absurdly, the regent who had personally conquered her kingdom was now crouching down to tie her cloak. “Princess, don’t eat too many candied hawthorns. You’ll get cavities.”
Chu Zhuo: “??? You weren’t this gentle when you chopped off My head!”
[Ding! Tyrant points +1]
[Your face got squished: Cuteness +10086]
[The entire court’s fatherly affection is growing increasingly warped]
Later, in the Golden Throne Hall
The three-and-a-half-year-old bundle of joy kicked over a stack of memorials. “There’s a flood in Jiangnan. The river commissioner should be executed!”
The ministers frantically fed her snacks. “The princess is right! But first, have a bite of hibiscus cake...”
Xie Jinglan picked up the little bundle as she grumbled and cursed. “I suggest we punish him another way.”
That night, the river commissioner was tickled on the soles of his feet until he cried himself unconscious.
