[Girl Disguised as a Boy x Character Growth x Male Lead x Feel-Good Story x Interstellar]
The Emperor’s Version:
After the death of the empire’s previous emperor, the Third Prince, Jun Yingnuo, who spends all day fighting, is forced to ascend the throne.
Jun Yingnuo: “???”
Once forced into the job, Jun Yingnuo wants nothing more than to wait until his illegitimate child comes of age and then abdicate as quickly as possible.
But then the child dies.
Jun Yingnuo: “???”
So Jun Yingnuo sets out to find an heir. His standards are low: they just have to stay alive.
By chance, Jun Yingnuo finds a child on a garbage planet who fits the bill and names her “Jun Li.”
But after he brings Jun Li back, Legion Commander Vickers immediately advises him, “It won’t be easy for a female emperor to ascend the throne. I hope you’ll reconsider.”
Jun Yingnuo, having mistaken her gender: “…A female emperor?”
Vickers: “???”
Jun Li, who is female: “???”
After that…
Jun Yingnuo, pretending to be calm: “Being a girl disguised as a boy is pretty good, too.”
Vickers, very slow on the uptake: “Could Your Highness have mistaken her gender?”
Jun Li, completely unaware: “How can I get stronger than my cheap old dad faster?”
The Heroine’s Version:
She grew up on a garbage planet and had no name.
One day, while being chased by a star beast, she spotted a sucker in a lavish military uniform, completely out of place in the planet’s surroundings.
She promptly made a clean getaway and led the star beast off in the other direction, leaving it for him to deal with.
But she never expected him to abduct her right after that, claim to be the emperor, name her “Jun Li,” and declare that he wanted her as his heir.
Jun Li: “???”
A human trafficker?
One day later…
Jun Li: “Wait, you’re actually the emperor?!”
So what is going on with this male protagonist? Could it be the one named Qiu or something? As the prince's bodyguard, why don't you practice hard and fish there? Still sitting and watching the show while the heroine was training exhaustingly. What? How about watching monkeys playing?
It's quite interesting [salute][salute]
