Xiao Jinghong thought her disguise was flawless.
Until one night, drunk, she wandered into her Royal Uncle's bedchamber and he pinned her to the bed, kissing her until the corners of her eyes turned red.
“Royal Uncle... I have no interest in men.”
Shen Changyan leisurely tore open the cloth binding her chest. “Your Highness, I am no cut-sleeve either...”
Her Royal Uncle laid traps for her, killed for her, and seized power for her, moving carefully at every turn.
She had meant to watch from the sidelines, but each time he put himself in danger for her, her eyes grew red.
Until her disguise as a man was exposed:
“The law applies equally to princes and commoners. The Sixth Prince must die!”
He lopped off the speaker's head with one stroke. “To insult your superior is a capital offense!”
“The emperor has no heir. The throne should be passed to someone else.”
He took her hand. “A man can rule this realm, and so can a woman!”
Afterward, she shook her head again and again.
“Royal Uncle, I only want to be a useless prince. I don't want to be emperor.”
He said, “Then I'll stay by your side...”
It ended so suddenly [I almost cried], but it was still very interesting.
