The Grand Princess Yun Zhao's Battle for Suitors
Yun Zhao, the exiled Grand Princess of a fallen kingdom, is cast aside from the very start and becomes the laughingstock of the entire capital.
Her former fiancé watches coldly from the sidelines, her adoptive marquis father treats her like garbage, and the real daughter even wants to take away her last refuge.
Yun Zhao smiles.
She tears up the divorce papers in front of everyone. "Read it carefully. I am the one divorcing you."
Then she opens the doors of Zhaoxin Pavilion, offering remedies for every romantic dilemma: emotional support comes at a price, sincerity goes to the highest bidder, and men are nothing more than valuable assets.
And so, everything changes:
- The Northern Garrison General stands guard in the rain outside her door, just to get another look at her. "Can I... pay to extend my shift?"
- The Regent offers the deed to an iron mine to buy a lesson in sincerity. "Everything I own can be put up as collateral."
- The enemy nation's God of War presents a surrender agreement and applies to be her personal bodyguard. "Just feed me and give me a place to sleep."
- The aloof Imperial Preceptor defies fate and changes her fortune. "Today's reading: Lady Zhao is in a good mood."
- The richest man in the land hands over his business empire. "Zhaoxin Pavilion, when are you going public?"
From the Marquis's embroidery shop to trading houses across the seas, she won't clear her name, forgive anyone, or lose her head over love.
Until the Empress Dowager flies into a rage and tries to cast her into the abyss...
But Yun Zhao produces the late emperor's secret edict and asks the assembled court officials with a smile:
"The throne you're fighting over is a game I've already outgrown."
"Now, do you understand the rules?"
