Original title: Claiming the Realm: The Reluctant Slacker Is Forced to Compete
Sweet romance + Slacker heroine + Untouchable beauty + Alternate history + Marriage first, love later
Su Xian is an oddball among the noblewomen of the capital. While everyone else competes to outshine one another, she prefers sunbathing, petting cats, and snacking on sunflower seeds. Her mother died young, her father never cared for her, and she was left to her own devices. As a result, she developed a thoroughly lazy disposition. Her life's ambition: eat, sleep, and lie flat in peace.
But fate has other plans. A decree of marriage makes her the Princess Consort of Prince Jing.
Xiao Jingyan, the third prince of the Dayin dynasty, appears to be a cold, carefree prince with no worldly desires. In truth, he is an ambitious contender for the throne, with unmatched strategic cunning. Deeply calculating and treating all things as pieces on a chessboard, he nevertheless makes an exception for his "eat, sleep, and do nothing" consort, indulging her at every turn.
They thought they could barely stand one another. Who knew even a slacker could be forced to get to work?
When the storm of succession hits, Su Xian discovers that she has become the prince's strongest "soft armor."
He plans every move; she pours tea and serves snacks.
He treads carefully at every turn; she lies back and wins, resolving each crisis.
Xiao Jingyan gazes at her with deep eyes. "Princess Consort, who are you, really?"
Su Xian yawns and smiles lazily. "Just what you see: a slacker who wants to retire."
Watch as the slacker princess consort uses her philosophy of winning while lying back to help the ice-cold prince claim the realm, and, along the way, steal the heart of an untouchable beauty!
