After transmigrating, Ye Yao finds herself a three-year-old princess in the imperial palace of Eastern Chu, and the least welcome one at that.
Her father is cold, her brothers keep their distance, and the palace is rife with undercurrents and danger.
But who is Ye Yao? She is the ruler of the underworld, the master of the nether realm who commands legions of ghosts!
What does she care about the so-called imperial throne or anyone’s schemes? To her, they’re nothing but childish games played by mortals.
All she wants is to lie low as a little princess, lazing around and waiting for life to pass her by. And, while she’s at it... teach a few disobedient subordinates a lesson.
And so, the atmosphere in the Eastern Chu palace changes overnight:
The crown prince thinks his little sister is a fragile baby who needs protecting. He has no idea that this seemingly harmless little girl has already decided to protect him. From then on, he becomes her number-one fan, tending to her every need and fearing his little ancestor might suffer even the slightest grievance.
Her father originally wanted to cast this eyesore aside. But when he discovers that his kingdom and even his health are in this little girl’s hands, he can only accept his fate as a devoted dad with tears in his eyes.
And what about those scheming ministers and powerful nobles, jumping around and causing trouble?
She yawns and lightly taps a finger. “Black and White Impermanence, drag that fool away and let him find out what it means to beg for life but be unable to live, and beg for death but be unable to die.”
In the next instant, ghostly winds howl as Ox-Head and Horse-Face appear, scaring the court officials out of their wits.
While other princesses study poetry and the classics, she researches how to improve the medicinal soup recipe for the Bridge of Helplessness.
While other princesses learn music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, she practices using talismans to blow up the enemy’s stables.
While other princesses dream of marrying their perfect match, she only wants to make the underworld’s performance figures hit new heights.
