The Princess from Beyond the Palace Walls Is No Ordinary Girl

[Complete|No disappointing ending|All bonus chapters complete]

A New My Fair Princess fanfic with an ensemble cast. The original protagonists are not villainized, and everyone gets a happy ending.

If I see injustice, I step in!

Chubai rescues two young women who have come to the capital to search for their family. She goes a step further and risks traveling to the imperial hunting grounds to deliver a keepsake.

But then a stray arrow sends her straight back into the imperial palace.

As it turns out, she can’t leave even if she wants to!

Emperor Qianlong, the supreme ruler, gazes at her in shock and with the ecstatic joy of having found something he thought he’d lost.

What? She’s the biological daughter he’s been longing for for over a decade.

The loss of fourteen years is finally made right.

The girl who grew up among the common people becomes the apple of the emperor’s eye, cherished above all.

Rules and propriety? They all go out the window!

He spoils her, but with limits (he won’t indulge a spoiled brat!).

Chubai grows from a mischievous girl into a capable young woman, eventually taking up arms and forging her own path. (A true coming-of-age story.)

(A family-focused story. The Empress Dowager and the Empress are both good people!)

(Just to clear things up: there’s no abuse of the heroine! If the emperor-dad disciplining a bratty kid counts as that, then never mind! If that bothers you, feel free to drop the story.)
