Your Majesty, This Crown Princess Is Coveting You Again

Ling Zhao, crown princess of the Shenghua Dynasty, has two great passions in life: ruling the realm and winning over her consort, Pei Heng.

The first comes easily. The second... she has pursued him for ten years and still hasn't even brushed the hem of his robe.

After the former empress dies, Ling Zhao climbs onto the dragon throne and takes the crown. She thinks she can keep the man she loves locked by her side like a caged songbird, only to discover that this beautiful consort's heart holds neither a lost love nor his deceased wife, but the power of the entire Shenghua Dynasty!

Pei Heng: The new sovereign is young. I should assist in governing the realm.

Ling Zhao (starry-eyed): Why govern the realm? Just help me in bed!

Pei Heng (coldly): Your Majesty, please show some restraint.

Ling Zhao (locking the palace gates): What's restraint? Can you eat it? My consort, sleep with me and I'll let you play with all my military power~

Who could have guessed that this beauty, consumed by ambition, would turn on her afterward? Not only does he strip her of power, he also has her closest retainers executed as an offering to Heaven.

Ling Zhao is furious: Pei Heng, how dare you refuse to appreciate my kindness?

From then on, the unhinged empress is in full force, subjecting the once aloof consort to all manner of torment in Changle Palace:

She forces him to grind ink and brew tea, watching his proud spine bend;

She embraces others in front of him, watching him hide his jealousy;

She even grips his chin and demands, "A-Heng, is my love sweet?"

Pei Heng appears obedient, but secretly sharpens his blade: This madwoman will sooner or later kneel and call me husband.

So he lies low in the cold palace, laying his plans. When a palace coup finally comes, he imprisons the empress.

Pei Heng (playing with the imperial seal): Your Majesty, choose between the realm and me.

Ling Zhao (pouncing on him and tugging at his clothes): Only children have to choose. I want both!

[Please Note]: Not a female-dominated world. Unhinged crown princess x ambitious consort.

Happy ending guaranteed!
