[Modern woman in an ancient world + adored by everyone + strong heroine + matriarchy + daughter of Heaven's Will + no romance]
In her previous life, Nanrong Yuexi was the heiress of the Nanrong family. Determined to succeed without relying on her family's status, she made it all the way to becoming a professor of history at a top university through her own efforts, only to die of exhaustion on the day her research project was completed.
When she opened her eyes, she had become the fifth princess of the Great Yu imperial palace, an overlooked good-for-nothing with no power or influence.
After a lifetime of hard work, Yuexi immediately made up her mind: lie flat and let herself go, spend her days eating and drinking, stay out of all power struggles, and live out a quiet life!
But to her utter surprise, the more easygoing and laid-back she became, the more everyone around her fell for her, turning into possessive, overprotective fanatics:
Her mother, the empress, gazes at her with affection and insists on naming her the Crown Princess, destined to command the attention of all;
Her eldest royal sister, who commands the army, is so ambitious that she plans to launch a rebellion just to seize the throne and hand it over to Yuexi;
Her second royal sister, who rules the world's Medicine King Valley, insists on entrusting her with the entire position of Valley Master;
Her third royal sister, who leads the mysterious Assassins' Pavilion, declares that the whole shadow organization is at her fifth sister's command;
Her scheming fourth royal sister, the most calculating of them all, abandons every plot and wants only to personally raise and teach Yuexi at her side;
Her youngest sister, the sixth princess, becomes a devoted big-sister fan, making her elder sister her sole guiding principle in all things;
Even the imperial aunt, who has long been a solitary recluse, willingly becomes Yuexi's personal bodyguard and vows to protect her unconditionally for the rest of her life.
Her whole family dotes on her, cradling the laid-back little princess in their hands and cherishing her in every way,
Most of the authors write about this kind of girl controlling her daughter's slave, which is quite interesting.
