Seventeen-year-old Xiao Qianli, daughter of the King of Beijiang, returns after twelve years as a “hostage experience expert.” Dressed as a man and armed with sharp comebacks, she kicks open the gates of the capital.
In the fictional Great Sheng, noble houses scheme against one another, the imperial harem is treacherous, and the court is full of drama queens. But with nothing but her silver tongue, she can put every defiant soul in their place.
An outcast in the cold palace? Her family is being exploited? Her shops have been seized? No problem. She lets loose a barrage of sharp retorts, every line a direct hit!
She trades barbs with the crown prince, wins over the consort, makes a powerful minister cry and resign, and even gets the emperor thinking about giving her an extra drumstick.
While everyone else fights with swords, she fights with words. Between her ridiculous daily antics and her rise to become everyone’s favorite, the county princess is back. All that matters is having a blast!
