The Legitimate Daughter Marries a Playboy? No, They Join Forces as Equals

[Pure historical romance] + [Powerful allies] + [A slow, steady romance]

Lin Qingge is the eldest legitimate daughter of the Chancellor’s household. Her mother died early, and she grew up in her maternal grandparents’ home. When she finally returned to the family estate, all she wanted was to live in peace. But her stepmother and stepsister saw her as a thorn in their side and wanted nothing more than to get rid of her. She’s no pushover, though. She easily turns aside their slander and schemes, then strikes back and makes them eat their words. She takes down the villains up front, while the prince has her back.

After a flower-viewing banquet, the Crown Prince says, “I have chosen you. I’ll ask Father Emperor to arrange our marriage and make you my Crown Princess.” The Carefree Prince says, “I love you!”

The emperor says, “Crown Prince, your uncle is getting on in years, and he’s finally found someone he likes. Don’t compete with him.” The emperor sighs inwardly. After all, he had raised this younger brother himself!

The Carefree Prince is known as the capital’s number-one playboy. But is he really a playboy? This princess consort thinks not. From then on, every young nobleman in the capital knows not to cross the Carefree Prince’s consort, and that the prince himself is thoroughly henpecked.

Later, the princess consort discovers that the so-called playboy prince has all been an act. He is, in fact, the emperor’s sharpest blade.

From then on, husband and wife stand together, supporting one another as they defend the peace and stability of Great Zhao.
