The Princess Is Determined to Ascend the Throne

Male rivals competing for her + a battlefield of jealous suitors + adored by everyone + all the men are chaste + all the men are possessive and secretly ruthless

One ruler x a group of ministers who willingly follow her, one after another

Ever since she was little, Grand Princess Zhu Yu has wanted to become emperor.

To that end, she recruited soldiers, raised a private army, poisoned her own father, and sharpened her blade for the crown prince

Only to transmigrate into a book on the eve of her great ambition's success.

She transmigrated into the book's Zhu Yu, the seventh princess whom everyone despised as foolish and dim-witted.

The bad news: her progress in the succession struggle has reset to zero overnight.

The good news: Zhu Yu has read the book and knows everything from an omniscient perspective.

So Zhu Yu sets out on her campaign for the throne as before.

The dashing, battle-hardened general treats her like a goddess. “If I return victorious... would you spare me a glance?”

Zhu Yu: “You have a real talent for military affairs. Would you serve as one of my generals?”

The general: ?

The aloof, noble young master of an aristocratic clan asks for her favor. “If I become head of my family, could there be a place for me by the princess's side?”

Zhu Yu: “Sir, your intelligence borders on the supernatural. Would you be my strategist?”

The young master: ?

The fabulously wealthy imperial merchant bows his head to her. “Everything you see before you, anything that has a price, I can give you.”

Zhu Yu: “All under Heaven belongs to the emperor. By saying that, are you supporting my becoming emperor?”

The merchant: ?

Her half-brother says he admires her ambition. Zhu Yu grins as she sharpens her blade. “Keep your neck clean and wait. You're next. I'll kill you.”
