Uncle, Please Spare Me! I’m Really Not a Woman!

[Cross-dressing heroine + unhinged power minister + coercive pursuit + Prince Regent + calculating hero + both leads are pure]

Chu Zhaoning blinked and found herself the newly enthroned emperor of Great Chu.

Before she could even get comfortable on the dragon throne, Xiao Jiuyuan, the Prince Regent who had personally put her there, strode into her bedchamber with blood on him. His icy sword-like fingers pulled open her imperial robes. “Your Majesty, let me see how well your body has developed.”

Terrified, Chu Zhaoning clutched the chest binder beneath her clothes, tears welling in her eyes. “Imperial Uncle, I-I’m still young…”

At court, when the officials impeached the Prince Regent, Chu Zhaoning shot to her feet and slammed the table. “How dare you! Whatever Imperial Uncle says is a sacred decree!”

When assassins attacked, Chu Zhaoning’s legs trembled, but she clung tightly to Xiao Jiuyuan’s waist. “Imperial Uncle, don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you!”

Xiao Jiuyuan had initially thought she would be an easy puppet to control, but gradually, the look in his eyes changed.

Until one day, Chu Zhaoning accidentally fell into the water. Her soaked imperial robes revealed the graceful curves of a young woman.

That night, the doors to her bedchamber were sealed shut.

The all-powerful Prince Regent cornered the red-eyed little emperor against the dragon bed, his voice hoarse with madness. “I always wondered why Your Majesty was so soft and delicate.”
