The moment she opened her eyes, she had become Xuanyuan Qingyu, the unluckiest Seventh Prince of the Shixuan Kingdom.
Forced to live as a man for twenty years, she faced daily tests from her imperial father, the emperor, who was always looking for an excuse to have her beheaded.
Her mother, the empress, didn’t dare acknowledge her, and the entire court was waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
Xuanyuan Qingyu sneered. “Fine, then let’s make this interesting.”
They gave her Zhinning Palace, a haunted house? She turned the forbidden place into the kingdom’s largest intelligence hub.
They wanted her to be a pawn in the shadows? She seized the position of Shadow Guard commander and took control of every secret network in the imperial palace.
The emperor wanted to use the struggle for the crown prince’s position to keep the court in check? She turned all three of her princely brothers into her weapons.
In the martial world, she was Ning Yu, the mysterious, newly risen master of Yiqing Manor.
In secret, she was the royal family’s sharpest and most dangerous blade.
Until Nan Yuexie, master of the Wuye Palace, came calling.
The bewitching man stared at her for three seconds, then smiled. “Seventh Prince, you smell of face powder.”
Xuanyuan Qingyu drew her sword. “Smell me again and I’ll cut off your nose.”
