[Unhinged Eldest Princess | Two Powerful Leads, Political Scheming | Mutual Devotion | Face-Slapping the Powerful]
For eighteen years, Princess Yuan Zhaoyue of Zhaohua had been treated as a foolish simpleton. Now, in the Zichen Hall, the officials were pressuring her to marry into the Northern Heqi tribe.
Little did they know that her apparent naivety and foolishness for all those years had been a disguise she maintained deep within the palace.
She relied neither on her beauty nor on her status as the emperor’s elder sister. Instead, she entered the game through open, strategic moves and threw the court into turmoil.
Pei Zheng, Prince of Zhenbei, was a cold-blooded general who commanded a mighty army. He had always watched from the sidelines, but she captivated him, and he repeatedly made exceptions for her.
They stood together to break through one crisis after another, matching wits at every turn. The stone-faced God of War fell into a fiercely devoted love for her and willingly became her strongest support.
Liu Song wanted to force her into a political marriage? Then she would make the Chancellor’s own daughter travel far into the deserts of the north.
The Dowager Consort wanted to lecture her as an elder? Then she would simply kill her trusted aide.
Noble Consort Liu wanted to cultivate a virtuous reputation? Then Yuan Zhaoyue would propose cutting the expenses of the entire imperial harem and claim it was the Noble Consort’s idea.
Liu Song joined forces with powerful officials to accuse her of meddling in politics? Then Pei Zheng would leave them no choice but to keep their heads down.
Yuan Yu supported Yuan Zhaoyue in everything she did. Step by step, the siblings reclaimed all imperial power. United, they were an unstoppable force.
