Training Her Good Dog: Her Absolute Possession

Two female leads + forced historical romance between women + bending for love + both devoted only to each other + one-on-one

A ruthless, volatile villainess vs. a sweet, clueless beauty

Qi Lanyun brought home a courtesan.

Her name was Ji Yuanshang. She was lowborn, dull-witted, ignorant, and timid.

Every day, she caused trouble in the most adorable way.

Qi Lanyun rather liked her.

Love makes the proud bow their heads.

Qi Lanyun hired a tutor for Ji Yuanshang, teaching her how to understand the world and gradually rid her of her lowly instincts, so she could stand up and live with dignity.

Ji Yuanshang lowered her head. “Your Highness, I can't learn a thing. I only want to be your beloved concubine and serve you.”

To Ji Yuanshang, winning Qi Lanyun's favor and becoming her private consort was already the greatest blessing imaginable. She was happy and content.

Qi Lanyun kissed the top of her head. “Being a concubine isn't impressive, and even being empress falls short. Only being worshipped by all the people and holding power over the entire court is worthy of my Shangshang.”

Ji Yuanshang stared at her, stunned and at a loss.

She confessed in fear, “I'm sorry. I've been using you and plotting against you all along.”

Qi Lanyun praised her. “My wife is perceptive and resourceful.”

Ji Yuanshang was horrified, lost her memory, and ran away.

Qi Lanyun was left behind, expressionless. “Fine. After all that, you're still not going to make a move.”

Later generations recorded that the Ji clan had a daughter named Yuanshang, born into humble circumstances. By good fortune, she met the emperor and became her close friend. In the third year of Zhaoning, she came first in the imperial examination. In the tenth year of Zhaoning, she became chancellor. Her achievements were outstanding, and she was a minister for the ages.

Unofficial histories say the emperor had no heirs in her lifetime and was exceptionally close to Chancellor Ji.

Rumor has it that the princess had a knack for playing the lapdog when she was young. No, no, perhaps I should put it more elegantly: with one gentle smile, the famous courtesan stole the princess's heart.
