A little something I wrote to kill time at work. Enjoy without overthinking it~
The newly founded Great Chu Dynasty has two secrets everyone knows.
First: The current emperor is a woman.
Second: The Crown Prince in the Eastern Palace is also a woman.
Oh, that one's not a secret anymore.
Ever since the Crown Prince stormed into the hall with a sword on the top scholar's wedding day, used its tip to lift the bride's veil, and discovered the bride was a man, the whole world has known: Her Highness the Crown Prince isn't just a woman, she's also a complete lunatic.
Ji Chenyao: So what if I'm crazy? Crazy people can successfully stage a rebellion and become Crown Prince.
She grew up doted on by everyone. Her mother commanded the only women's army, and her father was richer than the entire realm.
When chaos swept the land, the corrupt emperor ruled without regard for the people, and the common folk were driven from their homes.
Her father gave away his entire fortune and led troops into battle. Her mother had spent years secretly laying plans. Ji Chenyao distributed food among the refugees, won their hearts, recruited talent, and advanced one careful step at a time.
The whole family rose up in rebellion.
Her mother donned the imperial robes, and Ji Chenyao was named Crown Prince.
But then there were those two men: one was the beloved young man she'd waited years for, and the other was a gentle, obsessive top scholar who served as her tutor. Both gazed longingly at the gates of her Eastern Palace...
No one told her they were brothers! And what was this strange shared empathy between them? What was she supposed to do?
