I Disguised Myself as a Man, but My Archrival Wants to Be Empress

[Woman Disguised as a Man] [Fake Eunuch vs. Fake Prince] [Rivals Become Emperor and Consort] [Love and Hate] Early on: sinister, ruthless Lord Eunuch vs. meek little prince doing anything to survive. Later: decisive, domineering empress vs. jealous, insecure, lovesick schemer.

In her previous life, Chu Mingshu was sentenced to death with a cup of poison by her sworn enemy, Xie Changyuan, who held the court in his grip. They both died. Reborn, she is once again the useless crown prince who disguises herself as a man. To stay alive, she decides to cling to this living demon and shower him with flattery.

“Lord Xie is wise, mighty, and second to none!”

Xie Changyuan sneers. “What trick is Your Highness playing now?”

Later, Chu Mingshu plays the fool while outmaneuvering everyone, eliminates all the other princes, and is about to ascend the throne. But there, blocking the imperial throne, stands Xie Changyuan, the most powerful man in the court, dressed in a brilliant red wedding robe.

Chu Mingshu: “? Lord Xie, are you staging a coup?”

Xie Changyuan’s eyes redden as he closes in step by step. “I cleared every obstacle for Your Highness, and now you want to make someone else your empress?”

“If Your Highness dislikes me for being a man, I’ll find a potion and turn myself into a woman to serve you!”

Chu Mingshu is horrified and yanks open her dragon robe. “There’s no need! Actually, I’m a woman!”
