[Transmigration + Adorable Child + Taking Down Villains + Palace and Household Intrigue]
Five-year-old Shen Nuonuo is a concubine-born daughter whom everyone in the capital calls “Silly Five.”
When her legitimate older sister pushes her into a pond, she cries, “Sister’s hands are so slippery.” When a Noble Consort gives her a hard time in front of everyone, she blinks and asks, “Your Highness, were you crying just now?”
Everyone thinks she’s a harmless little victim.
That is, until the Crown Prince spots her in the imperial garden, standing on a stone stool and calmly directing two young masters from powerful families as they expose each other’s secrets.
Nuonuo turns around and smiles, tilting her head. “Brother, would you like me to praise you too?”
The Crown Prince falls silent for three seconds, then hands her a box of osmanthus cakes. The note inside says just two words:
“Stop pretending.”
