Can a Man Be the Grand Princess?

Can a man be a princess royal, too?

Li Weiruo is the princess royal of the Great Zhou dynasty, born of the same mother as the current emperor and his own elder sister.

In these chaotic times, the emperor kills all his other siblings, sparing only Li Weiruo.

Because her fate is deemed ill-omened, Li Weiruo is sent away from the palace.

In the twelfth year of Great Zhou, the third prince, Li Weiheng, ascends the throne.

In the thirteenth year of Great Zhou, Li Weiheng becomes a brutal killer. While traveling incognito, he falls out with the Empress Dowager's faction.

In the fourteenth year of Great Zhou, Li Weiruo is found and develops a speech impediment.

In October of that same year, Li Weiruo is named Princess Royal Yongyao and sent to Jiangnan to recuperate.

In the fifteenth year of Great Zhou, the commoner Wei Jinghan comes first in the imperial examinations. Li Weiheng makes Wei Jinghan the princess royal's consort and gives him important responsibilities.

In the sixteenth year of Great Zhou, Wei Jinghan marries the princess royal.

Today, on the way back, the princess royal's carriage is startled. He hits his head against a pillar inside and blacks out for a moment. When he opens his eyes, he sees dense lines of text floating in the air.

"This cannon-fodder princess is so annoying. Why haven't she and the sickly tyrant been written out yet? How is our precious heroine supposed to become emperor otherwise?"

"The little tyrant killed someone again today. Our precious heroine is so kind by comparison."

"I'm so mad. The male lead is still serving the cannon fodder as a guard, so our precious heroine can only meet him in private. The loyal dog of a guard who obeys her every command and the sweet, ambitious empress dowager, I'm shipping them."

"Still, this mute princess is quite good-looking."

The mute princess: ...He doesn't want to be mute either, but if he opens his mouth, his secret will be exposed.

Wei Jinghan became the princess royal, and then her consort, all because the young emperor's thoughts were impossible to fathom.

That year, the misty rain... Yeah, right. Wei Jinghan had only gone to collect a debt when he ran into the young emperor traveling incognito. At the time, the emperor was arguing with the Empress Dowager's faction.

The young emperor had a fiery temper, and the debtor was about to be killed. Wei Jinghan didn't want to lose his money, so he stepped forward and said a few things. Who knew they would strike right at the young emperor's heart?

Of course, that was just his guess.

The young emperor's expression changed, and he threw his arms around Wei Jinghan, crying, "Elder sister, I've finally found you."

But he's a man! Can a man be a princess royal, too?
