The Struggle for the Throne

She is the peerless and brilliant Young Master Mingyu,

A woman of great ambition and foresight, with every plan accounted for.

She loathes the palace's treacherous intrigues more than anything,

Yet for her family, she has no choice but to get caught up in the princes' struggle for the throne...

[Author's warnings]:

1. Strong female lead.

2. The heroine disguises herself as a man and will not change into women's clothing.

3. Political intrigue takes center stage, with romance secondary. The Fourth Prince is the male lead.

4. The setting is fictional. Please don't overanalyze the official titles or place names.

5. The heroine is decisive and ruthless, no pushover. If that's not your thing, feel free to click away.

6. Neither the male nor female lead is based on a historical figure, so please don't assume otherwise. The author is sensitive, so please be gentle with me in the comments.

7. For various reasons, this story was abandoned. I'm revising it now and will finish it. I'm very sorry to the readers who followed the old version. Updates will be slow. Once again, my apologies. I will give the Marquis a proper ending.
