Making Do With Life With the Emperor

This novel has been published in Traditional Chinese.

The young emperor Shen Yibai has been entrusted by his dying father with finding a good match for Hua Ziqing, granddaughter of the Hua family, whose brave actions once saved the emperor.

In Shen Yibai's eyes, Hua Ziqing is stunningly beautiful and remarkably skilled, but her words and behavior are utterly improper.

In Hua Ziqing's eyes, Shen Yibai is peerlessly handsome, but cold-hearted, scheming, frail, and sickly.

Years pass, and Hua Ziqing still hasn't married.

Shen Yibai steels himself and says, "Marry into the palace and become my empress, ruling over the realm. Would that count as a good match?"

Hua Ziqing's lips twitch. "If not, I suppose we could give it a try..."

All she wanted was to be a lazy fish, admiring flowers, drinking tea, and watching other people fight over the palace.

But later, the lazy-fish empress becomes the most beloved woman in the harem, and she unexpectedly discovers that the emperor is her long-lost ideal.

Meanwhile, the emperor realizes that his empress's improper ways are rather adorable. Every day, he thinks to himself: My empress is simply irresistible!

One-on-one romance, both leads' first love, happy ending. At the beginning, the emperor has not yet taken full control of the government. Due to political circumstances and pressure from his regents, he will have a harem, but it exists in name only. The few women in the harem will each get what they deserve, whether good or bad.

The male lead is a transmigrator, while the female lead is a native of this ancient world. She is strong in combat, while he is strong in strategy.
