[The Second Daughter of the Prime Minister's Residence, Skilled at Everything but Only Wants to Slack Off x The Seventh Prince, Rumored to Be Cruel, Violent, and Merciless]
The Seventh Prince, Xu Yongqi, is rumored to be violent, with countless lives to his name. Anyone who stands in the way of his bid for the throne has only one possible fate: death.
He asked the Prime Minister for the hand of his legitimate daughter, Shen Geyao, but was instead granted the hand of Shen Geqiao, a concubine-born daughter rumored to be plain and eccentric, with a cold, aloof personality.
Onlookers: Isn't the Emperor's arranged marriage a slap in the Seventh Prince's face? What if he loses his temper and kills Shen Geqiao!
Shen Geyao: Little sister, don't worry too much. Surely the Seventh Prince won't be too harsh on you, for Father's sake.
Shen Geqiao, who woke from a nap to learn she'd been granted in marriage: What? What does this have to do with me? All I wanted was to slack off every day!
Everyone was waiting to see Xu Yongqi and Shen Geqiao make each other's lives miserable. But at a palace banquet, someone saw the supposedly cold-tempered man pick up a pastry and hold it to the lips of the woman beside him, gently coaxing her:
"Try this. You'll definitely like it."
The woman beside him had bright eyes and pearly teeth. Her gaze wandered, captivating everyone around her, and she was stunningly beautiful. Shen Geqiao grumbled in displeasure, "I'm tired of pastries. I want grapes."
The hands Xu Yongqi used to wield swords and paint now peeled grapes. With a good-natured smile, he said, "All right. Whatever Qiaoqiao wants to eat, that's what we'll have."
Everyone else at the banquet: What? This is nothing like the rumors!

In the nineteenth year of the Jiagan era, an imperial decree arranged the marriage, and Shen Geqiao accidentally became Xu Yongqi's wife.
In the first year of the Jiakai era, a new emperor ascended the throne. Xu Yongqi donned the bright yellow dragon robes and received the worship of the masses.
During the decades of his reign, the empire enjoyed peace and prosperity, with favorable weather and bountiful harvests. Shen Geqiao was the only woman in his harem.
Tips: The dynasty is fictional, so please don't nitpick the history. One-on-one, happy ending. Enjoy reading.
Coming soon: The Secret History of the Grand Princess
[Free-spirited Reclusive Power Broker x Grand Princess Who Cares Deeply for Her Country and People]
The state of affairs was a mess, officials schemed against one another, and the Emperor threw tantrums like a child. The Grand Princess, Zuo Shu, was under far too much pressure at work, so she took a friend's advice and went to a male brothel for a night of indulgence.
The very next day, she brought a man back to her residence.
The man was exceptionally handsome, with bewitching phoenix eyes and dark, mesmerizing pupils. His face was as lovely as a peach blossom. He could play music and sing, and he knew poetry and etiquette.
But he had a bad temper and acted like a pampered lord. Zuo Shu often felt as if he were the one in charge.
After keeping him for a while, Zuo Shu had to marry, so she gave him some money and sent him away to start a respectable life.
On the day he left, the usually carefree man stared for a long time at the money Zuo Shu had handed him. He pressed his tongue against the roof of his mouth and gave a derisive laugh, his expression unreadable.
"Zuo Shu, you're something else," he said.
Only when they met again did she realize that he wasn't some poor soul who had fallen into vice. He was Puyang Zixi, the man the young Emperor had long feared, a shadowy figure who rarely showed himself.
They said Puyang Zixi was a loner, richer than a nation, and commanded hundreds of thousands of elite warriors. He could easily throw the whole of Great Qi into chaos.
Zuo Shu looked at Puyang Zixi, who was dressed in wedding robes and approaching her with measured steps, and swallowed nervously.
A tiger fallen to the plains... Oh no. She's done for.
*
Puyang Zixi found Zuo Shu extremely interesting.
In politics, her methods were ruthless and her eye sharp. She had taken down many of his most capable subordinates. In daily life, though, she was gentle as water, looking at him with her charming fox eyes as she softly asked if he wanted to play a game of chess with her.
For the first time, Puyang Zixi felt that life wasn't unbearably dull.
So he let the misunderstanding continue while secretly helping her deal with all her troubles.
Until one day, Zuo Shu told him tactfully, "Xiao Xi, General Li has helped me a great deal. I'm going to marry him, so pack your things and leave the residence."
Puyang Zixi, who had done good deeds without taking credit: What?
Coming soon: Daily Chatter in the Imperial Harem
Sang Huai was the CEO of a publicly traded company and a self-made businesswoman on the Forbes rich list. She worked so hard that she accidentally died at her desk.
After a trip to the gates of death, she opened her eyes and found herself in a palace-intrigue novel, reborn as its helpless heroine.
A strange voice sounded in her ear: Host, do your best! Strive toward your goal of becoming Empress!
Sang Huai, coming to her senses: ...Get lost.
Goodbye. What's the point of fighting over a man? In her last life, she had nearly worked her way to becoming the richest person in the country, and look how that turned out.
Given another chance at life, of course she'd do everything she could to lie flat!
-
The System had no choice but to work hard on its own, diligently coming up with a hundred ways each day to get the Emperor interested in Sang Huai.
System: Host! The Emperor is going to admire the flowers in the imperial garden today. Get dressed up and go swing on the swings!
Sang Huai: No.
She turned around, locked the Cold Palace door, and lounged in the courtyard in her baggy shorts.
System: ...
System: Host! It's getting hot, and the Emperor has lost his appetite. Go ask for some ice and make him a smoothie. He'll be delighted!
Sang Huai: Sure.
She made the smoothie, then turned around and drank every last drop herself.
System: ...
-
At last, one day, the Emperor noticed Sang Huai in the Cold Palace, and the System's efforts finally paid off.
The System wept with joy: Sob, sob! Our Host has finally made it!
After one night, the System eagerly asked Sang Huai: Well? Well? Have you fallen in love with our male lead? Wasn't last night unforgettable?
Sang Huai nodded. "It was pretty unforgettable. I spent the whole night teaching him English."
Sang Huai: "I'm going to keep teaching him English tomorrow night. Are you happy?"
System: ?
