Marry the Princess

Coming next: The Young Lady (historical romance) A gentle, emotionally intelligent chancellor who climbs from humble beginnings vs. a cold, captivating, hot-tempered princess. The heroine is a heartbreaker, and the hero is as crafty as a hornet’s nest: One day, while compiling the official history, an archivist asks the princess’s household about how Princess Danyang and her consort, the current chancellor Yan Shang, first got together. The princess sneers. “At first, our relationship was one of ‘the lowly overstepping their station’ and ‘the powerful bullying the weak.’” The chancellor smiles warmly. “There’s no need to record that in the official history.” The chancellor recalls, “At first…” At first, after her former husband dies, Princess Danyang Mu Wanyao goes to Lingnan to recuperate and stays at a local gentry family’s home. Rain falls without end, the drops pouring down as the princess wakes to the sound of someone reading. She draws back the bed curtains and sees a handsome young man studying by the window. Through the misty rain, his brows stretch like distant mountains. The princess stares, dazed. Fanning herself, she leans close behind his ear and offers some advice: “You’re memorizing by rote, but your writing lacks coherence and your arguments have no force or flow. Your family has neither power nor influence, and you don’t socialize. Keep studying like this for another ten years, and you still won’t pass the imperial examinations.” As the rain patters down, the young man looks up. Her gaze makes his face flush, and he is relieved that this princess can at least behave like a person. Grateful for her advice, the young man enters the court a few years later. Then he marries the princess, becomes chancellor, and earns a reputation as a peerless statesman. Content warnings: 1. The heroine has a former husband, in every sense of the word. Don’t get your hopes up. But he isn’t an untouchable, idealized first love in her heart. She only loves the male lead. 2. The heroine is a hot-tempered princess. She’s not only a heartbreaker, but also very domineering. When she gets angry, she’ll slap the male lead and lock him up. 3. The setting is a fictional blend of the Tang and Han dynasties. There are no issues concerning a woman’s virtue or chastity. Theme: For family and country, give your life without hesitation
