The Crown Prince Becomes the Empress

The Yongsheng Emperor of the Ji Dynasty is a foolish ruler, obsessed with the delusion of immortality and trusting treacherous ministers. His vast empire is teetering on the brink of disaster. As the legitimate second son of the empress and the crown prince, Ji Hua can only pretend to be ill, timid, and weak. In secret, however, he joins forces with the Grand General Who Guards the Nation, struggling to survive amid bloodshed and turmoil. He does not do it for the empire or for power. He only wants to protect the last surviving branch of his elder brother's bloodline. As he and the Grand General work together from within and without time and again, he finds himself falling for him. "I give you both the world and myself." A scheming, cornered crown prince on the receiving end x a loyal, devious pursuer This is the story of Emperor Wude Jiang Yiwei and his empress Ji Hua from Reborn: The Number One Scholar's Beloved Husband. There is no rebirth and no golden finger. It's a story about surviving in the cracks. You don't have to have read The Number One Scholar, either. The plot connections are almost nonexistent. This is something of a challenge to myself. Aside from writing sweet stories with silly, innocent characters, I also want to write a sweet story about two people who continue to protect each other after weathering many storms. This is still a fictional setting. All the background details are made up, so please don't nitpick for historical accuracy. I write with care, hoping to bring you a smile. Theme: A love that continues to protect each other after weathering storms
