Princess, If You Don’t Act Soon, the Kingdom Will Fall

Blurb: A Yan transmigrates into a book and becomes a lowly cannon-fodder character. First, a debauched tyrant abducts her into the palace. Then, when the tyrant is killed by the domineering male lead, she gets killed along with him. It couldn't get more tragic. And at the moment she arrives, the tyrant is struck by her beauty and is in the middle of abducting her into the palace. Will she willingly play the cannon fodder? No. She can talk her way out of anything and she's a good actress! Remembering that the tyrant had a beloved daughter who died young in the book, she cleverly changes the plot, clings to the tyrant, and calls him Father: "Father, you've finally come! Your daughter had such a miserable life in her last incarnation!" She smoothly becomes the tyrant's most doted-on ten-year-old princess. She commands the winds and rain, and advises on matters of state, while even getting the tyrant to turn over a new leaf. The tyrant who used to abduct common women and berate his ministers now says: "Bring me the memorials. I want to read ten more through the night." Oh, and there's the male lead, who will come to kill them in a few years. She puts on the guise of a frail common girl and sweet-talks the future big shot into becoming sworn siblings with her. "Pinky promise, big brother. When you're successful, you won't bully your little sister, right?" The still-young Wei Feng: "All right." And so, through sheer (not really) skill (at all), she rides the waves in this tale of conquest. Keeping up the princess's original reputation as a hedonist, she leisurely enjoys having the young masters of the great clans play music and pour her wine. Until Wei Feng drops from the eaves of her princess's palace right in front of her. A Yan: ... Ahhh, that's not what you think! Big brother, just wait while I show off my acting skills! Note: The male lead appears a little later. Both leads have only ever loved each other.
