The Lazy Princess's Daily Rise to Power

Sorry, this novel is being rewritten. The cross-dressing, lazy princess, and the top's role remain unchanged; everything else is undecided.

Question: Is it great to transmigrate into the legitimate son of the Empress?

Ruan Feixing: Thanks for asking. I'm still pretending to be a girl and living as a princess. I just tried on a phoenix robe, and it really brings out my beauty.

Ruan Feixing was an orphan, exceptionally talented, diligent, and hardworking. He successfully worked himself to the bone and outcompeted all his rivals, gaining power and wealth in his hands. Before he could enjoy any of it, he suddenly dropped dead at his desk.

After transmigrating, Ruan Feixing vowed to be a lazy fish who never even turns over, eating, drinking, having fun, and enjoying a carefree life.

But he transmigrated into the wrong body: the younger of a pair of royal twins, born at midnight on the Ghost Festival. The ignorant ancients considered him inauspicious beyond all measure, and the Empress nearly strangled him to death. After barely surviving, he still had to pretend to be a girl and live as a princess.

At one, his grandmother the Empress Dowager took him out of the palace as a bargaining chip. At eight, he ran away from home but never made it out. At fifteen, he was summoned back to the capital because the Empress was gravely ill. Who could have guessed that his emperor father would want him to marry the heir of the Duke of Dingguo in exchange for military achievements? But Young Master Shen was a hypocrite who already had someone he loved.

Oh, and his treacherous father's concubines kept picking fights with him, so he couldn't even hang up a truce sign.

Ruan Feixing: What am I supposed to do?

They say you have to prescribe the right medicine for the problem. Doesn't that mean if I deal with the emperor, I'll solve everything? (Strikethrough.)

He saves the Empress, rescues the imperial carriage, presents high-quality seeds, defeats foreign envoys, and fights the Noble Consort... The lazy fish finally gets moving and earns himself a fief where he can enjoy his retirement.

He doesn't have to worry about developing his fiefdom. He has countless capable subordinates, every one of them loyal and sincere.

And it turns out that Young Master Shen's beloved is actually him. Oh ho ho ho!

A wife, roasted melon seeds, and a warm kang bed!

All he has to do is wait for his elder brother, the Crown Prince, to take the throne, and then he can rest easy.

Subordinate: Report! The Crown Prince has gone missing, and the Duke of Dingguo has been framed for treason and imprisoned!

You dare lay a hand on my father-in-law? Ruan the Lazy Fish springs into action!

He springs into action a little too hard: the imperial seal is in his hands, and the dragon throne is beneath him.

No, no, no! A lazy fish could never become emperor!

Let me see who the lucky one is.

[Reading Guide]

1. Ruan Feixing is the top, and Shen Mu is the bottom. Both are strong; being delicate and frail is only temporary.

2. Comments and suggestions are welcome, but this author is only this capable. Changing things is impossible; I can only try to improve in my next book.

3. The main story probably won't be long. The word "probably" is emphasized.

4. There may be hiatuses and word-count padding before the book goes premium. After it goes premium, there will be at least three chapters a day, with six as the goal. I hope to reach ten thousand words a day.

Special thanks: The cover comes from the shared-prosperity event hosted by Bishui. Thank you!

Ruan Qingyao was tested as a child and found certain to present as an Omega in the future. So from elementary school onward, he studied music, chess, calligraphy, painting, cooking, and embroidery. His parents and older brothers doted on him as he grew up, and if he got even the slightest bump or scrape, he'd cry and beg for comfort.

But when he turned eighteen, he presented as an Alpha, and not just any Alpha: an incredibly powerful S-class Alpha.

The moment he saw the test results, Ruan Qingyao swayed unsteadily, eyes brimming with tears. Hadn't they said he was definitely going to present as an Omega?!

No matter which testing agency he went to, it was indisputable: Ruan Qingyao was an Alpha.

The Empire's law required all adult Alphas to serve five years of military service in the Military Tower. When the notice arrived, Ruan Qingyao remembered the terrifying stories about the tower and scared himself into the ICU, missing the time to report for duty.

The following year, the tower master came to escort him personally. Ruan Qingyao had no choice but to pack his bags and say tearful goodbyes to his family.

From then on, his legendary life began.
