Tong Xiao spent sixteen years farming in the countryside. Then her father, who had left to conquer the world, suddenly decided to pass the throne on to her.
The plays all said that only men could become Crown Prince.
So Tong Xiao disguised herself as a man and dutifully became a noble, graceful young Crown Prince.
Then a group of people joined forces to kill her.
Only then did she realize that her master, guards, childhood sweetheart, and bedfellow all wanted her dead.
If that's how it is, then she might as well stop pretending. She won't just be Crown Prince, she'll be Empress.
Later generations studying the history of the Ying Dynasty are always stunned by the tangled love life of its second emperor, Tong Xiao.
A famous general, the Imperial Tutor, a prince of another surname, even the ruler of a neighboring country: she had a thing with every one of them?!
[The young Crown Prince was everyone's White Moonlight, but the one who came back was a shameless flirt.]
[All the male characters are trash. The female lead is the worst of them all. They all treat each other badly.]
