[The full novel is complete]
He Jiao transmigrates into a court-politics novel written for male readers, becoming a princess who dies before the story begins.
Princess Mingjiao is of noble birth and is also the childhood sweetheart and fiancée of Yan Zhong, the youngest chancellor in the court.
Yan Zhong is the novel's final villain. He beats up the male lead, kicks the imperial family around, and is ruthless and wicked. The only good thing about him is that he never marries anyone else for the sake of Mingjiao, proving his devotion with his whole life.
But now...
He Jiao stares at the certain unmentionable substance in her hand and falls silent.
The book never said the princess became Yan Zhong's fiancée by drugging him!
Is this really a childhood sweetheart?
This must be the real reason the villain turned evil!
Author, kill me!!!
From the Male Lead's Perspective
Yan Zhong has lived for over twenty years and considers himself no paragon of virtue. If someone wrongs him, he pays them back tenfold or a hundredfold.
After all, the people of this world are fools, easy to toy with.
That is, until Mingjiao appears and he realizes...
He celebrated too soon.
#What kind of childhood sweetheart looks at you with such maternal affection?!#
#Whose little devil is this? Hurry up and take her home!#
#...Fine, she's mine.#
[Reading Guide]
1. Other possible titles: How Bright Is the Moon? The Princess Is a Goofball; The Heroine Gets Nearly Killed in Every Possible Way; The Hero Is Always on the Verge of Suffocating; and so on.
2. Silly, sweet fluff, written for practice and to relax.
3. The official system of government is based on the Han dynasty, and the imperial consort system on the Tang dynasty. There are original details and the setting is fictional, a hodgepodge of everything. Please don't nitpick the historical details, or the author's many plot holes might drive you mad.
4. Zhong means "mountain peak," not "tomb," ahhhhh!
5. I wanted to practice writing romance, so the career plot is basically nonexistent. This isn't a strong-female-lead face-slapping story, so readers looking for that may be disappointed. Sorry in advance.
6. Thanks to Lu Lu for designing the cover.
7. I don't know what else to say, so I'll bow to everyone as a sign of respect.

Let me also promote my historical transmigration novel, After Flirting with the Marquis's Wife, where the male lead cross-dresses. It's a self-indulgent story, and a romance! The main story is complete. Click the author's page to find it _(:з"∠)_
Synopsis:
Ming Yu transmigrates one day, only to be given as a concubine to the powerful Marquis of Zhenwu by her awful father from her original body.
Ming Yu figures she's getting a good deal. The Marquis of Zhenwu is young and handsome, and his household is full of beauties of every shape and kind.
She's also heard that the marchioness is a delicate, kind-hearted wallflower who is frail and neglected. She wears a veil all year round and keeps such a low profile that people assume she must be disfigured. By the usual rules of household intrigue, she surely won't last three years.
Ming Yu rubs her hands together, ready to scheme her way up the household ranks. Then the beautiful women in the Marquis of Zhenwu's household can all perform Erquan Yingyue together, singing and playing instruments. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
On the second day after entering the household, Ming Yu catches the marchioness being mocked by a concubine in the garden.
She heads over, eager to watch the drama, but sees the concubine angrily rip the veil off the wallflower's face, revealing a face so exquisite it seems otherworldly.
Ming Yu, beauty-obsessed black lotus: !!!
#Big sister! Give me a chance to be your girlfriend!#
A scheming green-tea bimbo sets up the innocent wife?
Ming Yu jumps in and gives her a good face-slapping: Nobody gets to bully my beautiful, heavenly sister!
The Marquis of Zhenwu favors his concubine over his wife and ignores his wife?
Ming Yu sneaks off to comfort her late at night: Big sister! That dog of a Marquis of Zhenwu doesn't deserve your face!
The wallflower marchioness coldly asks what Ming Yu wants?
Ming Yu immediately confesses her love: Big sister, if you're happy, I'm happy.
Even after Cen Guilan returns to his real identity and stands in front of Ming Yu, she's still showering him with compliments: Big sister! You look so handsome and charming dressed as a man!
#Wait, you're actually a man?#
#Damn, I gave birth to him#
Synopsis from the Male Lead's Perspective:
Cen Guilan is the head of the Imperial Guards and the emperor's most trusted confidant. He stops at nothing to get what he wants, and considers any means fair if it gets results.
So he disguises himself as the Marchioness of Zhenwu, using the households of the court officials to gather intelligence more effectively.
The trick works perfectly. After all, no one would suspect that the famous head of the Imperial Guards was lying around in someone's household wearing a veil.
Until one day, he loses the battle of household intrigue and someone accidentally pulls off his veil...
#I thought I was weird, but there's someone even weirder than me?#
#It'd be such a shame not to marry this weirdo#
Theme: Be honest and kind, and always be yourself.
Then it turns out that Yan Zhong on that line doesn't have a wife? What a tragedy!
Love this novel! So well written!
I quite like the happy ending of the redemption line. The heroine is so silly and sweet. She is very cute.
Hahahahahahaha, that's great!
The ending is pretty good. In fact, I think the writing is quite silly. At least it made me laugh. Good luck.
It's great. People who make themselves happy will also make the people around them happy. I love cookies so much.
Spread flowers, there is nothing wrong with being kind, kind people are especially precious! !
Big Brother: Are you polite? ? ! ! ! →_→
So delicate, so delicate, so delicate and cute
I feel very happy⊙▽⊙
