The Prince Consort of the Prince of Heshen

Gu Chengcheng believes people shouldn't ask for too much. Between dying at twenty because she couldn't get treatment and returning to the Qing dynasty as the daughter of a military governor, the latter is heaven's gift: a chance to live again. That is, until an imperial decree lands in her lap and makes her the Heshen Prince's principal consort. Only then does she realize that the pie in the sky is a trap on the ground. She thinks of the Heshen Prince in the history books: arrogant and conceited, beating a grand councilor in open court; brazen enough to intercept official silver; and so fond of holding funerals that he made his family mourn at his funeral processions. She goes numb and decides to lie flat. So be it. The Heshen Prince: Strange, isn't it? How could anyone not love a man like me? Theme: Stay true to yourself in any circumstances
