Luo Zhenzhu was uneducated and knew nothing of etiquette. Barely four and a half feet tall, she was as delicate as a porcelain doll.
She had a secret she couldn't tell anyone outside the family.
For two generations, her family had served the dynasty as tomb raiders who helped the founding emperor seize the throne.
Yes, it was hereditary.
Only when she came to the capital at fifteen to inherit her official post did she learn she had already been betrothed by the emperor to the timid, cowardly Crown Prince.
Looking at her helpless, frail young husband, Luo Zhenzhu grew solemn.
To support His Highness the Crown Prince, she would have to work even harder at tomb raiding from now on.
The Crown Prince's birth mother was Empress Xiaoning, who had joined the current emperor from the very start of the uprising and helped him conquer and rule the realm.
But she fell ill and died not long after he was named Crown Prince.
It was said that when the empress died, she had gone mad, apparently possessed by an evil spirit.
The Crown Prince was consequently confined in the palace, where he grew up frail, sickly, and taciturn.
But only he knew that the fire of revenge burned in his heart day and night.
Yet when he saw his petite, delicate Crown Princess present him with a large box of treasures like a child showing off a prize, his heart softened beyond his control.
To let his little Crown Princess do as she pleased in the imperial city, he would have to bring his revenge forward.
Luo Zhenzhu knelt on the wedding bed, as small as a kitten. She showed the Crown Prince, without holding anything back, all the treasures she had been saving for ten years, then patted his shoulder reassuringly.
“Don't be scared. I'll raid the imperial tombs and keep you fed from now on.”
The Crown Prince was torn between laughter and tears. His heart softened so much that he wanted to hold her and kiss her several times. “Don't do anything that harms your virtue again. In our next life, I don't want to see you turn into a little pig rooting around in a muddy pen.”
Luo Zhenzhu declared righteously, “I am a tomb raider appointed by His Majesty...”
Wait, she let it slip!

Ah, I finally saw my comment. It's well written. Why doesn't the author update it?
Why does this author write so well? But the comment can't be posted?
How tall is four and a half feet? Look at the description of how the heroine is very short.
