Raised to be spoiled and straightforward, she's fearless. When she hears that her younger sister was abandoned after the new second-place palace examination graduate slept with her, she nearly has someone beat him up. That day, the emperor holds a banquet to celebrate the new graduates and reward them. Su Zhao and a group of officials' daughters are allowed to attend. Her younger sister points to a man behind a rockery. "Big sister, that looks like the heartless man." Su Zhao sneers and, ignoring her sister's attempts to stop her, gathers up her skirt and marches behind the rockery. Beneath a pear tree, a light rain carries its fragrance. "I hear you've climbed to a lofty branch, sir. Why hide it? You might as well tell me, and then I can offer my congratulations." The newly appointed Crown Prince barely raises an eyebrow at her. The guards and palace attendants beside him have already dropped to their knees. == 1. 100,000 words, one-on-one romance, happy ending 2. An alternate history.
