The Princess Fears Nothing

[Complete] As the most beloved daughter of the Great Hao Emperor, Yuan Zhen was destined to live a life of luxury and honor. She never imagined that the capital would fall overnight, and the entire court would bow its head, with not a single man among them. The princess herself was sent to marry a prince of the enemy state, all in the name of peace. Well, there was one man after all. He was Yang Bian, the Prince of Zhenbei, who continued to fight like a cornered beast after the fall of Great Hao, leading his men against the Northern Rong and helping her dear little brother ascend the throne. He was now the capital’s newest favorite, Commander of the Divine Guard Army. That filthy northwest barbarian, that shameless thief who had just been scolded by her for daring to covet a princess merely because of his military achievements! After waking from her dream, Yuan Zhen thought over everything that had happened. She decided she had to do something. To save herself, she would start by raising a vicious dog. Ever since entering the capital, Yang Bian had done nothing but struggle like a cornered beast. An eagle from the northwest belonged soaring freely over the plateau, not trapped in this gilded cage, where he had to scheme and fight with others all day. “Why do you regard me so favorably, Princess, and help me time and again?” “What if I said I want the general to serve me?” “I can’t help thinking you’re lying to me!” Later “I accept the princess’s offer. Tell me, who do you want dead?” Later still She seemed to have no intention of marrying him at all. She kept sneaking him away and hiding him as her lover. What on earth was she planning? “Xiao Yuan Zhen, you can only marry me, and you will marry no one but me!” And later still In the first year of Daxing, the lands of Hao flourished. Though the north and south remained at odds with the Northern Rong, the country enjoyed peace and prosperity, its fortunes on the rise. The corruption and weakness of the previous dynasty, which had left its people insecure, were gone. At this moment, the officials urged Yuan Zhen to ascend the throne. She became the second woman in recorded history to rule as emperor, known to posterity as Emperor Yuanxing. Emperor Yuanxing had one imperial consort: the Prince of Zhenbei. Their story reaches back to a past life as well as their present one, and it would take a long time to tell it all. In this life, their story seems only just to have begun. *One-on-one romance. The setting is very loosely based on history, so please don’t scrutinize it. *The heroine doesn’t rely solely on the hero. Women take part in politics, and she ultimately becomes empress. The heroine is the brains, the hero is the brawn. Together, they make a formidable pair. *More than ten of my completed novels are in my author profile. Visit my profile to check them out.

Every palace intrigue story has a woman like this. She’s always beautiful, always from a humble background, and always has the same job: serving as a scapegoat. Perhaps for the sake of true love, perhaps to keep the balance of power, the emperor always raises her up and showers her with boundless favor. That’s right, she’s also known as the imperial favorite. Her fate usually isn’t a happy one. She’s either cast aside and sent to the Cold Palace, or dies a gruesome death after committing countless evil deeds. Only after dying once did Jiang Cha learn that she was just a substitute, chosen by Xiao Yi to protect his beloved, Ni Le’an. All because their names both contained the character “An”??? Xiao Yi had taken the throne without being the crown prince, and the empress dowager was not his birth mother. With the inner palace newly established and its factions in disarray, he feared that Ni Le’an was too gentle to survive the palace intrigues. So he raised Jiang Cha, his substitute, up as a target. Using her ruthless methods, he could eliminate the remaining power of the noble clans and clear the way for his beloved. Reborn, Jiang Cha decided she would love whoever she pleased. This girl wasn’t going to play along anymore. Unfortunately, the situation was already set in stone. If that was the case, she would turn the whole place upside down, then fly free when the time was right. She never imagined things would turn out a little differently this time.
