The Crown Prince's Consort's Career Advancement Diary

This story: A powerful man humbles himself for love

In the autumn of Yuan Yi's sixteenth year, Zhuang Shu, the adopted daughter of the Prince of Pingyang, accompanied the Princess Consort of Pingyang to the capital. At the time, she had no idea what she would lose on this trip.

She only remembered that Mu Jun, the heir to the Prince of Pingyang and once the man she loved, had told her, "A Shu, I'll always love you."

They thought that would last forever.

Then the emperor bestowed a marriage on Mu Jun, killing their youthful love.

By chance, Zhuang Shu was selected to become a secondary consort to the Crown Prince.

She couldn't help remembering her past encounters with the Crown Prince in the capital, and thinking that His Highness was a man far beyond her reach.

Only later did Zhuang Shu learn that even a sovereign could lower himself for her.

Blurb two

"I told you that you don't need to report every interaction with the Prince of Pingyang's household to me. I trust you."

"Then why did Eunuch Wei say His Majesty looked displeased when he left Ziyuan Hall?"

"Wei Rang, get in here!"

Zhuang Shu quickly covered his lips. Li Su brushed her hand aside, furious. "This is an act of gross disrespect!"

"I've already committed far worse."

- The setting is fictional.

- The setup at the beginning will take a while, because many of those plot points connect to what happens after the heroine enters the Eastern Palace. I don't want the later story to feel artificially disconnected, so the leads won't interact much at first.

There will be plenty of romance after the heroine enters the Eastern Palace!

Content warning: The male lead will have a Crown Princess. Once he and the heroine get together, they will be exclusive.

My next novel will be "Princess, Your Consort Has Rebelled": a spirited princess x a devoted puppy-like young man, an arranged marriage that turns to love, and a young couple who love and torment each other. I'm working hard to build up a backlog.

They fell in love young, with a bond stronger than anything. National and family grievances, and tears welling before a word can be spoken.

Zhaoning is the most beloved princess in Dachang,

while her consort is the finest young man in the northwest.

After Zhaoning and Shen Zhang marry, they fall deeply in love and cannot bear to be apart.

Amid the treacherous palace intrigues, Shen Zhang does everything in his power to keep Zhaoning safe.

Just as they love each other most, Shen Zhang's father recruits soldiers in the northwest, harboring rebellious ambitions.

Forced to choose between her elder brother and her consort,

Zhaoning chooses her brother and personally offers her consort a cup of poisoned wine.

Years later, armies rise across the land and chaos engulfs the court.

After many twists and turns, Zhaoning finally agrees to marry the man she had loved since childhood.

On Zhaoning's wedding day, the northwestern army storms the imperial city. The man leading the attack is Shen Zhang, her former consort.

Looking at the couple in their wedding robes, Shen Zhang can't help but laugh and sigh, "May all lovers in the world be united at last!"

Zhaoning bursts into tears at his words.

Xiao Wenzhou is captured, and Zhaoning begs Shen Zhang for mercy, abandoning all dignity.

In the dungeon, she weeps in front of him until her face is soaked with tears.

Shen Zhang points his long saber at Xiao Wenzhou, a mocking smile on his lips. He says coldly, "If you shed one more tear for him, I'll cut him one more time."
