Power Beneath Her Skirts

[Blurb 1] (Complete; exclusively published on Jinjiang Literature City) The crown prince is dead, leaving the Great Xuan Dynasty without an heir. Rebels are at the gates. To stabilize the situation and investigate her twin brother’s death, Princess Changfeng Zhao Yan has no choice but to put on men’s clothes and pretend to be the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, coughing blood at the slightest breeze. On the night she enters the Eastern Palace, the empress gives her countless warnings: “As the only prince of a different surname in our dynasty, Prince Su has controlled the court for years and commands a powerful army. You must guard against his wolfish ambitions!” Zhao Yan clings even tighter to her secret identity and lives on tenterhooks day after day. Until one day, Zhao Yan is ambushed. When she wakes, she finds herself in an utterly compromising situation, with the powerful Prince Su beside her, his hair loose and robes disheveled. His handsome eyes are slightly upturned, lazy yet dangerous. This is it! Zhao Yan’s mind goes blank, and she turns to run. The next moment, her sash is caught. Prince Su lets out a scoff, his voice tinged with displeasure. “Running off just like that? That doesn’t seem right.” The “little crown prince,” her hair loose and face pale, stammers, “I…I was going to read the memorials.” “By all means.” The man leisurely twirls a strand of her hair, his voice low and husky. “Your Highness can read the memorials. I’ll read Your Highness.” [Blurb 2] Everyone says the naturally rebellious, unruly Prince Su has changed. He no longer causes trouble or plots rebellion, but has become obsessed with assisting the crown prince. He stays overnight in the Eastern Palace every day, and even shares a bed with the crown prince, sleeping side by side. Who could have guessed that when the truth comes out, the crown prince is revealed to be a woman who has been wearing men’s clothes and bringing chaos to the court? The whole court erupts. Everyone assumes Prince Su will seize the chance to overthrow the emperor and take the throne for himself. But when the court convenes to question her, Prince Su, dressed in a black cloak, bows before the civil and military officials and gently takes the slender fingers of the young woman. “Don’t be afraid. Keep walking.” His voice is cool and commanding, yet reassuring. He says calmly, “If anyone dares to speak against you, I’ll kill them. If Heaven stands in your way, I’ll rebel against Heaven itself.” Reading guide: 1. A fictional setting with a mishmash of dynasties and official titles. Don’t take historical accuracy too seriously. 2. The story focuses on romance, with the plot in service of the relationship. The heroine takes time to grow; this is not a power fantasy focused on career success. 3. The heroine disguises herself as a man, and there is also a character who disguises himself as a woman. These are plot necessities and do not involve romantic relationships outside of the central romance. If you can’t accept this, please read something else. 4. The male lead is named Wenren Lin. “Wenren” is his surname. (This novel will be marked as a paid title on 12/29, with extra chapters at that time. Thank you for your support, my lovely readers!
