The Eldest Princess Is Both Flirtatious and Timid

On the day Le Ran came of age, the emperor died.

With his dying breath, he issued an edict that raised her, after years of neglect, to the position of Grand Princess Regent, putting her directly at odds with Song Cheng, the powerful Left Chancellor.

According to rumors, Left Chancellor Song Cheng held immense power and controlled the government. People said he wanted to seize the throne as regent, manipulated the political arena, persecuted loyal officials, and was a wicked traitor of the worst kind.

The one who sat on the throne was Le Ran's little brother, who had just turned eight, otherwise known as the puppet emperor.

The little princess took a deep breath. For her brother's sake, she decided to face the challenge head-on.

She cinched her skirt tight, studied late into the night, and pushed herself to the limit. She took medicine with a piece of candy and reminded herself that the road was long, but even an old man could move a mountain...

But governing was just so hard, sob...

Exhausted, the little princess bit her pen and slumped over her desk. Then she had a brilliant idea.

She would marry Song Cheng! And then...

Win him over!

As the notorious villain everyone feared, Song Cheng was beginning to realize that something was off.

Take the little princess, for instance. She used to turn pale with fright whenever she saw him.

But these past few days, she had been sneaking glances at him, stumbling into his arms as if by accident, twitching as though she wanted to say something before running away, and even giving him gifts for no reason.

After several such incidents, Song Cheng was baffled, but also found himself intrigued. That is, until one day, he trapped the slippery little girl securely in his arms, like a hunter ensnaring his prey in a net.

While the officials trembled with anxiety over the siblings who now occupied the highest seats of power, in a hidden corner where no one could see...

The little princess tugged at the great villain's sleeve, eyes brimming with tears. A stack of memorials nearly as tall as a person lay behind her. She only had to call him softly, "Teacher," and the man was completely defeated.

Song Cheng had never imagined that one day, he would willingly bend the knee for just one person.

A few notes

1. One couple, devoted to each other. An ordinary romance full of domestic details. A pampered, adorable princess x a calculating, powerful villain.

2. Almost no angst. Carnivore x herbivore.

3. A simple, sweet story with no twists. Most of the heroine's flirting is already in the blurb. It's mostly everyday moments, without much drama. If slice-of-life stories aren't your thing, feel free to move on to the next book, or click the upper-right corner.

4. Please give it a favorite, mwah! If you do, you're my wife!

5. A lighthearted story in a fictional setting. The setting serves the plot and story, so readers who care about precise wording should stay away.

6. Please don't compare this story to other works or authors in the comments, especially by saying it's similar to some other book. My kids are one of a kind, and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise.

My writing skills are limited, but I hope to keep improving. I hope writing this makes me happy, and that reading it makes you happy too.

[Coming Soon]

1. "A Thought of Chaoyang"

When Gu Wanwan was three, the Gu family was framed and executed. Xie Yuheng, who had little power at the time, went to great lengths to save her and secretly raised her in his home.

Too young to know right from wrong, the three-year-old stuck to the handsome young man all day, calling him Daddy.

She ruined one marriage prospect after another for Xie Yuheng.

Instead of getting angry, Xie Yuheng was delighted. "Say it again."

Gu Wanwan: "Daddy, Daddy, pick me up."

From then on, no matchmaker ever set foot in the Xie family residence again.

Everyone knew that the second young master of the Xie family had declared that there would only ever be one woman in his life.

Later, he truly became both father and mother to the little girl, raising her into a graceful young woman and going to great lengths to find her a good match.

Later still, the suitors who came to ask for her hand filled the doorstep, only to be driven away one and all by Xie Yuheng.

In the dim bedchamber, the famous second young master Xie held the girl in his arms, his normally cool eyes filled with madness.

"Zhaozhao, I've avenged you. Say my name."

Xie Zhaozhao, who had been forced to change both her name and surname, rolled her eyes. "Tch."

2. "The Cannon-Fodder Crown Princess Goes Viral Through Livestreaming"

Jiang Wansu, the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family, was unmatched in talent and beauty, the most beautiful woman in the Xia dynasty.

The year she came of age, she married the man she had loved for ten years, the Crown Prince of Great Xia, Shen Yingnan, giving him all her love and a sincere heart. She became his officially wedded crown princess.

But three years of marriage brought three years alone in an empty room and no children. The Jiang family became a laughingstock throughout the capital of Xia.

When the gossip reached Jiang Wansu's ears, she was watching Shen Yingnan gently escort his pregnant consort into the house. He didn't even spare her a cold glance.

People sighed, pitied her, laughed at her, and mocked her, treating Jiang Wansu's life as a humiliating joke.

But once the door closed, the beauty everyone assumed was hiding away to cry in sorrow tossed her hair and gave a perfect, eight-toothed smile.

"What you just saw was a 'scumbag' bringing his mistress home in broad daylight and showing off in front of his wife."

"Thanks to Sister Dingding for the bottle of itch powder! Tonight at eight, Wansu will livestream the scumbag's rotten little business for everyone~"

+This midsummer, Jiang Wansu was suddenly hit on the head by an apple. When she woke up, a strange thing claiming to be a System had appeared in her mind, awakening her memories.

Jiang Wansu realized with a shock that she was the ill-fated supporting female character in a book. Because she had targeted the heroine, Shen Yingnan came to hate her, and once he took power, a single edict would wipe out the entire Jiang family.

And that so-called heroine was someone she had already been targeting for quite some time...

Remembering her gruesome end, Jiang Wansu shuddered. To keep her pretty head attached to her body, she followed the System's instructions and began a livestreaming career to supposedly rack up extra lives...
