I Transmigrated as Emperor Huizong's Princess

Zhao Luming thought the perfect heroine’s story would go like this:

She’d be reborn as a princess, adored by the emperor and cherished by her brothers, clever, charming, and beautiful, with a host of handsome young men from the greatest aristocratic families in love with her. Then she’d embark on a thrilling, eventful life.

The story Zhao Luming actually got was:

Everything above was true, except the emperor was Emperor Huizong of Song, her brothers were Emperor Qinzong and Wanyan Gou, and the fall of Jingkang was only five years away.

The Son of Heaven would be led away in disgrace, stripped to the waist and roped like an animal. Imperial relatives and ministers would be held hostage, while the empresses, consorts, and princesses were valued at thousands of gold pieces, sent to the Laundry Bureau, and reduced to playthings.

The land was shattered, the realm stained with shame.

What could be said? What vengeance could be taken?

Only by driving her chariot north, reclaiming the lands of Yan and Yun, pacifying Western Xia, and storming the pass at Mount Helan!

Of course, there were challenges.

How could she persuade the royals and high officials who only wanted to hide behind their high walls and watch the people of China be slaughtered?

How could she gain power and build the army she wanted?

Someone once asked her: When she coveted the imperial throne and decided to raise her blade against her father and brothers, had she ever wondered how history would record her?

Little scene:

“This was never what I intended.”

In the fifth year of Ganlu, on the eve of the palace coup, Princess An Guo, Zhao Luming, spoke a truth from her heart.

“I really did want to live a life of wealth and leisure,” the princess said sincerely. “They were just so hopeless.”

Warnings:

The heroine becomes a Machiavellian in the later chapters. Don’t expect too much from her morality.

The heroine will have several relationships, at different times. The male leads will definitely be virgins; the author isn’t sure whether the heroine will be. The author is terrible at writing romance.

There will be no childbirth or heir-related plot in the main story.

The author is quick to kill off characters. No one except the heroine (and Lord Yue) has a get-out-of-death-free card.

Any paths the heroine doesn’t take aren’t ones she chose to reject. The author’s limited intelligence is to blame. Writing them would make the world’s logic collapse, so please be understanding.

This book contains quite a few historical inaccuracies, all because the author doesn’t read enough. I’ll correct them as I write. If I haven’t fixed something, it’s because this is the best I can do for now. Please bear with me.
