The Good Life After Becoming a Tang Dynasty Princess

Overworked office drone Li Mingyao died suddenly from working overtime. When she opened her eyes again, she was a newborn baby.

The midwife cried out with delight, "The baby's here! It's a little princess!"

Hearing that she'd been born into a good family, Li Mingyao, who had worked herself to death with all those overtime shifts, couldn't help grinning. Heaven had treated her well. At last, she could lie flat in this life!

The midwife and all the palace maids in the birthing room were stunned. "The little princess can smile as soon as she's born?"

Amid the crowd, she was handed to a middle-aged man in an imperial robe with a handsome beard. The emperor seemed pleased with her. "As expected of my daughter!"

When Li Mingyao learned that she had been born during the Zhenguan era of the Tang Dynasty, she lay even flatter.

No matter who her birth mother was, as long as her father was Li Shimin, she could happily be a little salted fish in the prosperous Tang Dynasty!

That is, until the older princesses ahead of her died one after another, and she was granted her title. Li Mingyao could no longer smile.

She was the seventeenth daughter of Emperor Taizong of Tang, the infamous Princess Gaoyang, known throughout the empire for her beauty and scandalous reputation...

She would marry a spineless prince consort, have an illicit affair with a monk after marriage, and eventually be implicated in a treason case and executed. Even after death, she wouldn't be allowed to rest in the imperial mausoleum!

Li Mingyao shuddered and hurried on her little legs to the imperial desk. She glanced at the emperor and empress, who sat side by side in perfect harmony, then promptly opened her arms and ran to Empress Zhangsun, pleading pitifully, "Mother, hold me!"

From today on, she'd be her mother's devoted little darling, get along wonderfully with the Ninth Prince, her mother's son, and later bring comfort to Wu Cairen when she first entered the palace...

If she clung to the strongest legs in the Tang Dynasty, she could keep doing as she pleased there for another eighty years!

Later:

Li Shimin: Not a single young man in the households of my court officials is worthy of my beloved daughter!

Li Zhi: If her prince consort dares to bully Gaoyang, I won't let him get away with it!

Wu Zetian (smiling): I hear you've taken a fancy to a monk. What's the problem?

Li Mingyao: Σ(°Д°;

She doesn't like monks! She just wants to cling to powerful people and lie flat!
