[The entire novel has been revised. The full text is only on Jinjiang.]
What happens when a sharp-tongued, haughty young lady transmigrates and becomes the most doted-on princess of the Great Yuan Dynasty?
The answer: The latest front-page headline in the Great Yuan Dynasty: [Princess Zhaoning Has Made Someone Cry Again, and Again, and Again]
The former emperor's relatives and high-ranking civil and military officials keep submitting memorials: The princess is illiterate, arrogant, and overbearing.
Noblewomen of the imperial clan, consorts, and palace officials keep sending petitions: The princess is spoiled and has disgraced the royal family.
Emperor and Empress: We want to teach her a lesson too, but our darling daughter is batting her eyelashes at us.
Those defended by Princess Zhaoning: The princess did nothing wrong! She was just speaking up for us after we were bullied!
Princess Zhaoning: Hmm... How can you blame me? They started it.
As Princess Zhaoning's fame spreads, more and more people line up outside the palace: I want Her Highness to be my mouthpiece today, too.
But praise inevitably attracts criticism. As Princess Zhaoning gains a huge following, doubts rise like crashing waves.
To appease the court's discontent and public opinion, the emperor decides to have the Grand Tutor, the most restrained and proper man at court, teach the princess.
But before long, everyone notices something is off:
Why has the Grand Tutor started joining the princess in roasting people? Wasn't he supposed to teach her proper manners and book learning? What happened to his stern manner and strict, upright principles?
Grand Tutor: Whatever my wife says is right. I'll always stand by her.
Everyone: ...
Reading Guide:
1. A fictional dynasty inspired by history. The author has researched historical materials, but there are many invented details.
2. The daily life of a sharp-tongued princess who has transmigrated. The story starts out a little slow.
3. A sweet 1v1 romance. The leads go from mutually unspoken feelings to choosing each other wholeheartedly.

Also known as The Crown Prince Really Doesn't Want to Attend Court
Shen Yujiao and her childhood friend Jiang Chen, her hapless partner in crime, transmigrated together. And not only did they transmigrate, they became the newlywed Crown Prince and Crown Princess.
Having grown up together since they were toddlers, some habits were ingrained in them, like the way they interacted every day.
Their unique dynamic made headlines the day after their wedding: The Crown Prince's personality changed for love, and he spoils his wife without limits.
The Crown Prince of old: Taciturn, aloof, and haughty. Nothing in this world concerns me.
From the emperor and empress down to the civil and military officials, everyone in the Great Xia Dynasty worries every day that the Crown Prince will see through the world's illusions, give up his position as heir, and become a monk.
The Crown Prince after the wedding: Jiao-jiao, have some water. Jiao-jiao, take it slow. Jiao-jiao, I was wrong. Punish me however you like, just please don't be angry.
Everyone, dumbfounded, thinks the Crown Prince has lost his mind. They all itch to test the waters, but cross the line and...
Jiang Chen: Don't come near me. Back off! How dare you speak to me in that tone? Do you think you're the Crown Princess?
To survive in the Great Xia Dynasty, these childhood friends and bickering sweethearts have no choice but to play their roles.
But there's a problem: The science-student Crown Prince knows nothing about politics or history, and can't answer a single question at court. His new bride, the Crown Princess, knows nothing about royal etiquette and loses every palace intrigue.
To shoulder their responsibilities, Shen Yujiao crams Jiang Chen on the essential liberal arts knowledge needed to attend court every weekday night.
On their days off, Jiang Chen helps Shen Yujiao practice how to become a proper Crown Princess.
They work so hard at studying late into the night that the Crown Prince and Crown Princess are both exhausted every day, with dark circles under their eyes that grow heavier by the hour.
The Empress advises the emperor: The young couple are so devoted to each other that they need to rest now and then. Don't make them race against time just to be alone. The future emperor and imperial heirs are the foundation of Great Xia.
The emperor agrees. With a wave of his hand, he gives the young couple a long holiday.
Shen Yujiao and Jiang Chen: We can do that?
Theme: No matter how unfair the world is, someone will always hold an umbrella over you.
In fact, it's not that I can't understand the heroine's thoughts, because she herself has traveled from modern times, but because the capital letters are so real, the heroine really gives me a feeling of being too naive. She clearly didn't believe anyone in her previous life. How come she suddenly traveled through time and became ignorant of the world? She only knew how to rush forward with passion. If there weren't so many people behind the heroine who love her and are willing to protect her, she should have received the lunch box long ago. Moreover, she has traveled through time for so long, and she still does not regard herself as a person in this world. Although she has no memory of the first half of her original life, she has been here for a year. Has she not realized that she is a person living in this body? She just stands up for this and that without hesitation. I was attracted by the copywriting at first, but the full text and copywriting are a little bit off. Although I was looking forward to it at the beginning, I was really thinking about a question, that is, didn't the heroine lack love in her previous life? Why do so many people love her now? How could she not care about the feelings of the people around her at all? Yes, she knew those people were pitiful and those people looked like her, but if she couldn't protect herself well and someone else came to clean up the mess, there was really no need.
The queen must be safe!
God, this BE aesthetic is really...
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the princess is so cool
Ah, this son of the Zhu family is so irritating!
Okay, keep writing! Come on
Dear little cuties! The new article is now open, please bookmark the column!
No wonder the queen has such a preference for Zhao Ning... Ugh
I'm numb, I'm numb, I'm numb, I thought it was sisterly affection, but I didn't expect it to be love.
How could my favorite male lead be so miserable?
