The day the city fell, A Fu went from the fallen princess Xie Xiqiao to the fallen crown prince Xie Zhenliu.
Although she was forced into it.
But being a man wasn't so bad.
She no longer had to protect her virtue by begging to die, nor wag her tail and beg for her life.
Her mother hoped she would keep a low profile and wait for the right moment to act.
The new emperor demanded that she behave herself and keep her head down.
A Fu refused.
With every day that passed, she had one less day to live. She might as well become the greatest wastrel under heaven.
Arrogant and unrestrained, doing whatever she pleased.
"Your Majesty! The Duke of Anle rode through the streets today, and got into another fight with General Qu!"
"Y-Your Majesty! Yesterday, the Duke of Anle broke into the Grand Tutor's residence, left a wild goose behind, and declared that the Grand Tutor was now his third concubine!"
"Y-Your M-Majesty! The Duke of Anle announced in front of the entire court that she is a woman, and-and that she's carrying the Imperial Preceptor's child!"
The new emperor's face turned livid. What a menace. He'd better take care of this troublemaker himself!
Reading Guide:
1. The heroine is desperately starved for affection, charms men and women alike, loves teasing cats and dogs, and is full of false affection, without a single sincere feeling. The hero is decisive and devoted to the world; cold at first, then a convert to love. A shameless hypocrite with a double standard.
2. The main story isn't as lighthearted as the blurb, especially early on, when the heroine has just lost her country and family. Overall, though, it isn't too heavy, and it has a happy ending.
3. The heroine has a slight everyone-loves-her quality and also disguises herself as a man, so you know what that means!
