The Emperor's Daughter Is Cold-Hearted

A twisted tale of love and hate, with a ruthless, ambitious female lead posing as a eunuch and a morally upright male lead who's cold on the outside but warm within.

Regent Lu Xichao has fallen from power. He has been sentenced to death, but his family has been spared, in a display of imperial grace.

The greatest contributor to the case against the regent was naturally the factory chief, Xu Qingshu. People said that despite her young age and beautiful face, she was deep-hearted and ruthless, and even Lu Xichao, who had held power as regent for seven years, couldn't defeat her.

Now the factory chief looked down at the corpse of her old enemy, who had struggled against her for three years and was now abandoned in the wilderness. Her face was calm, but she was turning over a question that hit like a crashing wave.

After drinking the poisoned wine, Lu Xichao still had a faint breath left.

Only she knew this secret.

In the end, she reached out and brought her old enemy home, barely clinging to life.

"He can't die yet. I still have something to ask him."

She wanted to know whose name had been written on the succession edict on the night the late emperor died seven years ago.

Was it my father, the Crown Prince, or this hot-tempered, ungrateful third uncle?

Or perhaps none of that mattered.

"If you could help my good-for-nothing third uncle secure the throne, then you can repay me with a throne of my own."

And surely it was only right to collect a little interest as well.

So, when Lu Xichao opened his eyes, he saw the orphaned daughter of the late Crown Prince, secretly kept in the factory chief's residence. She gazed at him with sorrowful, glistening eyes. "I've had a terrible life, Lord Lu. Does that make you happy?"
