The Rise of a Mama's Girl Princess

Princess Xie Zhaoyuan of Dayong had a shadow that never left her heart: the commoner girl Meng Yuran.

The icy Song Jinhuai, whom Xie Zhaoyuan had loved for years, fell under Meng Yuran's spell at first sight.

The court ministers who had always treated the princess coldly regarded Meng Yuran as their own daughter.

The people of Jijin, who had criticized the princess for being spoiled and willful, treated Meng Yuran like a goddess.

Xie Zhaoyuan refused to accept it, and the result was a gruesome death.

Only after reaching the underworld did Xie Zhaoyuan learn that she was just a supporting character in a story, a minor sacrifice whose sole purpose was to set off the heroine and bring the main couple closer.

The underworld's gods told her that if she wanted to live a good life as a minor character, she should stay away from the protagonists.

Xie Zhaoyuan took their advice to heart. After being reborn, she became Empress Yan's devoted mama's girl. She listened to her mother, stopped liking Song Jinhuai, and set out to be a good princess.

And most importantly, she would marry Huan You, her mother's choice.

The young lord Huan was born to wealth and privilege, radiant as the sun. He rode through the capital in fine clothes, and girls tossed flowers at him all along the way.

One day, he noticed that the little princess had shifted her gaze from his friend to him.

Well, that was quite enticing.

At last, after going from blushingly testing the waters to see if they could hold hands to openly making out at the city gate, Xie Zhaoyuan realized in horror:

Meng Yuran was bullying her even worse than in her previous life!

She thought back over everything that had happened, her face turning deathly pale with fright.

Could Huan You actually be the male lead paired with Meng Yuran in that story?!

Crying so hard she could barely breathe in Huan You's arms, Xie Zhaoyuan said, "I can't do this. I can't beat her. She's the heroine!"

Huan You gently patted the woman in his arms. "She can't take me away. She can't."

And so Xie Zhaoyuan wiped away her tears and, trembling all over, went head-to-head with the great heroine Meng Yuran.

From Jijin to the frontier, from one person's life to the safety of half a city; plotting for country and love, fighting to survive and find answers; schemes and countermeasures intertwined, courage and timidity in a constant struggle.

The innocent, naive princess of years past had never imagined she could reach such a place.

"Meng Yuran, I used to be so afraid of you. But I don't know when it happened: you're no longer in my eyes."

A growing-up princess who died horribly in her previous life and now only wants to be a mama's girl: timid, but not entirely timid * A proud young lord with a gentle, dazzling exterior and a hidden, obsessive streak, all devoted to stopping anyone from splitting him up with his beloved. A possessive husband through and through.

Theme: Even mama's girls can rise up.
