[This is a planned novel. The blurb is tentative. Warning: the female lead disguises herself as a man!]
After a sudden upheaval, Chancellor Wei died unexpectedly, and everyone waited to see the Wei family become a laughingstock.
Then the eldest Wei son, who had been sick at home, stepped forward to enroll at the Imperial Academy and take the civil service exams.
Watching her cough with every step, people privately thought she would probably die before they even had to lift a finger.
But she had been coughing for years. She coughed her way from the Imperial Academy to the position of chancellor. Everyone who wanted her dead died, while she lived longer than anyone else...

The dashing, free-spirited Sixth Prince despised weak, delicate young gentlemen, especially someone like the eldest Wei son, who seemed ready to topple over in a breeze.
But later, he was willing to give up his freedom just to protect her.
Little scene:
Before entering the Imperial Academy, Wei Le'an had an absurd dream. In it, she would be driven to despair over a fiancé she'd never even met, and would even reveal her identity?!
After waking with a start, she silently vowed to focus on her career and never let love hold her back.
A certain prince: "crying" What do I do if my wife doesn't want to date me???
Cool, reserved female chancellor x dashing, free-spirited Sixth Prince
Theme: I will overturn the court myself
