The Prince Seized the Throne Behind My Back

Also known as: I Dropped Out of the Race for Fame and Fortune, Then My Secret Identity Was Exposed

Blurb 1

Zhu Nanqing is the most successful woman to ever pass herself off as a man.

As Xie Huai’s advisor, she works diligently every day, disguised as a page and trailing right behind him, running around and doing everything she can to help him rise to the highest ranks of court.

“What? Someone has framed Xie Huai!”

She counters by laying out all the evidence against them, then has them sentenced to death!

“What? Someone is trying to make Xie Huai marry into another family!”

She casually grabs a man and swaps him in, fulfilling the other party’s dream of marrying off their daughter!

While keeping her secret identity under wraps, she knows Xie Huai inside and out. They understand each other perfectly, work together seamlessly, and make all their wishes come true. They’re a perfect pair...

At last, thanks to her efforts, Xie Huai becomes a celebrated minister, recorded in the history books and remembered for generations.

Zhu Nanqing curls her lip and points at her thick black hair. “I said I’d keep my promise. I wasn’t bragging. I really am that clever!”

Then she suddenly discovers that Xie Huai intends to usurp the throne.

Zhu Nanqing, completely baffled: What happened to our perfect teamwork and understanding? Have I been blind all this time? I’m my master’s trusted confidante, yet he’s been plotting to seize the throne behind my back? A celebrated minister wants to take the throne. What should I do? Help! Asking online!

With the coup imminent and the outcome already decided, Zhu Nanqing resolves to leave the capital.

Zhu Nanqing thought they would part on good terms.

But! Can someone tell her who the man standing in front of her is?

Xie Huai, who chased her a thousand miles, says on the surface: “Don’t think I won’t recognize you just because you’re wearing women’s clothes!”

(But in truth, he’s full of wicked ideas: Zhu Nanqing made him fall for a man, then abandoned him. He can put up with it, but she can’t!)

From then on, Zhu Nanqing teeters wildly on the brink of having her secret identity exposed every day!

Xie Huai: The fun is in keeping things exciting.

The two things Zhu Nanqing remembers most about her life:

First, disguising herself as a man and making a name for herself in the capital, captivating thousands of young women.

Second, taking her gratitude too far and putting the person she owed a debt to directly on the throne.

If asked what she regrets least in her life, she would say going to the capital to find Xie Huai.

If asked what the most thrilling thing she ever did was, she would say:

Zhu Nanqing: Almost making Xie Huai fall for a man.

The two things Xie Huai is most satisfied with in his life:

First, enduring hardship all the way through, killing his enemy with his own hands, and rising to power.

Second, finding someone who could enjoy the splendor of the world by his side.

If asked what the greatest challenge he ever faced was, he would say:

Xie Huai: My feelings for Zhu Nanqing.

If asked what the biggest decision he ever made was, he would say:

Xie Huai: Making myself fall for a man! Especially since she ran away just when I was about to succeed!

One night, the two sit on the roof of the Hall of Mental Cultivation drinking wine. Zhu Nanqing asks, “So, when did you figure out I was a woman?”

Xie Huai smiles bitterly. He’d already prepared himself to fall for a man.

P.S. Plenty of chapters are already written, so feel free to let them build up!
