The Grand Princess's Guide to Survival [Book Transmigration]

[Busy watching the moon. I'll fill this in when I get back!]

[Powerful Grand Princess x doting young chancellor]

In the original novel, the Grand Princess held power over the court all her life, only to die at the hands of the current chancellor, Shang Yan.

“Ding-dong!”

System: [Your transmigration-into-a-book system has been activated.]

Li Jinping opened her eyes and found herself in the body of the sixteen-year-old Grand Princess.

That year, the Grand Princess's younger brother was still a harmless little emperor, and Chancellor Shang Yan was still a courteous, upstanding man.

Determined to survive in the book, on her first day ruling from behind the curtain, Li Jinping waved a hand and declared, “Go ahead and scheme against each other, fight for power, take revenge for your grudges and seek justice for your wrongs. I'm done with all that. I just want to live!”

But the System wasn't having it.

System: [Your words and actions have triggered a hidden storyline. Please work to raise the affection of those around you and keep advancing the plot, or the System will deactivate your survival mode.]

Deactivate survival mode?

Just say you want me dead!

Not wanting to die, Li Jinping began winning over the young emperor, currying favor with the Grand Tutor, and constantly raising the affection of those around her. With her knowledge of the original novel, she breezed through every challenge.

Except whenever she saw Shang Yan, she wanted to cry. Getting my sworn enemy to like me is practically impossible, isn't it?

And yet...

Li Jinping ate a candied hawthorn stick.

System: [Shang Yan's affection for you has increased.]

Li Jinping wore a new hairpin.

System: [Shang Yan's affection for you has reached its peak.]

Li Jinping smiled at Shang Yan.

System: [Shang Yan's affection for you is about to explode!]

Li Jinping swallowed. “What the heck does ‘about to explode’ mean?”

It meant this:

Shang Yan, whom Li Jinping had fought tooth and nail in the original novel, seemed like a completely different person. He bought her candied hawthorn sticks, made her tangyuan, and took the memorials from her hands, saying with a thoughtful expression, “Princess, reading memorials at night is hard on your eyes. Let me take a look.”

Only when Shang Yan's wedding gifts arrived in a long procession at the Grand Princess's residence did Li Jinping finally understand. “Were you reborn?”

I've always wanted to write a story about a princess in a prosperous age. Now, here it is.
