Has the Grand Princess Divorced Today?

[Pre-release: The Dog Emperor Seems to Be Acting Strange, blurb at the end]

Pretend-fragile Eldest Princess Shen Zhao x genuinely lovestruck, refined heir Xie Zhuo

Rumor has it that the Sage Emperor dotes exclusively on Princess Zhaoyi, Shen Zhao.

But only Shen Zhao knows that in this palace, she has no one to rely on. She can survive only by constantly guessing the emperor’s thoughts, walking on thin ice at every turn.

So when Shen Zhao learns that she is the wicked supporting female character in a story, she secretly resolves never to turn evil!

When the heroine, Qin Luoheng, is bullied by other princesses and noble young women, Shen Zhao is always the first to step in and help her.

When the male and female leads quarrel over one misunderstanding or another, Shen Zhao is always the first to try to make peace.

And when she learns that Qin Luoheng is reborn and plans to give up the male lead, Wei Zidu, and choose the second male lead, Xie Zhuo, Shen Zhao graciously steps aside and gives up her childhood sweetheart, retreating tactfully. “Then I’ll leave?”

Xie Zhuo just can’t understand why the young woman who had thrown herself into his arms the day before, crying with tear-filled eyes, turned around the next day and petitioned to marry the heir of Prince Pingqin.

He had thought that the girl he had doted on for over a decade had finally understood his feelings. He was so happy he couldn’t sleep all night, and even woke his mother in the middle of the night to draw up the list of gifts for marrying a princess.

Being tortured to death would have been no worse. But it didn’t matter. He was still young, and he could wait.

And so, the purple-robed heir of the Marquis of Ziyun, as graceful as spring willows and clouds, began counting the days on his fingers, asking every day: Has the princess divorced yet?

This is the story of a supporting female character who awakens and is just about to pull herself together and focus on her career when a lovestruck heir drags her down from her pedestal halfway through.

After the princess gets married:

A moment ago, Xie Zhuo had shaken off Shen Zhao’s hand, his gaze cold and his voice low. “Shen Zhao, you’d better not push me too far. What makes you think I could still love a woman who’s been married before?”

Shen Zhao looked up. “Are you hurt? Don’t move. Let me bandage you first.”

Xie Zhuo, inwardly: She loves me so much! My attempt to turn evil has failed.

Reader’s Guide:

1. Both leads are each other’s first, happy ending.

New pre-release, The Dog Emperor Seems to Be Acting Strange, blurb:

A cool, indifferent young emperor x a princess sent to marry for peace who failed to give up and coast through life

Word is that the nation of Nanlin recently lost a war and sent a princess to marry for peace. She looks exactly like the late emperor’s beloved, his first love.

The palace maids whisper among themselves: “Every time Nanlin loses a war, they send a princess who looks like the late princess to marry for peace. This is the eighth one. How long do you think this one will last?”

Everyone agrees: A month, no longer.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yixuan not only survives a month, but becomes the new empress of Beiyuan.

The usually cool and indifferent young emperor now acts spoiled with his new empress every day after court. “I’m so tired from reviewing memorials today, Sister. Give me a hug.”

Even Shen Yixuan thinks something is off. That dog emperor who used to grab her by the throat and pick fights with her all day, why has he suddenly started doing everything she says?

-

She still remembers her first days in the imperial palace of Beiyuan. She carefully hid her strength, waiting for a chance to act, but before she could even get started, the dog emperor caught her red-handed.

“Xie Xiyan sent you to steal the military defense map, didn’t he?”

Xiao Huaiyan gave a cold laugh, his expression scornful. His long, bony fingers were already resting on her throat. “You? As if.”

Later, all she did was casually praise the new top-scoring scholar from the water towns of Jiangnan, and the dog emperor sat in the pavilion in the middle of the lake for two hours, silent beneath the falling snow.

By the time Shen Yixuan heard about it and rushed over, he had wrapped his arms tightly around her waist, his chin resting on her shoulder as he asked, aggrieved, “Sister, do you regret choosing me?”

Later, Shen Yixuan heard from someone else that the fierce young emperor had apparently admired her secretly for many, many years.

-

At court, someone falsely accused the new empress of showing disrespect to the gods and Buddha.

The young emperor didn’t even raise his eyelids. His expression was calm as he said, “Then let her show disrespect.”

Xiao Huaiyan would never forget that day. As a child, he had hidden beneath the Buddhist altar and watched helplessly as those women drove his empress mother to her death.

Back then, the gods and Buddhas had shown him no mercy or compassion. Only that frail woman had embraced him from behind, slowly covering his eyes with hands that were already trembling uncontrollably.

Seven years ago, she was a moon he could only gaze at.

Seven years later, how fortunate he was to hold the moon in his arms.

Reader’s Guide:

1. Both leads are strong, and each other’s first. Sweet romance, happy ending.

2. The male lead is especially awful at first. Once he realizes who she is, he must win her back, transforming into the ultimate devoted puppy and a lovestruck fool.

3. I’m already working on the manuscript. If you like it, you can add it to your collection~
