Princess Zhao Mei was raised in luxury from childhood and was renowned as a delicate beauty.
When her prince consort conspired with others to rebel, it was the seemingly frail princess who took up a long sword and personally killed him, securing the throne for her young brother.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, rumors of Zhao Mei's scandalous romances spread through the streets.
The officials repeatedly submitted memorials accusing Zhao Mei of being debauched, tyrannical, and unworthy of being the emperor's eldest daughter. They joined forces with Wei Rongchuan, her former fiance, whom Zhao Mei had once loved and then abandoned, vowing to strip the power-hungry princess of her position.
The emperor turned a blind eye, further stoking the officials' resentment. They offered Wei Rongchuan all kinds of schemes, and he and Zhao Mei traded blows back and forth.
Then, one day at a banquet, the princess retched in front of all the officials. A censor immediately leapt to his feet and declared that the child in Zhao Mei's belly was illegitimate, undeniable proof that she had disgraced the royal family!
But as soon as the words left his mouth, someone else shot to their feet. The censor turned around and was horrified.
Everyone rumored to have had an affair with Zhao Mei had stood up.
The Duke of Wei's legitimate son, who was rumored to have spent the whole night at the princess's residence and not come home.
The newly risen powerbroker who had fought with a rival in the street over her.
And the greatest strategist in the world, whom Zhao Mei was said to have won over with her charms to secure her brother's throne!
But why was Wei Rongchuan standing among them too?!!

Coming soon: Historical romance, The Real Daughter Is Clueless
Ye Wenxi was lost as a child and raised in the countryside after a kindhearted person adopted her.
At eighteen, her birth father, the Duke of Cheng, brought her home. But the family also had an adopted daughter, whom a master had once declared a born good-luck charm.
The Duke of Cheng and his wife already doted on their adopted daughter. Now they believed Ye Wenxi had only been found thanks to the adopted girl's good fortune, and insisted the two girls call each other sisters.
The capital had been in turmoil, and after Ye Wenxi returned to the duke's residence, the imperial power changed hands and a new emperor took the throne.
Everyone said that no matter who sat on the throne, the position of crown princess would go to a daughter of the Duke of Cheng's household.
A few days later, news arrived that the new crown prince would indeed form a marriage alliance with the Duke of Cheng's family.
The Duke of Cheng decided that his birth daughter had only just returned from the countryside and was too uncouth to marry the crown prince, so he sent his adopted daughter to the emperor and crown prince instead.
That was when everyone in the capital learned that on the day the Duke of Cheng found Ye Wenxi, she had been chasing down and beating a thug with a club for trying to harass her.
People said, "Ye Wenxi isn't just uncouth, she's not even chaste. How could she become crown princess?"
But at the Mid-Autumn banquet, the crown prince treated Ye Wenxi with great care. He not only sat beside her, but poured her tea and served her food, indulging her in every way.
The Duke of Cheng hinted that Ye Wenxi was trying to steal her sister's husband.
Ye Wenxi hurriedly explained, "I didn't! The new crown prince was my adoptive older brother back in the countryside!"
The crown prince had long been fed up with his clueless "little sister". Smiling, he said, "That's right, but from now on, she'll be my crown princess."
Ye Wenxi: "?? Am I going to become my sister-in-law?"
Everyone: "!!!"
After the banquet, Ye Wenxi patted the crown prince on the shoulder and said with great loyalty, "Are you sick of being pressured into marriage, big brother? Don't worry, I'll shield you for now. When you find someone you like, I'll explain that we were only pretending."
The crown prince simply nodded with a smile.
Later, Ye Wenxi had no idea how she went from pretending to be the crown princess to actually becoming one...
