The Beloved Princess Is Forced to Ascend the Throne

[A cozy, doting family story about raising a child. Not a story about a powerful female lead]

A little one who died of illness in the modern era becomes Jiang Ying, a newborn princess in a fictional ancient dynasty. She has a Talent Cultivation System that lets her see which talents other people have unlocked and which remain dormant.

Huh, this consort has the [Assassin] talent!

The palace lady who serves Mother Empress has the [Strategist] skill. Wow, it can even be upgraded to [Chancellor]!

That little eunuch who loves gossip can be upgraded to [Chief Eunuch]. That little beggar has a dormant skill called [Conquer New Lands]. That young guard's skill is [Uncanny Detective]...

Everyone in this world has dazzling talents, but not everyone can discover them, and not everyone gets the chance to put them to use.

The little princess wants to help them discover their talents and give them that chance. She works hard to help everyone level up and unlock skills, delighting in watching them grow.

Then one day, as she proudly surveys the outstanding people she has nurtured, Mother Empress suddenly asks her:

"Sweetie, do you want to sit on the throne?"

Huh?

-

In a treacherous and chaotic court, a new faction has taken root, with members spread throughout the realm.

Among them are a young general of humble origins who commands troops like a master, nobles who have made a powerful comeback after falling from favor, and highly praised officials governing the frontier...

But they all serve the same noble: the little princess who loves her people as if they were her own children.

Looking back from their lofty positions, these newly risen figures at court will never forget that when they were at their lowest, it was those warm, tender little hands that pulled them up, helped them escape the mire and brush off the dust, discovered their talents, showed them the way, and gave them wholehearted support, asking for nothing in return as they helped them fulfill their potential, rise to greatness, and advance to success.

They can never repay such kindness. All they can do is...

Your Highness, please ascend the throne!

A few things to know before reading:

1. This is a light, easygoing story about a child being doted on as she grows up. The adults raise the child, and the child raises the adults. I'm no good at court intrigue, so there probably won't be any. The main plot is roughly about the little one winning over the officials and palace consorts, a bright little sun with an eye for talent raising a whole bunch of SSR characters and being doted on by all, with ascending the throne as the ultimate goal.

2. She's too young for romance, so there are no couples.

3. This is an absolutely, ridiculously, super fictional setting! It's not realistic!

4. The title and blurb are subject to revision. The cover uses a template image, and the character designs are not unique.
