Princess Yuanjia

Yan Yuanjia was traveling to clear her mind when she arrived at an obscure tourist site.

The guide was talking about an obscure dynasty from history.

Yan Yuyu, the ruler at the height of the Great Qi Dynasty.

A tyrant who led armies into battle himself... a deranged emperor who married his own younger sister.

She transmigrated into the body of Princess Yuanjia, who shared her name, and found herself facing the young emperor.

Yan Yuanjia was relieved: At least he married Princess Ningyi.

Until one day:

She watched with her own eyes as Princess Ningyi was sent to the wasteland by the emperor for plundering court officials.

She casually remarked that the fruit from the Hu people was pretty good, and the emperor ordered a messenger to ride at full speed, sending a beauty a thousand miles.

[Could she be that unlucky princess?]

Yuanjia stared at the fruit delivered overnight across the city, eyes full of terror. This humble younger sister is most unworthy.

The emperor: No appetite?

The emperor: I rode a thousand miles for my beauty. Is Yuanjia satisfied?

Yuanjia knelt, trembling all over. This humble younger sister wouldn't dare.

Daily life:

The emperor slammed his inkstone onto the desk. "Flooding in Jiangzhou... A pack of useless fools!"

Yuanjia was ordered to bring the emperor a late-night snack, and went unwillingly.

The emperor looked up. "Have you taken a fancy to Attendant Cui?"

His powerful arm swept the entire inkstone table to the ground. "Yan Yuanjia, I'm no good man!"

Ignoring the terror in Yan Yuanjia's eyes, the emperor tore down the curtain...

Yuanjia, eyes brimming with tears, tried to reason with him. "Imperial brother, the court officials are outside. How can you..."

The emperor leaned over her. "Oh? Then call out louder. Let's see who dares come save you."

Reader's Guide:

- Both leads are each other's only partners, happy ending.

- Princess Ningyi is the emperor's biological younger sister. Yuanjia isn't, and they aren't related by blood. The emperor knows they're not siblings.

- The emperor is ruthless and decisive, not ruled by love. This isn't a sweet romance, read with caution.

- Please read the warnings carefully. The story matches the blurb exactly.

Coming Soon [1]: Princess Meng Zhi's Political Marriage

A weak country has no voice in diplomacy. Meng Zhi was a sacrifice for the State of Zhou, sent into a political marriage when she was only a teenager.

The Crown Prince of Great Liao was twenty-six, spirited and confident. But he had long been in love with his cousin, a secondary consort. Not only that, he already had a ten-year-old son.

The Crown Prince rarely visited her. She missed home and grew sick with sorrow. After the State of Zhou was annexed, she soon wasted away and died.

The servants in the residence were snobbish, but her stepson had sincerely called her "Mother" a few times.

After living again, she saw everything clearly. She would build up her own influence and, first of all, survive. Only then would she be able to secure a future for the people of her country.

Little Scene:

She stays by her stepson's side when he's ill.

When the weather turns cold, she goes to the school to bring him clothes.

One day:

The Crown Prince arrives at Meng Zhi's residence drunk.

As the two struggle, an attendant knocks on the door. "Your Highness, His Majesty is investigating the matter of the imperial tomb's construction..."

After the Crown Prince leaves, her stepson opens the door. "Mother, were you frightened? May your son stay by your side tonight... and fulfill his filial duty?"

After that night, there was no turning back...
