I Mistook the Grand Princess for a Concubine and Kept Her

[A doting, possessive billionaire CEO who accidentally bankrolls his wife’s rise to the throne x a scheming, sharp-minded beauty who plays the clueless darling in private and a formidable heroine in the political arena, younger woman, sweet romance, fictional ancient setting]

After Wen Zhuojin, daughter of the former Marchioness of the Jing’an Marquis household, loses her support when her maternal uncle’s family falls into ruin, her engagement to the heir of the Duke of Rong’s household is stolen by her younger stepsister.

After the engagement is broken, rumors spread that Wen Zhuojin is weeping at home. In disguise, she goes to a brothel in the western market of Yunjing, buys the freedom of a courtesan who has never served a client, and keeps her in a house she purchased, treating her like a priceless treasure.

Everyone assumes that the engagement stolen from Wen Zhuojin was one she had wanted to end all along.

That is because Wen Zhuojin has no interest in men. She only loves women, especially beautiful, mature women older than herself.

The beauty she brought home is everything she could have wished for.

To support her beauty, Wen Zhuojin works hard at business and makes money, lavishing her with food, clothing, and comforts more extravagant than those enjoyed by the palace nobility.

But Wen Zhuojin feels she owes her beauty an apology because she cannot publicly give her a proper title.

When Wen Zhuojin enters the palace to meet a noble and offer a generous sum in exchange for an honorific for her beauty, she sees the reigning dynasty’s Grand Princess.

The Grand Princess wears a hibiscus crown and dark, clear Daoist robes, holding a horsetail whisk. Her bearing is like a snow-covered mountain sealed in ice, noble and aloof, untouched by worldly concerns.

Rumor has it that at fifteen, the Grand Princess placed her young brother on the throne, quelled rebellions, subdued neighboring kingdoms, and wielded power with ruthless decisiveness. Everyone both fears and respects her.

She is also the woman Wen Zhuojin fears most.

While everyone else kneels to pay their respects, Wen Zhuojin stares at the Grand Princess in utter shock, trembling all over.

Can someone tell her why the Grand Princess looks exactly like her delicate, helpless beauty of a big sister!!!

At twenty, Grand Princess Yan Qinglan entered the Daoist order as a priestess and vowed never to marry. She never expected that at twenty-six, she would be accidentally poisoned and blinded, then coaxed home by a sweet-voiced young woman.

At the time, Yan Qinglan was trapped in a difficult situation. When she drew near the young woman, the faint fragrance on her brought some relief from the pain of the poison taking effect. So Yan Qinglan went along with her and returned to her home, wanting to find out what the young woman was after.

The young woman did want something from Yan Qinglan, but it was completely different from what Yan Qinglan had imagined.

Exquisite delicacies, fine clothes, and lavish care beyond all measure: in just a few days, Yan Qinglan was pampered into becoming even fairer, softer, and more stunningly beautiful.

All the young woman wanted was a taste of her beauty.

“Big Sister, kiss me.”

“Big Sister, hold me.”

“Big Sister, cuddle up with me.”

Day after day, that sweet voice, tinged with a coquettish whine, clung to her ear.

Yan Qinglan gradually grew addicted to it. Even after her eyesight returned, she continued to be the young woman’s “kept lover” while stirring up the court and battling for power.

Once Wen Zhuojin realizes that Grand Princess Yan Qinglan and her beautiful big sister are the same person, she packs her belongings and makes a run for it in the middle of the night. But before she can even get out of the city gates, the imperial guards surround her.

Wen Zhuojin watches the woman she once teased until she cried, coaxing her into all sorts of intimate acts, approach with fury radiating from her.

“A-Zhuo, if you leave, who will be my empress?”

Wen Zhuojin thinks the other woman is about to kill her. Instead, Yan Qinglan embraces her and whispers in her ear.

#The cover shows the Grand Princess during her act as a sweet, delicate darling. The characters are not custom-made or unique.

#Fictional ancient setting, no rebirth or transmigration, no children, they are each other’s one and only, HE.

#From love at first sight to mutual affection, a little power imbalance, read with caution if that bothers you.

#The romance is the main focus, with a small amount of court politics.
