Struggling to Survive in a Novel About a Fallen Kingdom

Bad news: Li Xin transmigrated into the prince of the Kingdom of Li, a boy in disguise, confined to the cold palace and forced to make do with scraps.

Good news: The other princes killed one another off, leaving her the only heir. Now it was her turn to rise to power.

After Li Xin worked hard to keep her secret identity hidden and shakily ascended the throne, she discovered she'd transmigrated into a book.

In three months, the Kingdom of Li would be destroyed, and the three kingdoms would unite soon after.

Thinking of her fate in the book, where she leaped from the city walls to die for her country, Li Xin felt a headache coming on.

She didn't want to die. She figured she could keep hiding out a little longer.

First, she had to establish diplomatic relations with the equally unfortunate Kingdom of Luo and stop the Kingdom of Sheng from pushing south.

But as she tried to keep a low profile, the population of Li grew explosively.

In the end, she became the ruler in all but name.

Could Li Xin say that all she had wanted from the start was to stay alive a little longer?

And could the emperor of the neighboring kingdom stop staring at her like that? She, she really was a man!
