[Don't start reading yet, this is unfinished and being revised]
After the crown prince died for no apparent reason, Li Xiangjun, who had impersonated a prince since childhood, took her place in the Eastern Palace.
The new crown prince acted arrogantly, throwing the whole court into chaos.
Even Pei Cheng, head of the powerful Pei family, was given a humiliating welcome by the crown prince as soon as he returned to the capital.
Pei Cheng wasn't intimidated. Calmly, he ordered someone to cripple the crown prince's horse.
From then on, the two became sworn enemies, constantly at each other's throats and seemingly intent on killing one another.
Those unhappy about the young crown prince's succession eagerly awaited their fighting each other to a standstill. But what they heard instead was that the head of the Pei family had turned gay!?
[The heroine's version]
Determined to uncover the truth behind her elder brother's death, Li Xiangjun would stop at nothing, even using herself as bait and putting herself in danger.
One day, she fell into a trap and her identity as a woman was exposed. Facing her sworn enemy Pei Cheng, her clothes soaked with sweat and her body trembling, she still held a dagger to his throat. "Do as I say, or I'll send you to meet the King of Hell right now!"
Pei Cheng, who had always met her every barb with one of his own, stared at her in a daze for a long while. Then he said softly, "...Tell me what to do. I'll do as you say."
Li Xiangjun: ?
[The hero's version]
Pei Cheng came to Shengjing for only two reasons.
First, to draw out and bring down the rival who had profited from the former crown prince's death. Second, to look after the beloved younger sister the crown prince had once mentioned.
Dealing with the young crown prince wasn't exactly simple, but she couldn't make waves beyond his control.
Later, he realized just how wrong he'd been.
He would rather be wrapped around her little finger.
Bonus scene one:
After accidentally falling victim to the Half-Month Gu, Li Xiangjun couldn't kill Pei Cheng for the time being, so she kept him in the palace to treat the poison during the latter half of each month.
Pei Cheng obeyed her in everything. On guard, she said, "I still prefer the way you used to look at me when you wanted to kill me."
Pei Cheng lifted his dewy eyes and said hoarsely, "I won't interfere in the Ministry of Personnel's affairs. I can open the grain routes too."
Li Xiangjun's heart stirred. Then she saw the look in her sworn enemy's eyes darken as he asked, "Your Highness, do you still want me to kill you?"
Bonus scene two:
When political enemies shouted insults, Li Xiangjun said, "Kill them."
When rioters caused trouble, Li Xiangjun said, "Beat them."
When Pei Cheng tried to dissuade her, Li Xiangjun said, "...Speak properly. Don't whisper in my ear at night!"
Li Xiangjun cared nothing for life or death, her reputation, or whether she could hold on to her position in the Eastern Palace. She was driven by revenge.
But Pei Cheng cared about her safety and her reputation, and wanted her to be remembered in history for her great renown.
Reading guide:

Urgent update, originally because I waited too long for an update, I canceled the collection one day. In 2026, I forgot the title of the book, the author, and the name of the protagonist. But I have always been obsessed with the plot of this book. I got up in the middle of the night and read through books of the same type one by one. I was looking for it and found it again. When I found it, my heart beat faster. Even though it has not been updated yet, I hope the author will have the opportunity to write this book down in the future. It is really beautiful and touching. It is a book that I like very much 🙏 🙏
I really like this story and hope to continue following it
I'm still here, can you update a chapter every week? 😭
Can you please don't give up on this one? I'm going to cry... I've finished reading the author's book "Wrong Tease" and I still like it very much. It seems like I'm about to fall into the trap of not reading any novels again.
Remember to come back if you feel it, it looks good|???)っ??
It's been half a year since I came back to watch 😭 When will Dada continue to update?
Oh my god. I hope there will be a follow-up, I really want to see Gouzi fall in love one-sidedly
In fact, I can feel that the frequency of updating every two days has reduced the pleasure of reading the complex plot in one breath. The early stages are too big and doomed. If you want the plot to be logical and complete, the author must have strong writing skills and rich writing experience. Otherwise, I believe the author feels right. When I started reading the characters in the book, I was actually led by a falling horse. When it came to the falling horse plot, it felt different from what I expected at the beginning. Maybe I am not suitable for serialization, or maybe I can feel the author's inability to do what he wants. So it doesn't matter. I am not connected with this article now. I will continue it if I have the chance.
Recently, I like to read this kind of strong confrontation and lover-turning type. I will read a book like this when I have time. It can also be about intrigues in the court. It doesn't need to be very big. I really like the large writing style and character settings.
