After the Glutton Became a Princess Consort

Overnight, after transmigrating, Zhang Zongyan found herself in the body of the only surviving "man" in the general's household, which had been wiped out by imperial decree.

But she was, in fact, a woman.

In the past, the family had been implicated in treason against the previous dynasty, forcing everyone in the household to live with constant caution.

Now, the new emperor had ordered her to marry a domineering princess, leaving her future uncertain.

Zhang Zongyan admitted that the pressure was real, but it wouldn't stop her from eating, drinking, and reading storybooks.

There was just one thing that troubled her.

Once she was married, how was she supposed to do her duty in bed?

*

After the wedding, before Zhang Zongyan could summon a male companion to serve in the princess's chambers, the princess lifted her veil and revealed her secret identity.

Hey! Her sweet, gentle little bride had turned out to be her domineering, swaggering sworn brother.

Zhang Zongyan: What could she do? He was already here.

*

Zhang Zongyan had thought the princess was cold on the outside and colder on the inside.

She never expected him to risk falling off a cliff to save her after she was injured.

Certain the princess was dead, Zhang Zongyan was overcome with grief. "Your Highness, I will avenge you."

Then she set up a memorial tablet for herself, disguised her identity, changed into the princess's clothes, and entered the palace.

Revenge: It starts with a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman.

A little scene:

Many years later.

The princess's sworn brother launched a rebellion and stormed the palace. Looking at Empress Zhang Zongyan on the throne, he didn't know what to say.

Zhang Zongyan: Big Brother, what do you think? Did I do a good job pretending to be you?

The princess stared at her in disbelief. "Didn't you die? I've burned incense at your grave every year!"

Zhang Zongyan was overjoyed. "Didn't you die? I've burned incense at your grave every year too!"

Zhang Zongyan and the princess's sworn brother: Let's sort this out. It's all a bit confusing.

Reader advisory: One-on-one romance, both leads' first time, a sweet little confection with a touch of angst. Many liberties have been taken with the setting. The author always finishes what they start, so enjoy without worry.

Theme: Life is full of surprises.
