Blurb:
Jiang Yeqing transmigrated thirteen years ago and resolved to become the most famous couch potato in the Great Rong dynasty.
One day, however, an imperial edict arrived, selecting the second daughter of the Jiang family, the Minister's household, to be the companion of the palace's least-favored Sixth Princess. She was to enter the palace that very day.
A companion at the Imperial Academy meant classes started at seven in the morning!
Jiang Yeqing, second daughter of the Minister's household: I don't want to.
After dragging her feet all the way to the palace, she discovered that the Sixth Princess she was to accompany had an absolutely stunning, cool, heroic beauty. She almost wanted to drop to her knees and call her “wife.”
Jiang Yeqing, beauty enthusiast: Actually, I do want to.
The Sixth Princess was beautiful and kind. She was a little cold at first, but gradually became more and more indulgent toward her. In name, Jiang Yeqing was the princess's companion and attendant. In reality, the princess waited on her every day.
Peach branches in early spring, melons and fruit in midsummer, popular storybooks, delicate pastries: there was nothing the Sixth Princess couldn't get her, no matter what Jiang Yeqing wanted.
Jiang Yeqing found herself a new place to laze around, and life couldn't have been more comfortable. Every day, she ate and drank, cuddling and clinging to the beautiful princess.
But as the years passed, the princess suddenly began to resist her physical affection.
Sometimes she would coldly tell Jiang Yeqing to get off her, then walk away without a word and not return for a long time.
Jiang Yeqing: What? Am I disgusting to look at?
Having lost the beauty's affection, Jiang Yeqing was quite heartbroken. She had also come of age, and her family had already chosen a match for her, so she pulled herself together and prepared to leave this place full of painful memories.
Her betrothed's family was rich and powerful, and they even let her sleep until five in the afternoon. Jiang Yeqing was quite satisfied and gradually forgot about the princess she had abandoned.
The princess was nearly in tears with anger. Eyes red, she asked, “He has everything I have. What is it you like about him?”
At first Jiang Yeqing didn't understand. He does have everything you have, but you're a girl!
Later, Jiang Yeqing stumbled into a hot spring and ran straight into the Sixth Princess bathing.
Then she saw the princess's huge pectoral muscles and her enormous...
Jiang Yeqing: ??? So that's what she meant by having everything?
Rong Jingxu grew up with the identity of a princess, unloved and enduring contempt.
It didn't matter. He would ascend the throne himself.
But at the spring banquet that year, he glimpsed from afar a face as lovely as a lotus, so enchanting it seemed to stun the world. The young woman's eyes shimmered like spring water, and he couldn't forget them.
Jiang Yeqing. He murmured and toyed with the name using his tongue and teeth.
Later, this famous, pampered beauty and good-for-nothing from the capital, the one who had made him fall at first sight, resolutely and decisively took his hand on the bloody road to the throne.
He knew she was neither a bird in a gilded cage nor a phoenix seated on the throne of the imperial harem.
She was a swan, a falcon, a smiling strategist with a blade concealed beneath her smile, the only woman to serve as chancellor in the history of Great Rong.
And also... the deepest desire he had been unable to put into words since his youth, a wildfire consuming the plains, a sun scorching his heart.
