The Nine Princes Are Stealing My Screen?! You Guys, Stop Listening to My Thoughts! Don't You Have Minds of Your Own?

Qin Zhao is the only legitimate son of the Great Yu dynasty, and is widely known throughout the empire as the pampered little wastrel doted on by the emperor and empress.

But no one knows that Qin Zhao is a transmigrated woman with memories of a past life. The empress has her pretend to be a boy so she can enjoy the fiefdom she will one day receive as a prince. Qin Zhao herself has no interest in the throne. She treats the System like a short-video app, passing the days in ancient times by watching lowbrow, over-the-top, mindless skits.

What Qin Zhao doesn't know is that the videos she watches are shared and projected into the eyes of her royal brothers, who are locked in a struggle for the throne.

At three years old, Qin Zhao is carried by Emperor Wen onto the golden throne to sit beside him. When the child coughs and spits up milk, the emperor himself cleans her up.

For the eldest prince, this becomes an unforgettable day. Something from nowhere latches onto him like a ghost.

Right before his eyes, visible but untouchable, a scoundrel with his face acts out a "tyrannical emperor flying into a rage for the sake of his beloved."

["Woman, you're playing with fire." "Look, this is the empire I conquered for you." "An urgent dispatch has brought the lychees Zitong loves, over eight hundred li in a day." "Zitong and I will rule the world together."]

At seven, Qin Zhao sleeps so soundly in the Imperial Academy that she loses all sense of time. Emperor Wen checks on her, sees her fast asleep, and doesn't get angry. He carries her as he quizzes his other sons on their studies, the distinction between father and son, ruler and subject, clear as day.

The eighth prince, who entered school just one year before Qin Zhao and excelled at reciting his lessons, remembers that day with searing clarity. Years later, he still can't forget it.

Because the monster who looked exactly like him was actually in a tragic romance with the third prince, the one he hated most!

["The throne means nothing to me compared to you." "Father is old. He won't know what we do behind his back. Come here and let your big brother kiss you."]

He wanted to throw up but didn't dare, and was so furious he fainted on the spot.

At ten, Qin Zhao is granted the title of prince despite having no achievements or reputation, outranking all her brothers.

By this point, her viewing history is more outrageous than ever.

Her brothers star in stories of forced love, groveling exes seeking forgiveness, steamy danmei, and all kinds of unhinged, absurd, fast-paced action that starts at full throttle.

Qin Zhao: Who says ancient times are boring? They're wonderful! I've got all the time in the world, a life of ultimate luxury, and my brothers can fight over the throne without dragging me, an innocent bystander, into it. It couldn't be better.
