In the State of Yu, women held power; in the State of Zhou, men held power.
So the emperors of the two states settled on a marriage: Yu's Crown Prince, Meng Yuan, would take Zhou's Crown Prince, Zhao Qitian, as her principal husband.
The news sparked heated discussion in both states.
Zhao Qitian's mission was simple:
Win over Crown Prince Meng Yuan, steal state secrets, then return home in glory and ascend the throne.
But nobody had told him
that his wife was a scheming fox who was even better at acting than he was!
He played the weakling, and she was even more seductive.
He let his mean-spirited nature show, and she promptly made herself the capital's number-one jealous husband, inspiring men all over the city to imitate her.
Only after taking a poisoned arrow meant for Meng Yuan did Zhao Qitian realize:
He was supposed to win her over, so how had he ended up falling for her instead?
Later, his identity was exposed, and he fled back to Zhou.
In the chaos of fire and rebellion, she pointed her longsword at him.
"Dear husband, don't you want to keep playing this game of true love?"
That year, the phoenix sang across the nine heavens, its call reaching every corner of the world.
As it turned out,
the cruelest scheme was making him willingly bow and submit.
The deepest trap was her heart, which she only recognized too late.
Blurb Two:
Meng Yuan, the only child of Yu's emperor, Crown Prince, and future emperor,
was actually a modern person who had been born into a matriarchal world.
After twenty years of hard work,
she became the handsome, charming object of admiration and imitation for young men and women across the commanderies.
She was dashing, noble, and wealthy.
She could handle both court politics and business.
A young general, a rebellious secret guard, and an aloof top scholar all became her intimate companions.
The irresistibly coquettish flower courtesan would accept a freedom contract from no one but her.
A famously virtuous and gentle man from the capital fell in love with her at first sight and vowed to marry no one else.
Yet even surrounded by all these beauties, she remained untouched, never letting a single leaf cling to her.
That is, until a marriage decree arrived.
Meng Yuan: "A mere man? How hard can it be to handle him?"
But she soon discovered that Zhao Qitian could do everything. He could be arrogant and domineering, or act innocent, and he was especially good at throwing little tantrums.
The only thing he couldn't do was stop loving her.
Perhaps it was the purity of his love
that made her waver in her resolve to kill him.

Finally, thank you readers for your support. This is my first book, and I will absolutely not abandon it.
Theme: Know my flaws, and enjoy my autumn calm.
The introduction of this article makes the characters of the male and female protagonists seem very strong. When you really read it, you will find that the male protagonist is silly and sweet, and the prince of a country is undercover. The female protagonist is the same. It is written in ancient times that the servants of the palace can fight with her husband? Oh, you were able to mock the Lord last time, but this was the first time you were not punished, and the second time you were given a light punishment, how can you still manage the house? There are no rules in the house, why should I return it to the prince?
If someone falsely accuses you, you still have to say sorry?
Speechless, is it the male protagonist's fault to burn the kitchen? Isn't it your fault that the servants in the kitchen of your concubine's house left their posts? When someone makes you cakes and you forget to turn off the fire, does it mean you have a bad temper? Is your logic correct?
🤔 Because the title turns out to be a harem story, forget it, the male protagonist's roles are getting less and less 🤔 🤔 🤔
The current cover is more beautiful. When I first saw the previous cover, I thought it was in the Republic of China or the period 😂
What's the matter with the heroine being a bit scummy 😂😂😂
I feel like the punishment this old woman received was too light, eh
Good guy, the servants even dare to throw mud at the crown prince?
Hey, I suddenly feel that the servants in the prince's residence are so useless, and the master has to take command himself 😩
This title is really awkward. The male prince should be called the prince, and the female prince should be called the prince. Isn't it good? It's really embarrassing to have a prince.
