She was a princess consort married into the royal family to bring good fortune, with no family or friends to her name. But the prince died the very next day, and the blow was too much for her: she followed him to the grave.
She was a modern-day iron-willed female soldier and a hidden cultivator. Seeing that all her family in the modern world had passed away, she felt she had nothing left to live for, so she faked her death and, with help from her beloved pet, transmigrated to an unknown dynasty.
What will happen when a lonely princess consort married to bring good fortune meets an iron-willed female soldier who has transmigrated from the modern world?
“Whose little darling is this? Why is he all alone with no one looking after him?” One bored day, the princess consort strolled through the garden and spotted a little boy sobbing among the flowers. She asked the people beside her.
“Your Highness, that’s the young master,” the maid behind her whispered.
“The young master? Whose child is he?” the princess consort asked in confusion.
“Your Highness, he’s the prince’s legitimate son, born to the late princess consort,” the maid behind her whispered. The prince had died just after the princess consort married into the family, and no one had told her about the young master.
“What? Why didn’t anyone tell me?” the princess consort demanded angrily. Wasn’t this the child her late husband had left behind, her own son in name? The boy was hiding here and crying, his little face bruised. Who would know he was a young master of the prince’s household, and its legitimate heir at that? Unless something unexpected happened, he would become the next prince. Who could be bold enough to bully him?
“Sweetheart, come here. Don’t cry. Let Mother Consort see you. Does your face hurt?” The princess consort crouched down and gathered the child into her arms, holding him gently against her. Feeling his little body tremble, she thought, From now on, this child is mine. I wasn’t planning on having children anyway, so this works out perfectly.
The young master looked up with tear-reddened eyes at the beautiful woman holding him so tenderly. He didn’t know how to react. He could only stare at her with eyes as red as a rabbit’s.
Let the side consorts from powerful families who covet the heir’s position for their sons come at her. Let the Empress Dowager, who rules the imperial harem, and all the other schemers after the prince’s fortune come too. This princess consort isn’t afraid of any of you!
And so the princess consort began her journey in another world, raising her little one and battling her way through every obstacle.
She’d raise her innocent little dumpling into a sly young man, someone worthy of being one of the capital’s most famous young masters. For her son’s sake, she’d take on one enemy after another, and if two came at her, she’d beat them both. She also had to help her late husband look after his younger brother, who had become emperor. Tell me, is a woman’s life easy, especially for a widow with a child? But one day, she discovered that everything she thought she knew was only a facade, an illusion, and so she set off on another path.
See how a modern cultivator and female soldier, carrying a space with her, thrives in another world.
