The Ten-Tael Princess

She was bought by the emperor for ten taels of silver and sent to the Prince En’s residence as its least valuable princess consort. Her ugly face conceals her mysterious origins, and everyone says the Princess Consort of Prince En is worth next to nothing. Little do they know, she is the most coveted treasure in this entire world! She knows the heavens above and the earth below! When the great clans and powerful nations all come out in force to search for one woman, the people of the Great Qing Kingdom finally begin to realize they’ve bought themselves a troublesome figure!
