The Beggar Queen

When a top assassin transmigrates into the body of a little beggar girl, she crawls through a dog hole into the prince’s kitchen Zhongli Hua acts sweet and adorable, begging shamelessly. The important thing is to stay! And then? Once she has enough to eat and wear, it’s time to think about the rest of her life: Zhongli Hua’s [goal] is to win over the pretty young Fifth Prince, raise him into a loyal husband, and become a high-class, carefree princess consort! The fantasy is lovely, but [reality] is a real pain**** When Zhongli Hua is five: “Your Highness, I want the Fifth Prince!” Su Yu: “You’re too young.” When Zhongli Hua is six: “Your Highness, I want the Fifth Prince!” Su Yu: “I’m going to war. We’ll talk when I get back!” When Zhongli Hua is fifteen: “Your Highness, I’m going to marry the Fifth Prince!” Su Yu: “Fine. I’ll ask the emperor for an edict.” “By the Mandate of Heaven, the emperor decrees: … Zhongli Hua is hereby named the primary consort of Prince Yu, Su Yu. The wedding shall be held on an auspicious day. End of decree.” Zhongli Hua was furious. “You old geezer! What’s the meaning of this?!” Su Yu raised an eyebrow. “The imperial decree has been issued, so I can’t defy it. I suppose I’ll just have to accept you, reluctantly!” [One-on-one romance.
