Splendid Fields: The First-Rank Imperial Princess

When Shen Chujing wakes up, she finds herself in the arms of a man as elegant as bamboo. They're in the wilderness, with a dark sky and strong winds. This is clearly not the place where she has lived for more than twenty years. Silently mourning the loss of her innocence, she strips the man of his money pouch and silver pendant, then claps her hands and sells him to a brothel... When she returns to what is supposedly her home, she learns just how miserable a life her predecessor led. But that's all right. She'll avenge every wrong herself: Uncle hits her? Break his leg. Aunt insults her? Sew her mouth shut. Grandmother punishes her? Talk circles around her until she's half-paralyzed with rage. A penniless scholar wants to break off their engagement? She calmly tears up the marriage contract and hurls a string of coins at him, leaving him battered and bloody. A spoiled young master wants to take her as a concubine? She barges right into his home and kicks him in the crotch, making sure he can never have children. Everyone is stunned. Shen Chujing smiles faintly. Do they think she's still that little girl who let others punish her as they pleased? … She had wanted nothing more than to live quietly and care for her parents, but her family fell into ruin and was wiped out. Her adoptive mother, with her last breath, reveals a shocking secret: her predecessor was actually an imperial princess! Shen Chujing grits her teeth and swears to herself: Fifteen years ago, they caused my birth mother to die. Now they've slaughtered my adoptive mother's entire family. If I don't avenge them, won't I have wasted this borrowed body? She laughs up at the sky as she strides out of the farmyard; the phoenix is reborn from the ashes and soars through the heavens. She enters the great families, arrives at the imperial capital, and gathers honor and status all to herself. She steps through the palace gates and gets rid of a treacherous consort, using ruthless methods that make everyone tremble. She sets the court in order and stabilizes the realm, turning the tide and washing away past grievances in blood. The name of Princess Changyan echoes throughout Qingyuan. Shen Chujing thought she would be feared like a monster and avoided like a snake, but instead, the position of her consort becomes one that young masters from every great family eagerly compete for. Shen Chujing rubs her forehead and sighs helplessly. People really do love being abused... [A Little Scene] Inside Changyan Hall, the woman reclines at ease, leisurely annotating a memorial. The man across from her gazes at her calm profile, his eyes tender. “I didn't know the Right Chancellor, so elegant and upright, had a taste for being abused. Don't tell me you don't know that being my consort isn't easy?” “Your Highness certainly knows herself. If you know you're no less fierce than a she-devil or a tigress, why put up that imperial notice and scare all the men in the land?” Shen Chujing scoffs. “What I do is none of your business, Right Chancellor. If you dislike me so much, why did you rush to answer that notice?” The man still wears a relaxed smile. “Have you forgotten that two years ago, Your Highness forcibly took my innocence? Now that your power is rising like the sun, are you going to cast me aside like some ‘old wife’?” Shen Chujing is stunned. Suddenly she remembers that dark, windy night two years ago. She had just transmigrated and found herself in the arms of a man as elegant as bamboo. So this was a love debt that had been destined from the start! The man's eyes are clear. Knowing she's recalled what happened, he smiles like a scene from a romantic tale and gives an order: “Tell the young masters from the great families who answered the notice that Princess Changyan is three months pregnant and too tired to see anyone. As for Dowager Consort Li, though she's getting on in years, she still has her charms. If you gentlemen don't mind... you can go nurse her yourselves!” Shen Chujing looks at her perfectly flat stomach and angrily shouts at the man who is shamelessly lying: “I've been pregnant for two months with your uncle!” “It's my great-uncle who's sixty. Even if he wanted to get Your Highness pregnant, he's probably not up to the task. Though he might manage to be the child's great-grandfather.” The man smiles with peerless elegance, ignoring the furious woman before him. He suddenly leans closer, his voice clear and warm. “No matter how you turn the world upside down, you won't escape my grasp! Don't even think about anyone else!” ☆ This is the story of a hidden princess who rises from obscurity, builds her own fortune, outwits her enemies, avenges past wrongs, and returns to the pinnacle of power. ☆ An imperial princess is a royal princess.
