The Spoiled Crown Princess’s Secret Identity Keeps Getting Exposed

After Qiao Wenshu fell into the water, she took ill and never recovered. When she was near death, the Old Madam of the Qiao family wrote to the Empress Dowager, who sent an imperial physician to save her life. Qiao Wenshu later went to the palace and thanked the Empress Dowager with a steamed bun. The gesture won her great affection, and she was granted the title of Princess Ning'an. Through a twist of fate, she married Crown Prince Xiao Haochi to bring him good fortune. The Crown Prince was frail and sickly, always looking as though he could barely catch his breath. The court officials and princes were all scheming to send him to an early grave. But nobody could bully someone under Qiao Wenshu's protection. Anyone who dared lay a finger on him would get ten times as much in return. Even the highest power in the land would have to ask her permission before hurting him. Later, Qiao Wenshu discovered that the Crown Prince had been faking everything. When she asked why he had never come clean, he proudly replied, “Because I like seeing you protect me. There’s nothing wrong with letting you spoil me a little.”

By chance, she learned that she was not the daughter of Qiao Decheng. Her father was the renowned General Zhan Yuanyang, who had been falsely accused of adultery and treason and condemned along with his entire clan. Qiao Decheng had managed to save her. She began investigating the truth behind the war, determined to expose the villain who had framed her father and clear his name. Little did she know that her parents’ connections were formidable too. The head of the bandits in Luohan Valley was her godmother, a sworn sister who had grown up with her mother. The City Lord of Wenjin, whose power rivaled that of Yucheng, was her father’s older brother. As for how they had escaped the extermination of their clan, it turned out that Ling Shuangjiang had been stolen away at birth, and the City Lord of Wenjin had never stopped searching for him. Qiao Wenshu never imagined she had so many powerful allies behind her. When a neighboring kingdom provoked them and threatened war, court officials begged her to negotiate a truce, simply because their ruler was her cousin.
