After Becoming a Cannon-Fodder Princess, the Laid-Back Me Is Forced to Rise

[Playing dumb to outsmart others + beloved by all + alternate-history setting + lighthearted comedy]

Jiang He spent twenty years as a rich kid living it up. Then, in a single day, she transmigrated and became a fallen little princess of the Great Sheng Dynasty.

Her mother had fallen out of favor with the emperor, palace servants changed their tune to suit the wind, and she had never even met her deadbeat father. The palace had practically forgotten she existed.

Jiang He had planned to lie flat, but she suddenly sat up on her deathbed and realized she had no choice but to work hard to improve her living conditions.

No food? No problem, she’d grow her own.

No spending money? No problem, she’d invest.

At first, the Crown Prince and the others only felt sorry for their pitiful little sister and thought they ought to look out for her. But the longer they protected her, the more they worried about letting her go.

They were busy guarding their little cabbage from being stolen away, never expecting trouble to break out in the palace. The emperor suddenly died, while the other princes were maimed or injured.

The officials looked at their menacing neighboring enemy and had no choice but to put capable Jiang He on the throne.

Jiang He: ...Huh? Are you serious? Empress? Me?

Later, looking at the unified realm, some unknown interviewer asked Jiang He, “How do you feel about everything as it is now?”

Jiang He touched the tip of her nose and replied helplessly, “If I told you I only wanted to be a couch potato, and never meant for things to turn out this way, would you believe me?”

A certain someone narrowed his eyes, his expression dangerous. “Did you not mean to fall for me either?”

Jiang He hurried to appease him. “Of course I did. I meant to fall for you!”
