I Overhauled the Court and Became Empress, Now the General Begs for My Undivided Attention Every Night

[Arrogant Crown Princess × Gallant Disgraced General]

[Disguised as a Man]

PS: This story features political intrigue and mystery-solving, along with plenty of romantic tension between the leads. The heroine grows throughout the story, and both leads are quick with a retort.

Lu Tingwan wakes up to find she has become the book’s tyrannical, arrogant, spoiled Crown Prince, a villainous fool destined for a gruesome death.

She plans to keep her head down, stay alive, and coast until the ending. But she soon realizes she can’t simply turn a blind eye to this feudal dynasty.

She refuses to accept women’s oppression. She abolishes foot binding, opens schools for girls, allows women to do business, and speaks up for them. Women can be just as heroic as men; there is no reason for heroines to yield to heroes.

She despises corruption in government. She punishes corrupt officials, opens the palace examinations to all, and fights for fairness, paving the way for those from humble backgrounds. If one day I achieve my lofty ambitions, I’ll dare laugh at Huang Chao and call him no man.

Her reforms threaten the interests of the powerful, and her position as Crown Prince is in grave danger.

Why should one person’s mistake under a feudal dynasty implicate their entire clan? Why, in marriage between men and women, should a woman be sentenced to fifty strokes just for asking for a divorce? …

Lu Tingwan refuses to accept it!

When Chen Ke is abolished for trying to strip her of her position as Crown Prince, she refuses to accept that, either!

In the Golden Hall, she points her sword straight at the Son of Heaven. “Father, you’re old. It’s time someone else took the throne!”

But what catches her off guard is that Shen Qingya, the battle-hardened disgraced general she has been working so hard to win over, has developed feelings for her that he shouldn’t have.

Lu Tingwan: “General Shen, listen to me. I’m the Crown Prince, and I’m a man! You shouldn’t…”

Shen Qingya gazes at her tenderly. “It doesn’t matter. As long as it’s you, I only want you to be mine!”
