The Concubine's Daughter Is Rebellious to Her Core

Shen Zhao, the illegitimate daughter of the prime minister's household, was born to a lowly mother and was never favored.

When others bullied her, she hit back. When her legitimate elder brother mocked her for knowing nothing about scholarship, she argued him into silence right to his face. When the world said women were inferior to men, she disguised herself as a man and dazzled the capital with her talent.

Later, to win over the Fourth Prince, her father decided to send her to become his secondary consort.

Shen Zhao refused on the spot.

She would not be a gilded canary confined to the inner chambers, nor a pawn in the hands of the powerful.
