After My Concubine Stepmother Gave Me to a Treacherous Official

Her father has just died, her mother is wicked, her younger brother is still a child, and she has been defiled.

These are far from the only problems transmigrated He Mingrong faces. The good news is that she's a princess. The bad news is that a treacherous minister holds a grudge against her for refusing his marriage proposal.

One is selfish, the other self-serving; one is eccentric and suspicious, the other pretends to be insane.

From cautiously feeling each other out to becoming inseparable, she thinks the story is heading toward a loving marriage that will last a lifetime. But when she offers to return the young emperor's power and make him her prince consort, he flatly refuses.

"Trade you for all of Nanzhao? Rongrong, you're far too presumptuous."

His words crush every last bit of He Mingrong's tenderness. The next morning, half of Shen Zuo's bed is empty. The woman he had been determined to claim... dared to leave him!
