The Bamboo-Shooting Empress Drops the Act

"Those who follow me will prosper; those who oppose me will perish."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty? That sounds so lonely. I'm not calling myself a lonely ruler."

Zhaohe is the eldest daughter of the Empress of Zhao. She has been a troublemaker since childhood. Studying and reading aren't her strong suits, but she's top of the class when it comes to climbing onto roofs and pulling up tiles. She spends every day playing with cats and dogs, and the civil and military officials impeach her nonstop. But the Empress dotes on her more and more, turning Zhaohe into a thoroughly self-important little terror, the very menace of Zhao! After inheriting the throne, she becomes even more uncontrollable, and the whole kingdom is turned upside down.

The proud hostage prince pretends to be harmless while hiding his true abilities. To survive and win over the powerful, he humbles himself to please Zhaohe, only for her to toss him into the little restaurant she runs! Is my face not pretty enough?

Witness the tumultuous romance of a shameless empress and a proud hostage prince.
