The Heir Apparent Likes Her Lack of Ambition

The flower fairy Yun Li can’t stand the unspoken rules around overtime, so she beats up the Jade Emperor’s third son. Her immortal powers are taken away, and she falls to the mortal realm, where she becomes one of the many concubines of the heir to the Marquis of Ningyuan in the state of Yu.

She eats, drinks, and has fun without competing for favor. With her flower-fairy ability to see into people’s hearts, she can uncover their hidden secrets and enjoy endless gossip.

…

“So Eunuch Chun, the Noble Consort’s attendant, is actually a fake eunuch?”

“The heir to the Earl of Zhongyong is a woman?! She’s been dressing as a man for twenty years to keep her title, and the little princess has fallen in love with her!”

Yun Li turns around and sees the handsome, peerless heir, Ye Fengye. He’s been poisoned for years. No wonder he works himself to the bone investigating cases day and night. What a waste of that face.

What?!

Ye Fengye: Your cure works on me!

Yun Li sobs uncontrollably: Men’s clingy kisses steal her immortal energy and seriously slow down her gossip intake. She can only toss him some juicy gossip to coax him into solving cases, and she never expected him to fall in love with her!

Ye Fengye: I stole your immortal energy to cure my poison. How about I repay you with my whole life?

Yun Li: What else can I do? I’m already pregnant… But court intrigue makes for a difficult birth, and household infighting is bad for the baby. The overachieving father can work hard to claim the throne himself. I’ll take the baby and make a run for it first.

…

Years later, the child sees Ye Fengye arrive, still dashing and heroic. “Mother, what does love mean?”
