Synopsis:
After the results of the imperial examination were announced, the officials gathered for a grand banquet at the Qujiang Garden to celebrate the occasion.
During the feast, the emperor pointed at the newly crowned zhuangyuan (top scholar) and said to his beloved daughter, Princess Pingyang:
“This young man would make a worthy match for my daughter.”
Princess Pingyang looked up—and promptly sprayed out the mouthful of wine she had just drunk.
Wasn’t this the same man she had seduced and then abandoned three years ago, Shen Xiao?!
Three days later, the newly appointed zhuangyuan Shen Xiao submitted a memorial to the throne, fiercely impeaching Princess Pingyang for three major crimes:
— Shameless conduct
— Hoarding money and grain
— Secretly maintaining a private army
Princess Pingyang:
“I only took your chastity, damn it—you’re trying to take my life!”
Reading Notes
- The blurb sounds lighthearted, but the main story is not.
- Both sweet and angsty moments are present.
- The female lead does not become emperor. She also has flaws.
