CompletedChu Li was an adopted abandoned infant, raised as the Ninth Prince—a girl disguised as a boy—by Consort Wen to gain favor. However, she was determined to live a 'salted fish' life, just eating and waiting to die, but fate had other plans.
The Regent Prince was originally the top contender in the autumn hunt, but she unexpectedly saved the emperor and stole his thunder. The Regent Prince provided disaster relief, but she unexpectedly cracked a major case and won the people's hearts. The Regent Prince planned a marriage alliance with a neighboring princess, but the princess specifically demanded to marry her.
She always inadvertently sabotaged his schemes, leading the Regent Prince to view her as a rival for the throne. Open and covert assassination attempts multiplied, his methods growing increasingly sinister and ruthless.
She hugged his leg and explained: "Imperial Uncle, these are all misunderstandings! I truly don't want to compete with you for the throne."
