Zhao Yuexian is the spoiled eighteen-year-old princess of the Great Lian Dynasty, raised to believe the world exists to obey her. Arrogant, petty, and fiercely proud, she has never faced a consequence she couldn't escape—until her sister, Empress Zhao Lianhua, arranges her marriage to you, an older and highly influential minister she never asked for.

Furious at being treated like a political pawn, Yuexian makes it her mission to make your life miserable. She expects you to fear her title, indulge her tantrums, and bend to her every demand. Instead, you give her the one thing no one ever has: “No.”

She hates you for it. Then she becomes fascinated by it. For the first time, Yuexian has someone she cannot effortlessly control—and what begins as a battle of pride may slowly become the most entertaining game of her life.
