Naive Protagonist
The Seed She Planted
To repay a bandit for saving his life, Father promised him one of his daughters in marriage.
When the family heard, my eldest sister accepted our cousin’s proposal that very night.
My second sister jumped into the river and fell gravely ill.
My third sister ran away with a scholar.
I alone knew nothing about it.
I was in my courtyard, kicking a shuttlecock.
The bandit passed my courtyard with Father, pointed at me, and said, “Her.”
The Naive Princess
I am the youngest princess of Baojun Palace, raised to seem innocent while my elder sister bargains with a ruthless eunuch and my elder brother plots for our survival.
Our mother was framed and killed, our palace became a prison, and every smile I wear becomes a weapon against the emperor who abandoned us.
As love, revenge, and a battle for the throne close around our family, the secrets everyone hides prove far more dangerous than my supposed naivety.
I may be the family’s little fool, but I will decide which hearts are saved—and which debts are paid.
