Xu Chaomu was born in a peaceful and prosperous age as an aristocrat, beloved by the Emperor and spoiled by the Empress Dowager... In short, she had plenty of reasons to be smirking. "Ah... This is the life!" Then, an imperial decree was issued, naming the Protector-Princess the new Crown Princess. Xu Chaomu was taken aback. "So... Who's the Crown Prince?" The Crown Princess had been selected before the Crown Prince. Did the Emperor want her to choose a husband? Xu Chaomu's response? "The country is filled with handsome, eligible bachelors, and the Imperial Princes are outstanding too." Who am I supposed to choose? "Uncle! Don't run away!"
