In the second year after the new emperor ascended the throne, I was granted in marriage to the heir of Marquis Pingchang.

The heir, Xiao Xing, courtesy name Yuzhi.

Born to a noble house, son of a military family, so peerlessly handsome that none in the world could rival him.

Everyone was chilled by the ruthless political calculations of the new emperor.

To win over military power, he had not hesitated to use his own childhood sweetheart as a pawn in a marriage alliance.

After the wedding, everyone in the Marquis Pingchang estate treated me with the utmost courtesy.

Xiao Xing and I were even more respectful toward each other, like honored guests.

After all, everyone believed I would one day become empress.

But only I knew the truth.

I would never sit on the empress’s throne.

Because my imperial cousin and I had both transmigrated here.

And as upstanding young people from the twenty-first century, we don’t do cousin romance.
