"Your Highness, the Crown Princess has caused trouble again." Lucien didn't look up from the document in his hands. "How unfortunate." The attendant hesitated. "She confiscated House Drayke's grain." Lucien's pen stopped. "Why?" "They refused to open their warehouses during the capital's shortage, selling only to nobles.” "And?" "The Crown Princess broke the locks." Lucien finally looked up. "She did what?" "She broke the locks, counted every sack, and ordered the grain distributed to the lower districts." A silence followed. Then Lucien calmly returned to his document. "Good." The attendant blinked. "Your Highness?" "Anything else?" "House Drayke is furious. Their patriarch has demanded that Her Highness be punished for humiliating a Great House." Lucien's expression didn't change. "Then punish him first." The attendant stared. "...For what offense?" Lucien finally raised his eyes. "For making my Crown Princess do his work." *** Three weeks after nearly drowning in a lotus pond, Crown Princess Adeline had already managed to offend three ministers, two Great Houses, half the Imperial Palace, and her husband's stepmother.

She inherited the broken household of the supposedly dying Crown Prince, where servants stole freely and officials answered to no one. Unfortunately for them, not only did she know what corruption looked like, she knew how to bring unruly officials in line. She never expected to awaken in the body of the wallflower crown princess. Nor did she expect her supposedly useless husband. Lucien was supposed to be sickly, weak, and dying. Adeline quickly discovers that the rumors surrounding him are not quite true. And Lucien discovers something even more troublesome. His new wife has absolutely no intention of behaving like a Crown Princess.
