Ask Danzhu

This novel will be adapted into a drama From the author of Ashes to Crown Qidian: “Everyone wanted to ask Chen Danzhu: Does your conscience not ache?” Drama: In the vassal state of Wu under the Great Xia, the people suffer as their prince proves weak and inept. Chen Danzhu, daughter of Wu’s great general, is drawn into the turmoil of Xia’s plan to abolish its vassals. Refusing to bow to fate, she steps into the game as a “pawn,” embarking on a path few can understand. In her struggle to break free, she encounters Chu Yurong, the sixth prince of Xia. What begins in suspicion and calculation grows into trust and alliance: together they defend the dams, aid in relocating the capital, fight for fair examinations, and uncover the truth behind unsolved cases. Amid the trials of the world and the whirlpool of power, they temper themselves while striving for the people’s welfare. Through peril and discovery, they come to recognize the burdens each carries, vowing to join hands to punish corruption and uphold justice. In the end, they not only find love forged in adversity but also bring peace and hope to the people of Great Xia. T/N: This novel is heavily laced with political struggle and war. The female lead is ruthless, decisive, and manipulative — a serious drama, not a lighthearted romance. Readers who prefer sweet revenge romance, beware.
