The Emperor’s Cousin Says He Cannot Comply

Younger Male Lead + Sickly Male Lead + Bickering Cousins + Light Palace Intrigue + Lighthearted Ye Su never imagined that because her “tough fate” had allegedly claimed the lives of two fiancés, leaving her unmarried at twenty-two, her parents would go to the palace to wail to her aunt, the Empress Dowager. To her shock, the Empress Dowager decided on the spot that Ye Su would become a consort for her sickly cousin, the Emperor. The reason? A high monk prophesied that Ye Su’s “strong” fate and the Emperor’s “weak” fate were a perfect match that complemented each other. But neither of them could stand the sight of the other! Since they were children, Ye Su had taken advantage of Jiang Zhaoyi’s frailty to bully him relentlessly. When he studied, she would bang on the table; when he drank tea, she would slap his shoulder; when he walked, she would trip him… When her protests proved futile, Ye Su shouted, “If I’m going in, I’m going as a Noble Consort! Rank me as a Zhaoyi or a Meiren, and you can get lost!” Jiang Zhaoyi countered, “…Keep dreaming. Even granting her the rank of Cairen is a compliment to her ‘barking-mad’ personality.” Ultimately, unable to defy his mother’s demands, he held his nose and granted Ye Su the prestigious position of Noble Consort. However, he only did it to save face for his mother’s family; once she entered the palace, he vowed he would never favor her! But Ye Su wasn’t there for the Emperor’s favor anyway—she was there to live the high life. If anyone dared to get in the way of her comfort, they shouldn’t blame her for unleashing her feminine prowess in the harem! Archetypes: An aggressive female lead (an erotic-novel-reading “rookie driver”) x A sickly male lead who can only lie back and take it in impotent rage. Notes: This is not a transmigration story, though a “strategy-focused transmigrator” may appear. It is a younger man/older woman romance. At the start, the male lead already has an Empress and concubines; the leads are not “double pure” (not both virgins). The story focuses more on their transition from family to lovers, but after the female lead enters the palace, her outrageous behavior eventually forces him into exclusive favor. Child-bearing (Under the protection of the author’s “luck attribute,” scientific genetic issues will be ignored). — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Emperor’s Cousin Says He Cannot Comply — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
