How to Break a Prime Minister

Bai Lang He, the "little general" of Zhu Country, is a war hero by fourteen, a national treasure by sixteen-and a girl pretending to be a boy the whole time.

After earning glory on the battlefield, she's summoned to the royal palace to be groomed for life among nobles and ministers. But palace life? It's worse than war. There are rules. Etiquette. Silk robes. And worst of all-less sword fighting.

To make matters worse, she's assigned to study under the icy, impossibly perfect Prime Minister. Cold, composed, and infuriatingly unreadable, he's everything she isn't. He pushes her to be proper. She pushes him to crack a smile. It's war all over again-but this time with words and way too much eye contact.

But the more time they spend together, the stranger things get. He starts looking at her differently. His lectures grow shorter. His glances linger longer. And he-Zhu Country's most brilliant mind-is clearly having a crisis.

Because he's pretty sure he's falling in love.

With a boy.

...Right?

She just wanted to survive palace life. She didn't mean to break the Prime Minister.

When the truth finally comes out, she's not just the little general anymore-she's his biggest scandal.

And maybe... his greatest love.
