Long Wind, White Jade

Xi Changfeng chose to die rather than endure the pain of illness in her previous life. When she opened her eyes again, she had somehow transmigrated into a book she had once read, becoming a cannon-fodder side character with the same name: Xi Changfeng, a young academy official disguised as a man. She thought it was all just a fleeting dream. She wanted only to go with the flow and make it to the ending written in the book, after which she would have no more attachments. After all, she had no love left for this world.

Yet even living to see that seemingly predetermined ending would be no easy task.

During a lecture at the Imperial Academy, the students ganged up on a lone young man with no one to help him. Acting on instinctive kindness, she stepped forward to rescue the Eleventh Prince, who had supposedly returned to the capital only recently.

From then on, through one chance encounter after another, her fate became quietly and inextricably entwined with Liang Jianheng's.

She had thought the emperor's far-reaching schemes in court and the traitors' secret plots had nothing to do with her. Little did she know that every move she made was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, liable to stir up towering waves in the capital at any moment.
