The foolish Third Princess of the Nankang Kingdom is reborn.
She doesn’t know why her father, the emperor, treated her as if she didn’t exist in her previous life,
nor why her birth mother, the Noble Consort, despised her,
nor why the palace maids and matrons often pitied her while bullying her... But it doesn’t matter. As long as she has a husband who cherishes and loves her, that’s enough.
But in her previous life, her husband gave his life for the people of the realm. This time, she will protect him, the only person in the world who has ever treated her well.
The Prince of Chen notices that whenever he enters the palace, he can spot the supposedly foolish Third Princess.
Sometimes, he sees her out for a walk.
Sometimes, he runs into her on her way to pay her respects.
And sometimes, she makes a special trip to warn him about something...
As time passes, the Prince of Chen not only stops finding it annoying, he gradually grows used to it. Every time he enters the palace, he finds himself looking for that familiar figure.
Then one day, the emperor, who has always feared that the prince’s achievements would overshadow his own, arranges a marriage between him and the famously foolish Third Princess to humiliate him.
The entire court holds its breath, expecting the Prince of Chen to be unable to bear the insult and quarrel with the emperor.
Instead, word comes that the prince has accepted the decree and expressed his gratitude.
Everyone says, “His Highness the Prince of Chen has sacrificed so much for the stability of the court.”
The plot is tight and well-connected, lacking grand, sweeping revenge narratives but instead featuring meticulously planned and executed actions. It seems like a lighthearted, fast-paced story, yet it isn't. The premise of rebirth—to fill the regrets and gaps of the previous life—is novel and unique! I hope the author continues to work hard and look forward to their next masterpiece!
It's good, not melodramatic, and quite interesting. The only downside is that the second prince is a bit pitiful.
