[Transmigration + Rebirth + Political Intrigue + Two Strong Leads + Childhood Friends + Unexpected Suitor]
Chi Yi (Lu Jinxi), a modern-day office drone, is hit by a car while walking home from work after trying to save a black cat, and transmigrates to Nanyuan, a fictional ancient dynasty.
All she wants in the ancient world is to build a good life with her father. But there, she meets Gu Jingyao, the sixth prince of Nanyuan, whose life has been marked by misery.
To repay the Lu family for a favor, the Empress Dowager takes the lonely and helpless Gu Jingyao from the palace into her care and brings in former Grand Secretary Lu Zhuoyu to tutor him. Lu Jinxi and Gu Jingyao grow up together as childhood friends, gradually becoming indispensable to each other. To uncover the truth behind the Lu family's alleged rebellion, they return to the capital with Gu Jingyao.
By chance, Lu Jinxi meets Xie Yinghuai, heir to the Marquis of Anyang. The marquis's business stretches across all of Nanyuan, making him richer than the entire country. The King of Nanyuan gives the marquis no real power, lest he threaten the throne, and Xie Yinghuai's ambitions are thwarted by the king's suspicions. Working with Gu Jingyao benefits them both.
After returning to the capital, Lu Jinxi realizes that Gu Jingyao has many things he values more than her. She will never be the one he chooses without hesitation. But just as she decisively gives up on their relationship, Xie Yinghuai corners her against a wall and says pitifully, “If he won't do, why not turn around and look at me?” Later, Lu Jinxi discovers that he was only putting on an act. He is clearly a sly fox of a man, innocent on the outside but full of wicked schemes within. And yet she willingly falls into his hands.
Super pretty!!
