[Strong female lead, woman disguised as a man, political intrigue, redemption, 1v1, love and hate, seemingly innocent but secretly cunning, ensemble cast, the fate of the nation]
Chu Qingyuan was born with everything the world could envy: peerless beauty, extraordinary talent, good fortune, and an unflagging work ethic.
At twenty-eight, she should have been poised for even greater glory, but after a hundred seconds of losing control in an accident, she transmigrates into the body of an overlooked princess.
When she first arrives, people laugh at her: “You’re such an idiot!”
As the tides turn, they cry out: “Your Highness!”
At the height of her power, they all call out: “Long live Your Majesty!”
She bursts onto the scene in a time of chaos and writes her own legend!
Xie Tingji, a crown prince confined within the palace and hardened by conspiracies and bloodshed, always wears a mild, humble expression. With a few words and a smile, he can kill without anyone noticing.
At their first meeting, a blade nearly cuts her throat;
At their second, with danger closing in, he uses her as a hostage to escape;
At their third, wine fills the air as they fight over a jar of fine liquor…
The last time they meet, he holds her tightly in his arms.
Fate may twist and turn, but in the end, it has its way.
Content note: The heroine is neither a selfless saint nor a villain; she embodies both good and evil, and is both fragile and strong. The hero is cunning and charismatic, yet stays true to himself.
