[Court Intrigue + Feel-Good Revenge + Two Powerhouses + Devoted Couple]
Lin Jianyue was an unloved daughter of a concubine in ancient times. She died a tragic death after being framed. When she opened her eyes again, she had become one of Huaxia’s top agents. Carrying the original owner’s grievances with her, she returned in force.
As soon as she came back, she learned that she was the biological daughter of the eldest princess of the Han dynasty. But her shameless younger sister had stolen her identity and taken her place.
Lin Jianyue naturally refused to let it go. She headed straight to the capital, ripped off the fake heiress’s mask in front of everyone, and sent her biological father’s entire family to prison. She was then successfully granted the title of commandery princess.
Though she was now a commandery princess, everyone mocked her, saying she was merely lucky and was still a lowborn farmer’s daughter at heart. Besides, she was illiterate and unworthy of her title. Yet at a flower-viewing banquet, Lin Jianyue recited poetry with effortless eloquence. “In this world, no one can rival you in longing; you’re a beast, but we share the same flesh and blood.” She verbally thrashed everyone there who had mocked her.
Even after she stole the show at the banquet, people stubbornly insisted that she could only write a few poems and had no brains. The court was treacherous, and one wrong move as a commandery princess could leave her unable to recover. Everyone waited to see her make a fool of herself. But at her first court session, Lin Jianyue took on the assembled ministers in a war of words, driving the entire court mad with fury while leaving them helpless…
Later, people mocked Lin Jianyue for setting her sights on the battle-hardened Crown Prince, calling her shameless and saying she was a toad dreaming of eating swan meat. But one day, the Crown Prince took Lin Jianyue’s hand in front of everyone and announced, “Jianyue and I really are a toad dreaming of eating swan meat. I’m the toad.” His sarcasm hit home, and all those who had mocked Lin Jianyue lowered their heads and came to apologize.
