Reborn as Everyone’s Favorite in My Fair Princess

Xiao Yanzi, the innocent and impulsive princess who once stirred up trouble in the My Fair Princess story, unexpectedly gets the chance to be reborn and returns to the very beginning, before anything has started: the crowded courtyard compound where she first arrived in the capital.

When she opens her eyes, the painful lessons of her years in the imperial palace come flooding back: the countless beatings she suffered for her impulsiveness and ignorance, the friends she dragged into trouble, and all the opportunities she missed. This time, she is determined to change. At first light, she trains hard in the courtyard with Liu Qing and Liu Hong, her fists and feet swift, her sword flashing, all so she can hold her own in the perilous palace. When night falls, she studies the intricate rules of etiquette with Jinsuo by candlelight. Though she stumbles now and then, she grits her teeth and keeps going.

At the imperial palace’s grand hunting event, Xiao Yanzi appears in men’s clothing, bold and dashing. When a leopard lunges and everyone panics, she draws her bow and kills it with a single shot, stunning the entire court and setting her path to the palace in motion. Faced with the Empress’s deliberate provocations and Nanny Rong’s underhanded attempts to pick a fight, she is no longer the naive girl who could be easily angered. She responds with wit and humility, leaving her opponents at a loss.

More astonishing still, drawing on memories from her previous life, she speaks eloquently on affairs of state and presents Emperor Qianlong with a brilliant plan for flood control, leaving the entire court stunned. Amid this shifting turmoil, Ziwei disguises herself and enters the palace. The sisters reunite and embrace in tears. They hold on to hope as they secretly discuss their plan to reveal their true relationship by flickering candlelight, hoping to break free of their constraints and rewrite everyone’s fate. See how reborn Xiao Yanzi rises to the challenge and grows stronger in this palace where every step is fraught with danger, stirring up another legendary tale.
