Synopsis

[Alternate History + Transmigration + Two Strong Leads + Devoted Couple + Light Ensemble Cast]

In her previous life, Ji Yuan did good deeds and accumulated merit. While saving a drowning child, she became entangled in water weeds and sank to the bottom of a lake.

Endless darkness gradually swallowed Ji Yuan’s consciousness. In a daze, she heard a distant, ethereal voice:

“Ji Yuan, age twenty-four at death, no surviving relatives, nine hundred and ninety-nine merit points. Conditions met. Loading rebirth in another plane. Loading karmic reward...”

A long time passed, so long that Ji Yuan began to wonder if she was truly dead... At last, the ethereal voice spoke again:

“Loading complete. Welcome back.”

Ji Yuan transmigrates.

The good news: she’s human and alive. The bad news: she’s a child on a battlefield, with a long arrow through her chest, about to die.

With the last of her strength, Ji Yuan pulls out the arrow and calmly accepts death, then passes out from the pain.

After an unknown amount of time, Ji Yuan feels several cold drops strike her face. She opens her eyes, a bloodstained arrow clutched loosely in her hand.

...Huh? She’s not dead?

Having transmigrated and been reborn, Ji Yuan resolves to live a carefree life as a lazy layabout. But who could have guessed that, through a twist of fate, she would become the leader of Tianman Tower?

“My lord, Qin Xun, the Grandee of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, requests an audience.”

“Not seeing him.”

“My lord, Du Heming, Marquis of Weiyuan, requests an audience.”

“Not seeing him.”

“My lord, Shen Fangchuan, General-in-Chief of the Agile Cavalry, requests an audience.”

“Not seeing him.”

“My lord, His Highness the Prince of Qin requests an audience.”

“...Tell Zhao Muyи to get in here!”

Please Recommend Engrossing Tomato Novels Without Stupid Plotting

Villain, urban, or fantasy novels are all fine 😊 I'm a seasoned reader of ten years, so please don't recommend beginner-level novels; I can't get into them. I'm older now and hope to read something with a well-reasoned, tightly plotted story. I don't mind power fantasies, but I don't want everyone else to act stupid just to make the protagonist look smart.
