After Lin Heng dies, her soul unexpectedly transmigrates into the body of the current empress’s legitimate “crown prince.” Orphaned at eight, she thought she would spend her entire life in the inner palace, cautiously navigating its dangers while living as a man.
To spare her mother from gossip, Lin Heng planned to hide the fact that she was a woman in disguise for the rest of her life.
But her imperial father’s favor and the empress dowager’s affection made Lin Heng realize that perhaps things were not so bad after all. Yet did they cherish and favor her because they believed she was a “man”?
As the legitimate child of the empress, she was not surprised that her father would choose her as crown prince.
What she had not expected was that the two years she was supposed to spend praying for the nation before becoming crown prince were actually the royal family’s way of sending the heir out to travel.
And so Lin Heng set out on a path she had never imagined.
With her companions at her side, she saw the country’s magnificent landscapes, heard all manner of strange tales from the common folk, and experienced both laughter and narrow escapes from death.
The questions in her heart gradually joined together into a clear thread.
One deeply buried truth after another began to surface...
Just whose pawn was this “crown prince” guilty of deceiving the emperor?
