[A friendly note] No melodrama, no tragic romance, monogamy, fictional dynasty, happy ending, and the heroine has no love interest.
The heroine is no traditional adorable little girl. She is shrewd, calculating, and has supernatural abilities. Read with caution.
[Synopsis] In the capital, there is a well-known fact that everyone avoids discussing: the illustrious Qin family has long been divided into three branches.
Unlike her elder uncles, who hold official posts at court, Qin Wei has not managed to secure even a minor position. As a result, his branch seems almost irrelevant within the Qin household.
Fortunately, he has his beautiful and kind-hearted wife, Su Mengyan, and his clever, sweet daughter, Qin Youyou, by his side.
But no one expected Qin Youyou to be openly framed and killed at just sixteen after drinking a bowl of lotus root powder.
When Qin Youyou wakes again, she discovers that she has transmigrated back to the morning of her third birthday banquet.
At the banquet, she recites “The Ballad of Mulan” from memory of her previous life and becomes a celebrated child prodigy in the capital. She also uses her supernatural ability to humiliate Liu, her second uncle's wife, who killed her in her previous life.
But this is only the beginning.
Qin Youyou first clears away the weeds blocking her path in the Qin household, then helps her father, Qin Wei, reclaim an official position.
With her help, Qin Wei rises steadily through the ranks, eventually becoming one of the most powerful ministers at court.
Qin Youyou also helps her maternal grandmother, Princess Su Qingtian, seize power and ascend the throne as empress, and makes her mother, Su Mengyan, the happiest woman in the world...
