Synopsis

Chu Mingxi died in the struggle for the throne. After her death, her soul saw three books.

The first book told of the tragic romance between a down-and-out prince and a palace maid.

They were her father and her mother.

The second book told how a deposed empress and a regent helped a new emperor ascend the throne.

They were the empress, reborn, and her royal uncle.

The third book told of the lifelong devotion between the new emperor and a talented woman.

They were her lowborn imperial brother and his sister-in-law, who had transmigrated from another world.

In all three books, she was a bit player who died earlier than anyone else.

Who would have thought that when she closed the book, she would be reborn, back at the moment she was born, where she met a young, beautiful, bewitching consort and a treacherous official in his youth?

One was her cold and heartless birth mother; the other, a powerful eunuch from her own faction with no conscience. Together, they were plotting something monumental.

She was born an hour early, turning from a princess into a prince and setting her on the arduous path of disguising herself as a man.

Consort Wan: “I'm still too softhearted. Next time, kill them all and leave no trouble behind.”

The young treacherous official followed her instructions to the letter.

Wait, was this really the kind of upbringing her mother was giving him?

Late one night, Wang Zhi, the future powerful eunuch, actually sneaked off to wipe away his tears.

Would witnessing this embarrassing past get her killed?

Chu Mingxi only wanted to survive until she came of age, receive a princely title, and take her family far away from the capital.

Wait! Why was everything going increasingly off track?

She accidentally ran into her future sister-in-law while she was under the effects of an aphrodisiac.

“If you weren't underage, big sister would have made a move.”

“What if I told you I'm an assassin from the 21st century? Would you believe me?”

Later, Consort Wan actually suggested that she seduce her future crown princess?

Wait, so after all that dressing as a man, was she the only one carefully keeping the secret?

Looking for a Kindhearted Protagonist Who Helps the Suffering

I want something with a strong sense of purpose, preferably with no romance. The characters should be kind, thoughtful, and driven by a desire for revenge. They should dare to speak, act, and dream, and not waste time on empty gestures. Any gender is fine. It could be about love of country, another nation, the world, or liberation. Give me something good.

Looking for stories like "Open Your Eyes! Reborn as a Brooding Dead Husband in His Youth". I want a resilient, warm, sunshine-like heroine who speaks her mind. She can be sweet and delicate, but still strong-willed. The male lead should be a little yandere, with a dark, brooding ghostly vibe. He should love her so much he goes mad and would do anything for her.

This is a female-centric novel with no male lead and it's not yuri, but our Prince An and Princess An are really great to ship. A cold-faced, adorable woman disguised as a man versus a sickly, gloomy female ghost. This "black dragon and evil phoenix" dynamic is so satisfying!

This is an absolutely wonderful novel where the female lead disguises herself as the male lead. I haven't seen such a masterpiece since "The Moonlit Lang". Xiao Shi is so handsome! There aren't many brainless characters in the story. Each character has their own charm and shining points. I'm so happy to have discovered this gem of a story by accident. The author's writing is excellent.

This is a top-tier cross-dressing novel, it's so good! The female lead's true gender remains a mystery from beginning to end, except to those who already know her identity. Fresh out of her crown, she goes to guard the borders, enduring five years of battles to grow into a true general and prince, exuding a cold and aloof aura.

The romance between the female lead and Song Nuyan was so exciting! I love that kind of thing. I hope there will be more one-sided love stories between beautiful women.

I've read about half of it on and off and finally couldn't resist writing a review. The female characters in this story are so charming... Although the female lead has to disguise herself as a man and mingle with many male characters, I really love how the author consistently lets the female characters drive the main storyline!

I don't think it makes sense to give a low score after only watching a few minutes. The protagonist isn't an escapist, the author's writing is excellent, the characters are well-developed, and their personalities are well-defined. It's like watching a story about a group of people.

The plot is quite good; I really like this one. The characters are all well-developed and have good personalities. I hope this book can continue. According to the synopsis, it has two female leads. There's another character who likes the female lead, but she probably wasn't chosen in the end, which makes me feel sorry for her.

Super beautiful!!! There are just too few!!! I hope there are more singles shots. I love beautiful girls, hehe 🥰🥰🥰 It's a great read, well-written, and not idiotic. It objectively reflects the differences in social status and gender in ancient times. I just hope there are more single female characters, hehe. I love it! 🥰🥰

I'd stay up until 3 AM for this female lead. It's been so long since I've seen such a moving, growth-oriented female lead! She's not the kind of chosen one who shines from the start, possessing overwhelming intelligence and strength; she experiences fear and confusion. But it's precisely these "imperfections" that make her incredibly real, like a friend who makes mistakes but strives to improve.

I absolutely love this book! It perfectly captures my ideal image of a young prince disguised as a man (and the female lead later becomes incredibly powerful). Her charismatic personality is exceptionally well-developed; she saves herself and illuminates others. The supporting characters are also wonderful, especially the female lead's fiancée—I really loved her! The sense of redemption is amazing!
