Shen Weiwan, previous life: pseudonym "Shen Erlang", she joined the official position for her frail elder brother, and used her talents and connections to help her family gain a foothold in the court. However, when she became successful, she was replaced by her elder brother, and was eventually silenced by her family. Before her death, she realized that "family affection" was all used.
After rebirth: Back to 16 years old, she became the unpopular daughter of the household minister's family (she was originally timid and cowardly, and died "accidentally" after being pushed into the water by her concubine, and the heroine's soul came through). She looks delicate (fair skin, delicate eyebrows), but on the inside she is an "old soul" who has experienced fighting in the officialdom. She has an online IQ and is extremely tolerant. Her goal is to stay away from her family, protect the people who treat her sincerely, and live out her own life in Chang'an.
Xiao Che, on the surface, is an idle prince (the emperor's youngest brother, his mother and concubine died young, and he seems to have no interest in political affairs), but in fact he is secretly cultivating forces to investigate the truth about his mother's and concubine's "death of illness" ten years ago.
He met Shen Weiwan due to an accident. He initially took advantage of her, but was later attracted by her "edge under her delicate appearance" and became her secret ally on her counterattack.
