When I woke up, I had become Qing'er from the My Fair Princess story, a gentle and graceful girl destined to be tormented by love. But no one knew that this body carried the soul of a woman from the modern era, armed with foreknowledge of history and a vision far beyond her time.
This time, I will never repeat the same mistakes. Fu Erkang? I wish him and Ziwei a lifetime of happiness together. The Empress Dowager's favor is my shield, but my modern memories are my true trump card.
While everyone else in the harem was still fighting over their little corner, I had already turned my attention to the fate of the entire dynasty. In the imperial study, I presented a plan for financial bonds to ease the emperor's urgent troubles. At court, I proposed establishing new schools, shaking the entire assembly of civil and military officials.
My actions finally drew the attention of the perfect ally: Prince He, Hongzhou, who seemed frivolous but was sharp-eyed and clear-minded.
He leaned lazily by the palace gate, his phoenix eyes narrowed. "Princess Qing, do you know how many people's plans this strategy has disrupted?"
I met his searching gaze and calmly replied, "Imperial Uncle, fighting tooth and nail on an old chessboard is just a struggle over a fixed pie. Join forces with me, and we can make the pie bigger and create a world no one has ever seen. Then you will be the first wise prince of a prosperous age, remembered in the history books."
The moment I saw a flicker of admiration in his eyes, I knew I had found an ally who could see the same future I did.
From a princess summoned to attend the emperor to a prince's consort, from a confidante to the dynasty's most dazzling stateswoman.
This is more than a comeback. It is a gentle upheaval of ancient rules by modern wisdom, and the footnote that Hongzhou and I wrote together for this piece of history, one that belongs to us.
Author, are you right? As a person of the 21st century, I have obviously seen Princess Huanzhu, but you also wrote in the article that she knew Princess Huanzhu and the intricate relationship between them. As a result, Shufangzhai became Qing'er's various temptations and felt that there was something wrong with Ziwei, and she felt that she should start to investigate the secrets of the royal family starting from Xia! May I ask? Why don't you just write about Qing'er's rebirth, but just remember that at the beginning, you know the plot outcome better than modern people are reborn, and then you don't know Xia Ziwei's identity anymore? As you write, have you forgotten what you wrote before? Or is it deliberately vague to highlight Qing'er's intelligence?
