Zheng Huaijin died peacefully at the age of ninety. When she opened her eyes, she had become a sixteen-year-old fourth princess who had just fallen to her death. Her former self had refused to marry Lin Yang, the "useless prince," but she gladly accepted the imperial decree. The man seemed like a wastrel on the surface, but his eyes concealed a deep sea.
Lin Yang had transmigrated eighteen years ago. He had endured and kept up his disguise while secretly building an intelligence network, and his martial arts had reached the grandmaster realm. He married the princess only to appease the imperial family. He never expected that after her fall, the spoiled fourth princess would become clever and perceptive. At times, her mannerisms were uncannily like the woman he had loved in his past life but could never have.
The princes fought viciously for the throne, while the princesses each harbored their own schemes. Drawing on her past-life experience and the "practical knowledge" she had gained from watching eight hundred palace intrigue dramas, Zheng Huaijin navigated the plots with ease. Lin Yang, meanwhile, played his part at court while secretly protecting her.
They tested each other, unaware that they had both transmigrated, and even less aware that they had known each other in their past lives. He had once been the secret admirer she barely noticed, and she had been the woman he had loved so deeply he could never forget her.
As the web of schemes tightened around her, he took a fatal sword strike for her. "This time, let me protect you." She touched his bloodstained face, her heart surging. Amid the power struggles in the imperial palace and the hidden attacks lurking everywhere, watch as they uncover the mystery of their origins and forge their own glorious path through the clash of imperial ambitions.
