[Gu Ming CP + satisfying read + family bonds + strategy + Story of Minglan fanfiction + character growth + some original elements (some plot points differ from the TV series) + devoted 1v1 romance + both reborn] Note: Contains some minor errors in details. Read with caution if that bothers you. In her previous life, Sheng Minglan lived cautiously, planning every step. Though she met a good end, she still had regrets. When she opened her eyes in this life, she had become the legitimate daughter of the Qi State Duke's household, and the twin sister of the graceful yet unlucky-in-love young Duke Qi. Fate had given her a second chance, and a much higher starting point. In this life, her name was Qi Zhao. She would no longer endure in silence or wait around. She would live brilliantly and shine a light on every regret from her past life. Her brother, Qi Heng, is forced into marriage by the powerful? She gives her fan a gentle wave. “Brother, we won't go through with this marriage. I have a plan...” Her father is framed by political enemies and thrown in jail? She sets up an intelligence network and clears his name in three days, making her opponents beg for mercy. Are women meant to be confined to the inner quarters? She establishes an academy and opens businesses, becoming the youngest county princess of the dynasty. The Empress personally inscribes a plaque: “Women can be pillars that hold up the sky.” And as for Gu Tingye, the man she spent half her previous life with, in this life he chases her all over the capital. “County Princess, please wait. This time, I want to marry you for who you are, not for any title you hold.” Qi Zhao smiles. “Want to marry me? Ask my brother first, then beat me at this game of chess.” In this life, she will protect the people she wants to protect and make the dreams she cherishes come true. Only when the sun and moon shine together is life complete.
