Ji Suining (also known as Huairou) was the eldest daughter of Ji Mingyuan, the chief minister of the dynasty.
On the surface, he looks gentle and dignified, but he is actually a reborn chess player. In the previous life, because the family was on the wrong side, he became a victim in the fight for the right to inherit the throne, and ended up with a glass of poisonous wine. In this life, I can see through people's hearts. I don't admire love, but only believe in mutual benefits.
Preface to Chuhuai (Zi Chengye)
The prince of the current dynasty, the queen is the legitimate daughter of the dynasty
The prince who seems as gentle as jade is actually a hunter who is careful at every step. In a situation where the emperor was suspicious and surrounded by brothers, he had already developed his keenness and decisiveness to see through fire.
It starts with an open and honest "cooperation negotiation". He needs the resources and wisdom of her chief minister's daughter; she needs his identity as the crown prince to find a way for the family to survive.
Trust originates from precise cooperation and responsibility behind the delivery in crisis after crisis, and ultimately sublimates to understanding and cherishing at the soul level.
Shuangqiang IQ is online throughout the whole process: there is no frame-up by falling intelligence, and the struggle revolves around power, intelligence, and people's hearts.
The main line of trust does not waver: there are never any bloody plots such as third parties, misunderstandings, and angry breakups. Emotion is a deep bond after rational choice.
The heroine wins respect and status with her brains, not as a love tool.
