[True Princess × Prime Minister | Rebirth and Revenge × Court Strategy | The Road of the Empress × Side by Side with Confidants]
In my previous life, I was Xiao Mingtang, the legitimate princess of Daliang, and I was sent to the wedding sedan of Beiyan. But because of the jealousy of his biological sister, he eventually died of hatred.
After my rebirth, I became the "Prince" Xiao Mingzhao.
This time, I want to take back everything that belongs to me - the position of prince, the power of the court, and the country of thousands of miles.
But under the dragon chair, there are the concubine Shu and the King of Jin who are eyeing him, the eyes of Murong Yuan of Beiyan who can see through everything, and the overwhelming criticism from the government and the public about "women interfering in politics".
And he - Gu Yanqi, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was the only person who collected my corpse for me in my previous life, but in this life he has become my most dangerous ally and... My deepest mystery.
I choose to join forces with him:
When the Yellow River flooded, I went to the disaster area to share the wind and rain with him;
In the midst of strife in the court, I clean away the moths with my iron-blooded wrist;
The envoy from Beiyan came, and under his cover, I sneaked into the enemy country to rescue my sister.
But those eyes that can see through people's hearts are always watching me quietly, as if they have already seen through the secret under this python robe.
Until we drank wine on a snowy night, he put a mutton-fat jade pendant into my palm:
"My heart pleases Your Highness, and I will remain so forever."
In the Jinluan Palace, I was granted the title of Crown Princess as a woman, and below the imperial steps, he led hundreds of officials to shout long live.
In the Mingli Academy, I handed back the jade pendant and offered Daliangshanhe as my appointment:
"I take this ornament as an invitation, and ask you if you are willing to conclude a 'concentric alliance' with me, and become my 'junior couple', standing side by side in this life, and guarding the world together?"
He bowed his head and used the oldest oath of alliance:
"This body, this heart, and this life are all dedicated to Your Majesty."
