When she wakes up, special agent Ge Wanxi has become a three-year-old princess, facing a threat to her life from the moment she opens her eyes.
The good news: She has a wood-based ability and can understand what flowers and plants are saying.
The bad news: Her home is called Yongshou Palace, and Consort Shu, the most ruthless woman in the palace, lives next door.
At three, she takes on a consort. At four, she opens a shop.
When Wanxiang opens for business, the noblewomen of the capital fight over its goods.
Consort Shu wants to buy some? Sorry, it's limited edition and sold out.
But just as Consort Shu falls from power, a Tong Jia arrives at the palace.
The Fifth Prince says, "Her people have been looking into you lately."
Jingsheng says, "Her father knows more about flowers than anyone in the palace."
The Tenth Prince says, "Little sister, I saw her digging something up in the courtyard in the middle of the night."
Those who understand flowers best know how to make them "accidentally" wither.
The gentlest people know best where to stick the knife.
There are no eternal enemies in the palace, only eternal interests.
Outside the palace, there's no such thing as a free lunch, only the fragrant balms she makes herself: Tuberose, Sunset Rouge, Pine Fragrance. Each one is her source of confidence.
Jingsheng is eight, and she is five.
He says, "I'll protect you."
She says, "Then you'd better grow up fast."
But the undercurrents of the succession struggle are rising.
And she, a five-year-old princess, has already been swept into the heart of the maelstrom.
Tong Jia stands beneath a plum tree and smiles at her.
"Third Princess, come visit me often from now on."
Visit? She might never make it back.
But she isn't afraid.
Because she is Ge Wanxi.
A special agent in her previous life, a princess in this one.
She can understand the secrets of every leaf and make every flower work for her.
The palace is a sea, and she is determined to be the fish that swims the farthest.
