Dressed as Princess Lanling, I know he will be poisoned in five years. I used my knowledge of political science to fight side by side with him, but found that it was easier to save him than to save myself.
Zheng Wantang, a 28-year-old doctor of political science, specializes in the study of the collapse of power in the Northern Qi Dynasty. On the eve of her thesis defense, she died suddenly in the library and woke up as the concubine of Lanling King Gao Changgong - a woman whose name was not even left in the history books.
She is familiar with history: King Lanling will be given poisoned wine by Emperor Gao Wei five years later, and her ending is "unknown about her deeds, and she is suspected of dying for love." She decided to use all her knowledge to rewrite the ending.
But Northern Qi is not a thesis. There is a fatuous emperor, a treacherous minister who hides his sword behind his smile, a powerful female official, and a husband who is both alienated and wary of her. She must work step by step, from court games to battlefield planning, from dismantling traitorous ministers to supporting the new king.
However, she soon discovered that changing history is ten thousand times more difficult than studying history. Every victory comes with a price, and every ally may be sacrificed. The biggest challenge is not the power game - it is whether she can still remain rational and bear the possibility of "loss" when she truly falls in love with the man wearing the mask.
