When Will Jin Ci Return?

I was the legitimate daughter of a military family, held aloft by the Great Yong Dynasty. My father and brother guarded the frontier, my maternal grandfather was richer than anyone south of the Yangtze, and the entire capital was certain I was born to be crown princess and would one day become empress. But as I gazed at the moon on Mid-Autumn Festival, a vision struck me awake: dressed in a phoenix robe, I watched the entire Shen family marched to the execution grounds, where the blades fell and blood stained the long street! The Crown Prince, who had always spoken gently to me, was a monster who colluded with foreign enemies and betrayed his country. My family was destroyed because of him!

I clutched the evidence of the Crown Prince’s treason, ready to risk everything, when a once-in-a-thousand-years alignment of seven stars appeared. When I opened my eyes again, I had become a timid young madam in a wealthy family in 2026, someone anyone could bully. The original owner was weak and abused, the Fu family’s collateral branch was seizing power, and the company was on the verge of bankruptcy? What a joke! I am a military heiress skilled in both letters and arms, and well versed in business. How could I let anyone push me around? I tore into the vicious relatives, saved the Fu family from disaster, and somehow the cold CEO Fu Sinian, whose marriage to me was purely a business arrangement, ended up treating me like the apple of his eye.

But the moment I found a book of unofficial history in the library, I turned cold all over. History said the entire Shen family was ultimately executed, and though the Fifth Prince later cleared their name, he could never bring them back. I have to return! Rewrite my fate, protect my whole family, and destroy the traitors who sold out the country!

Armed with modern knowledge, I returned to the Great Yong Dynasty. Step by step, I exposed the Crown Prince’s false benevolence, rooted out every spy and accomplice, and joined forces with the patient, wise Fifth Prince to turn the Shen family’s death sentence into everlasting glory! The entire court kneels and begs me to become empress. Is a phoenix crown and robes, and ruling the realm as its mother, to be my destiny? But a thousand years from now, someone is waiting for me beneath the alignment of seven stars. Is fate decided by me, or by the heavens?
