Originally titled Drunk Under Heaven
[Female-Centric Heroine + Political Intrigue + No Romance + Revenge]
She was hunted down and killed by twelve sects, then saddled with a fabricated crime: "Stealing the secrets of heaven and changing the fates of others."
But for her boundless merit, she was allowed to be reborn with all her memories intact, becoming the most beloved Ninth Princess of the Great Sheng Dynasty.
The emperor had been paving her way since her hundred-day celebration: if she wanted the realm, he would give it to her.
In her previous life, she lived to protect all living beings, only to have her bones trampled and be made a target.
In this life, she lives only for herself.
But the closer she gets to the truth, the more she discovers that the web is deeper than she imagined. The mastermind behind the hunt has been hiding by her side all along.
Wearing the face of someone she knows best.
The guest star suspended in the night sky began to shine twenty years before she was born.
She knows that if her identity is exposed, she will die. But what she doesn't know is that she is the one thing it fears.
As for those afraid she'll wake up?
She hasn't remembered them yet.
But she will soon.
(Not a mindless wish-fulfillment story. This is a serious political intrigue novel, focused on high-IQ maneuvering and carefully laid plans with subtle clues. Readers who dislike slow burns, proceed with caution.)
(This is an alternate-history setting. The dynasties, place names, and government systems all serve the story, so please don't expect them to correspond exactly to real history.)
