   This is a new book I recently read. Although the female lead isn't a time-traveler from a young age, it's pretty much the same. I feel like 80% of the plot focuses on her career, another 15% on her experiences developing that career, and only 5% on their romance, which is also quite sweet!

    The plot, and even the dream she'd had, told her that even if she avoided Su Xu and Lin Mengli, once Su Xu became the Crown Prince, she and the entire Ning Prince's Mansion would still meet a tragic end. And honestly, even if the Ning Prince's Mansion barely survived, was she willing to live her entire life in the shadow of Su Xu and Lin Mengli? Their existence was like a sharp blade hanging over her head, constantly making her tremble with fear of when misfortune would strike. She was originally a rootless person; the Ning Prince's Mansion gave her kinship, honor, and pride. She was unwilling, even resentful, to spend her life groveling at the feet of people like Su Xu and Lin Mengli. Su Xu's engagement to her, and Su Xu becoming the Crown Prince, were the two most important turning points in the original story. One brought Su Xu the support of the Ning Prince's Mansion, and the other led to the original owner's untimely death. If the male lead's protagonist halo is too strong, and she is still betrothed to Su Xu, or waits for Su Xu to become the crown prince, will she also die a violent death like in her dream? Ning Xihua dared not deceive herself that as long as she didn't marry Su Xu, she could avoid the tragedy. The best way to avoid the tragedy was to make the originally victorious protagonists lose their protagonist status. As long as the betrothal didn't happen, and Su Xu ultimately failed to become the crown prince, then the Ning Prince's Mansion could seize a glimmer of hope.

The female lead transforms from a reserved and shrewd individual into the head of the Dark Pavilion, becoming decisive and ruthless. The story evolves from a strong female protagonist to a powerful duo, with each character complementing the other. From the harem to the martial arts world, then to the imperial court, and finally back to the common people! The story is full of twists and turns, and the later chapters fill in the gaps from the earlier ones. Everyone's intelligence is on point; it's truly a rare gem of ancient Chinese literature!
