    Highly recommended! Ancient Chinese setting! Political intrigue! Rebirth novel, the white moonlight heroine returns to Chang'an! A blessing for those suffering from a reading slump! I'm recommending an amazing ancient Chinese political intrigue rebirth novel. The heroine's character is simply captivating! She once disguised herself as a man to become the King of Chang'an, a king with a different surname. On the surface, she pretended to be a treacherous villain. After death, her soul transmigrated into the new body of King Qin Buwen of Chang'an: "A full house of 108,000 guests, they respect not gods or Buddhas, but only me." "Who else?" "What?" "Gong Xishan, Li Yunmu, Yan Tang, Jing Xun, Song Jinyan, Yelü Yao, Yun Heyue, Changqing..." Even when drunk, the man's voice was exceptionally pleasant, without any hesitation or stuttering. "Who else, Qin Buwen?" Qin Buwen: "..." "Chang... Changqing is your guard!" Qin Buwen gritted his teeth! How much did Ji Junjiao drink? How did he get so drunk!? The dignified and upright Grand Secretary finally removed his disheveled and magnificent robes. The silk sash around his waist hung loosely, and a fine piece of jade lay dangling precariously from Qin Buwen's waist…
