   Reader note

   The first book tells the sweet daily life of two love-struck individuals after marriage. Rong Chengli, the second daughter of the former Prince Gongping of the Great Cheng Kingdom, is twenty years old and still unmarried, much to the dismay of her parents. One day, she meets Xu Yunci at the foot of Huihe Mountain and falls instantly in love, calling him "Hi, wife~" and begging the Emperor for a marriage decree. Rong Chengli initially believes it's a marriage she forced, but unexpectedly, her seemingly aloof husband is constantly by her side, softly calling her "wife" and "sister," letting her do whatever she wants. The second book tells the story of a tragic love story where there's a "white moonlight" (ideal love interest). These individuals may die young, go abroad, or make a wrong choice. Before the story begins, they leave the heroine's side, but they all share one thing in common: after the story begins, because the heroine and hero fall in love, they inevitably become like grains of rice on the ground, despised and hated for various inexplicable reasons. Lin Qingchi, with her eccentric personality, hates seeing the moon fall into the mud; she picks up the rice grains and treats them with sincerity.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself transmigrated into the body of the short-lived second princess of a matriarchal world. This princess, sharing the same name, relied on the empress's favor to indulge in extravagance and debauchery, ultimately meeting a tragic end. When Xie Linyu opened her eyes again, the soul inhabiting her body had been replaced by Xie Linyu from the modern world. With years of experience as a corporate slave, Xie Linyu was adept at navigating the complexities of different factions, living behind a mask. Outwardly gentle and composed, she was actually cautious and suspicious. After sorting out the original owner's memories and her current situation, the first thing she did was pull the man, obsessed with revenge, from the dungeon. However, the man woke up and said: "You're not her. Kill me." Xie Linyu: "Let's talk this out. Don't die yet. Help me gain a foothold before you die." And so, one was a fake princess who only wanted to live a peaceful life, and the other was a true strategist who had long since had enough of life. One was good at "playing chess within the rules," and the other was good at "observing people's hearts from the shadows." They agreed to only use each other and get what they needed, but in the daily interactions in the princess's palace and in the process of working together to resolve crises, feelings secretly developed between them... Meanwhile, the empress, who held the reins of power over the world, maintained a subtle and unspoken silence among these daughters vying for the throne. She never took the initiative, nor did she easily favor anyone.

    [Learned][Learned] Female-dominated society, a villainous woman reborn, manipulating power and schemes, doting on her husband alone 🍁🍁 Jiang Tang is a thoroughly evil person, ruthless and decisive in her methods, meticulous in her thinking, each step linked to the next, effortlessly taking lives. From beginning to end, the only pure land in her heart was Xiao Bai, and only Xiao Bai. 🌱🌱 Jiang Youbai is a rational love-struck person. He consciously ignores the darkness Jiang Tang doesn't want him to know. Jiang Tang is his only option when he has no other choice, and also his only option for the rest of his life. Jiang Tang was blinded by her high position for too long. One misstep, and she was trampled by everyone. On her deathbed, recalling her past life, everyone said that she deserved to be killed because she had done too many bad things. But if given another chance, Jiang Tang chuckled softly. "I would grind those who hurt me, deceived me, and harmed me to dust. I would crush the four kingdoms beneath my feet, grind them down, shatter them. I would become the sword hanging over their heads, making even the thought of resistance a luxury." That smile remained wicked and insane.

    That seemingly harmless, sickly young master—at first, I genuinely thought he was just there to fill a role. Turns out, he's the most cunning character in the entire book. While others win favor with their words, he wins with his medical records—one day he coughs twice and gets the female lead to personally deliver his medicine, the next day he accidentally spills the medicine bowl on her path. The worst part is he never speaks ill of anyone; he just pauses at the perfect moment when the female lead is praising someone, then smiles and says, "He really is very good." The female lead can brood over this all night. I was cursing as I read, but afterwards I couldn't help but admire him; in a palace drama, that kind of cunning would allow him to survive until the very last episode.
