    The title "Last Year's Lantern Festival: Lanterns Like Daylight" really doesn't do it justice. The female lead is Princess Li Song, who, after losing her memory, becomes a palace maid guarding the imperial tombs, tending to her ancestral graves every day, while the entire dynasty believes she has been dead for a year. This isn't a rebirth story, nor is it time travel; it's a tale of amnesia, political intrigue, and suspense, with incredibly deep foreshadowing that gets more exciting as it progresses. If you enjoy the layered plots of "Chang'an's Lychees," or if you like intelligent female leads, identity reversals, and palace intrigue, this is definitely worth checking out.
