    Xin Si (Si Buyu, Xiaoyuer) x Wei Xin, ancient romance, time travel, female-dominated society, system, secret guard princess. System mission type. Female lead, the true daughter of the Empress's cinnabar mole, the second princess, the Prince of Zhenjiang, the Prince of Yi. Extremely cunning, thick-skinned, and incredibly sharp-tongued. Xin Si: Wei Xin alone accounts for nine and a half percent of the hypocrisy in this world. Due to her past experiences and family influence, the female lead is ruthless and difficult to trust. Wei Xin: Loyalty that is not perfect is zero. People are not simply black and white; it's just a matter of different perspectives and positions. He is absolutely loyal to her, she is her little unlucky one, and her blatant favoritism towards him is his monster. There is no parasitic relationship, but rather they fight side by side and can witness the prosperity of this golden age together.
