Shen Qingci lived a wrong life. In her previous life, as the prime minister's legitimate daughter, she married the young general Lu Yanzhou due to her parents' orders. She was tired of the internal disputes and was indifferent and alienated from this loveless marriage. She concealed her identity as a lady and turned into a counselor behind the curtain. She assisted the prince Xiao Jingyan for several years under the name "Mr. Jing", helping him solve the difficulties in the court and resolve the crisis of the throne. She was his most trusted and respected lifelong confidant.
But she devoted all her resources to planning for her family and country and protecting the court, but she couldn't see through the sinister nature of people's hearts. Lu Yanzhou returns from the battlefield and brings back the rescued orphan girl Su Lianyue, but he does not know that this person is a top spy lurking in the enemy country. Wrapped up by selfish motives and conspiracy, the two teamed up to frame the Shen family for collaborating with the enemy, pushing her into a desperate situation. The Shen family was overthrown, and she was wrongfully executed.
It was not until her death that Jamel Xiao thoroughly investigated the unjust case, and was shocked to realize that the peerless adviser he had known through the curtain and relied on for several years was actually the prime minister's legitimate daughter who had always been gentle and uncontroversial, but whom he had missed all his life. The belated truth became his lifelong regret.
Once he is reborn, he returns to the age of his hair, the marriage contract has not been established, and the disaster has not occurred. Shen Qingci cut off the wrong marriage, put aside the regrets of his past life, and still planned the plot behind the curtain, secretly assisting the emperor. In this life, she not only wants to tear down traitors, smash espionage conspiracies, protect the whole family, and realize her lifelong political ambition, but she also wants to pursue the deep love between confidants that was let down in her previous life.
In the past, she was plotting for the country, but he was the only one left out; in this life, she and Xiao Jingyan, the emperor and his ministers, worked together in both directions to plan for the country and spend the rest of their lives with love. Finally, she came from behind the scenes and became his only crown princess, sharing the helm of the prosperous world with him.
Intention: Contemplating the world behind the curtain, I found out late that it was your return.
