In the fourth year of Zhengping under the Great Chen, the Emperor is bedridden, powerful in-laws and officials struggle for influence, and rebels rise across the land. Princess Xianning is married off to Song Fang, the legitimate son of the illustrious Song clan, a family with four generations of high-ranking officials. Instead, the Song family is destroyed.
When Song Zhi wakes up, she discovers that she has become Song Fang's younger sister. The carriage bearing Princess Xianning, who has come to marry, has already arrived at the gates, but Song Fang has mysteriously drowned. With no other choice, she takes his place in the wedding, hoping to escape the catastrophe that awaits.
Conspiracies, massacres, war, politics, and deception. When steadfast notions of good and evil are turned upside down, and right and wrong twisted beyond recognition, should she withdraw, or keep sinking deeper into the illusion...?
Reading guide:
① This story draws heavily on the Han Dynasty, including its official ranks, clothing, and culture. I've researched plenty of material, so it has a satisfyingly authentic feel!
② Crispy and savory on the outside, with kindness and innocence amid the schemes, and a hint of justice amid the evil. Sweet and refreshing inside, with a gentle, tangy romance that softens the bloody taste of political power.
③ A princess who never does anything without a reason and calculates every step X a weak, naive daughter of a landowning family whose thinking is gradually being reshaped by her modern outlook.
④ Serious drama! Happy ending! A brain-teaser! Don't shatter my stubborn pretense that this is a mystery!

Theme:
I really want to watch the extra story about the meeting between the princess and Song Zhi. It can be considered an open ending. The rest is left to us to imagine that the princess and Song Zhi continue their relationship in the modern era. There are tears at the end. Maybe it's because I personally feel moved. The tears are too low. When I think of Song's father asking the female boss what her name is, the female boss was stunned for a moment and said, Chu He, I was really so excited that I wanted to cry. As for the author may not continue to write about the meeting between Chu He and Song Zhi in modern times, hahaha, maybe let us think for ourselves. The writing is very good. This is the second book about such an ancient drama that I have read. Maybe the next one will be great. I hope the author will work hard. I will read every one of your books.
