Originally titled Peeling Back the Secret Identity of That Childhood Friend
The childhood sweetheart he loved died just before their wedding. As a result, Fourth Prince Chu Jingqi's personality changed completely. He shunned women and wanted only to spend the rest of his life cherishing their memories. His imperial elder brother, the emperor, worried himself sick over it, and specially sent him to Anjing to investigate a case and clear his head.
Unexpectedly, Chu Jingqi's investigation led him to a young woman.
She was strange. She avoided him whenever she saw him, yet secretly watched him from behind his back.
The Fourth Prince quietly kept an eye on her.
As he did, he discovered that in every way, she seemed just like his late childhood sweetheart.
The Fourth Prince had seen through her secret identity, but only smiled without a word. I'll just sit here and watch you.
Meng Xinran had only ever wanted to sneak a glimpse of him. She never expected that in the end, he would see his way into her heart.
Her secret identity was exposed.
Meng Xinran: Weren't you supposed to be cold and indifferent?
Chu Jingqi: That was just a rumor. Want me to show you how wild I can be?
Meng Xinran: ...Shut up!

Xu Yunling transmigrates into an old-school, melodramatic novel called The Regent's Love: Woman, You Can't Escape My Grasp. She becomes a cannon-fodder supporting female character who competes with the heroine for the male lead.
The novel's logic and plot are dead, and every character is crazy. The male lead is domineering, cold, and utterly deranged. He marries the heroine for power, then carries on an ambiguous relationship with the supporting female character, leaving the heroine's family in ruins and causing her to miscarry... The whole ordeal is brutal.
Xu Yunling is relieved to be only a supporting character. She plans to avoid the male and female leads, then eat well and wait for death.
But... after just one day, Xu Yunling realizes that even though she was supposed to be cannon fodder, the script has changed and she's become the heroine???
Xu Yunling is scared. She wants to run away...

Zhao Changyuan was born into a distinguished family and had won countless military honors. He went to war at ten, made his name in a single battle at fifteen, and became famous throughout the land. At eighteen, he returned to court to assist the young emperor. By twenty, he wielded power over the entire court and had become the Regent everyone feared.
Everyone under heaven assumed the Regent would one day usurp the throne. When they saw him ask the emperor for permission to marry General Xu's daughter, they became even more certain he was plotting treason. Xu Yunling herself thought so too.
But no one knew that one day, in the Xu family's backyard, Zhao Changyuan happened to see a young girl with a resentful look on her face, carrying a little bundle and struggling to climb over the wall with her skirt hitched up...
Hidden out of sight, Zhao Changyuan watched the girl sit on the wall, looking miserable and too afraid to move. His heart stirred faintly. A smile filled his eyes. For the first time, he thought that taking a little princess as his wife might not be so bad after all...

Premise:
I was even more confused. Didn't the eldest princess do this herself? Why, she can harm others, but others can't harm her in turn? Seeing the emperor's reaction, I thought he was having trouble with the eldest princess. Damn it... Is this the result? And why do you have to get married when you're pregnant... Don't talk about the reputation of the eldest princess. The eldest princess herself doesn't want to marry that person. Is reputation still an issue? Or is it that the royal family cannot afford to raise a child? It can only be said that the late emperor felt that it would harm the reputation of the royal family. This late emperor was nothing. His daughter, whom he had loved since childhood, could not compare to his reputation.
Why do you feel like the heroine is a bit stupid?
Seeing Xu Lai not telling the prince, is this a huge plot bug? Too unreasonable
If the eldest princess's matter is so serious, An Shiping may not have done it. This prince may have taken the blame for someone else? Could it be chaos? Lun???
I was thinking, what if Shen Ru was a boy? Just like Snape and Harry Potter, if Lily had given birth to a girl, what would have been the attitude of the eldest princess if Shen Zi knew that the child was a boy?
I was confused. This was a serious crime committed by the eldest princess. Even if the nine clans were not implicated, why should the princess be married off to a criminal? Emmmm
I don't like the heroine, she's too selfish and keeps holding her back.
Thanks for the limited exemption. It's very well written. Why aren't there many clicks? It's so good. Come on, author! I just feel that the description is a bit bland, and the female villain isn't given enough foreshadowing. It's not that easy for a person to become evil, right?
Author, Chu Huaiyu is a few years older than Shen Ru, let's count it as 3 years old, otherwise he would not be able to kill the heroine's mother with his purse, and then the heroine died on the eve of the wedding, and returned to the capital three years later. Chu Huaiyu died before finding her husband's family when she was 18 years old. That means Chu Huaiyu was 15 years old three years ago, and then she was three years older than the heroine. Did the heroine get married when she was 12 years old?
The princess is so capable, she has spies everywhere, she can poison the emperor, and she can also lead troops to fight... Hahahaha
