Princess Changning

In her previous life, she was a princess, dignified and obedient, yet no one loved her.

Her childhood sweetheart stood tall and solemn in the plum garden, brushing snow off someone else's clothes. "Your Highness, there is a difference between ruler and subject."

The words "Brother Yu" caught in her throat, as plum-blossom snow settled over her head.

The prince who had once laughed while holding her as a child looked at her with disappointment, holding someone else in his arms. "Your Highness, why must you be so aggressive?"

As the sound of hoofbeats faded into the distance, she threw away the clay figurine her little uncle had given her, the one she'd kept for years.

Her imperial brother, the emperor, demoted her title by one rank, lavished rewards on someone else, then confined her to the palace for two years. "Changning, I never thought you could be so cruel."

She leaned against the window and watched him leave. Rain fell outside, but not a drop touched his sedan chair, yellow imperial robe, or dragon boots. He was nothing like the miserable, drenched little prince she'd met ten years ago.

Her younger brother killed the red horse she'd raised for eight years and returned the saddle blanket she'd embroidered herself. "Sister, this horse hurts people."

He'd forgotten how, during the chaos in Mobei City, that useless horse had carried her as she rode over a city filled with corpses, holding a token and invoking Princess Changning's name to save him.

She'd thought that people were hard to understand and would always change. After being reborn, she swore she'd never be kind to anyone again. But what was going on with all those people, one after another?

P.S. 1. The male lead does not appear in the blurb.

2. The female lead is neither a saint nor an idiot. She simply made the choices that were right for her circumstances, and has a clear conscience.
