In her previous life, Ji Yuan appeared to be a concubine in the Crown Prince's household, but in private she was the strategist who offered him advice. Sadly, when the birds were gone, the good bow was put away. The moment the Crown Prince ascended the throne, he ended her life with a cup of poison.
After being reborn, Ji Yuan refused to repeat her past mistakes. Disguised as a man, she sat for the imperial examinations and entered government service.
Away from the women's quarters, Ji Yuan thrived in court:
The current Grand Secretary treated her like his own child and taught her with care.
The future general cherished her and granted her every request.
A young tycoon regarded her as a kindred spirit and trusted her completely.
As for the Crown Prince who had once hurt her, he could only gaze at her from afar, unable to get any closer.
In the past, she had helped the Crown Prince take the throne. Now, Ji Yuan wanted to taste the power of the throne for herself.
For the realm, for the people, and for herself, she would forge a different path from the one she had walked in her previous life.
Qu Huaice, the future general who would defend the realm, was still Qu Shen, a lone-wandering swordsman. He had a secret.
He was in love with his closest friend, Ji Yuan.
But Ji Yuan was also a man, so Qu Shen could only keep his bittersweet feelings to himself.
Only when Ji Yuan revealed her true identity to him did he understand where that inexplicable flutter in his heart came from.
Qu Shen: As long as it's what you want, no matter how difficult it is, I'll get it for you. The realm is no exception, and neither is anything else.
Ji Yuan smiled: The realm isn't hard to take. It's your heart, dear husband, that's hard to win.
