Miss Biao An

In March of the thirtieth year of the Jinghe reign, two things happened in the capital: one major and one not quite so major. The major event was the emperor's decree summoning the vassal king's heir back to the capital, heralding an approaching storm. The less major event was Chancellor Su Qiwen being impeached by a censor for keeping a mistress and having an illegitimate son, proving him unworthy of his position. To clear his name, he brought home his cousin's daughter, Su Shaoyin, who had grown up in the countryside. Meanwhile, in a corner no one noticed, the eldest daughter of the Hanlin Scholar Ji, Ji Shuran, fell into the water, woke up, and found herself with someone else's soul. Su Shaoyin was reborn at the very beginning of everything. She still boarded the carriage bound for the capital. She had no choice: most of her enemies were there! On the road, she encountered bandits just as she had in her previous life. And, just as before, a hero appeared out of nowhere to save the damsel in distress. When the same blunt arrow from her previous life came flying toward her, she used its momentum to drive it through the hero's chest, breaking her ill-fated romantic entanglement! Then she hid behind her wet nurse, eyes red and helpless, casting a distant gaze toward the capital. Dear family, she's ready to face whatever storms come. Are you? In Su Shaoyin's mind, this life would probably go something like this: take on her ruthless aunt, expose her sweet-tongued, hypocritical cousin, contend with her shrewd uncle and inscrutable male cousin, and keep her brawny younger cousin in line. She would uncover the truth about her birth and change the fate that had led her to be exiled to the northern border in her previous life. Make lots of money, then stop her friend from transmigrating when the time came. If she succeeded, she would grant her friend her wish to "never come back." If she failed, she would bundle up her friend and all their money and head for Jiangnan to live freely, making up for the journey she had never taken in her previous life. Oh, right, she also had to repay a debt of gratitude. Now that she was back, she couldn't let the man as bright as the moon suffer the same tragedy as in her previous life. But Su Shaoyin never expected that one distant glance along a mountain road would send fate down a different path. Xie Zhi, heir to the Prince of the Northern Border, wished only for peace at the frontier and a comfortable life for the people. He never imagined that one distant glance along a mountain road would become another obsession for the rest of his life. On the city wall, Su Shaoyin watched her moon-bright man marry the woman he loved in a grand procession of red. Xie Zhi grinned, though his words said otherwise. "You're just going to watch? Aren't you going to steal him away? Can you really bear it?" A trace of laughter rose in Su Shaoyin's eyes. She turned to look at Xie Zhi, the moonlight falling just right on him. Xie Zhi forcibly suppressed the corners of his mouth from curling up. He'd already decided to train hard and take care of himself, so he could become her second husband one day. He never expected fate to treat him so kindly! Ji Shuran: ...Are we still going to Jiangnan? Please save my upcoming novel, "The Chancellor's Legitimate Daughter" Gu Yuzhen's father, the prime minister, is a notorious villain in the Jin Dynasty. To her, his titles also include faithless husband and deadbeat father. Ten years ago, her villainous father gave Gu Yuzhen a worthless copper lock plate, bundled her off to the old family home in the countryside, and never gave her another thought. Ten years later, he sent someone to bring her back to the prime minister's residence. Her father was a monster who wanted to use her in a political marriage to win over the bloodthirsty Grand Commander. Gu Yuzhen transmigrated into the story at this exact point. Before she could even adjust to her new identity, one scheme and frame-up after another came her way. She had no choice but to parry each attack before finding a way to strike back. She never lost a battle against her stepmother and stepsister. Before long, all of the capital knew Gu Yuzhen was a poor little thing. Her father had power over the whole land, yet she couldn't get enough to eat at home. It was enough to break anyone's heart! At last, the censors found a way to impeach the villainous chancellor, and they submitted a memorial every few days. Her villainous father: "There's a palace banquet tomorrow. Make a good impression and show some dignity befitting the prime minister's legitimate daughter!" Gu Yuzhen: "Pay me more!" Xiao Shaoan was the emperor's publicly deployed blade, meant to help him restrain the treacherous chancellor and eliminate his enemies. If Chancellor Gu was the notorious villain of the land, Xiao Shaoan was the murderous fiend who could stop children from crying at night. He knew the chancellor wanted to use a legitimate daughter who had long been cast aside to drive a wedge between them. So from the very beginning, he'd decided to teach the chancellor's daughter a lesson after they married! But she's so beautiful, so sweet, and so capable! Xiao Shaoan: My wife is frail and helpless. The emperor: No! Open your eyes and look at what a tiger she is! Theme: Live a life that's truly your own
