The Phoenix Bed Curtains (Reborn)

This novel: 1. Xie Ning is a twin, and the cherished little princess of her father and brothers. Spoiled and doted on, she grows up carefree and unfettered. Only after she is captured at the imperial hunting grounds does Xie Ning learn the true nature of Tan Qingrang, the chancellor. Tan Qingrang rose to prominence at a young age, placing first in the imperial examination at fifteen and becoming chancellor at twenty. His power eclipses the court, and he holds the empire in the palm of his hand. At last, at the hunting grounds, he seizes the chance to kill the crown prince while the emperor is away on campaign, captures the princess, and tortures Xie Ning to death. 2. Reborn into a new life, Xie Ning finds herself back at the hunting grounds, with her elder brother missing. In the dense forest, Tan Qingrang appears before her once again. Xie Ning slashes his throat with a dagger. This time, Xie Ning disguises herself as the crown prince and takes on the heavy duty of governing in the emperor's absence. Under cover of night, Tan Qingrang's eyes are as cold as a deep pool. In a stern voice, he asks, "Your Highness, do you have pierced ears?" To save her father and brothers, and protect the Great Liang, Xie Ning uses every trick she can think of to deal with Tan Qingrang. At court, she presses the chancellor at every turn, refusing to yield an inch. In private, she turns on her charms and teases him until he breaks into a sweat. She had meant to find evidence and bring him down, but when she discovers Tan Qingrang's true identity, she tosses her head and says: "This princess is done playing. I'm out." 3. Tan Qingrang is also a twin. His elder brother, a prodigy renowned throughout the capital, eventually buckles under the pressure, his mind warped until he goes down a path of no return. This is the Chancellor's Estate's secret, and the burden Tan Qingrang bears. To stop his brother from committing a terrible crime, and to protect the Great Liang's realm and imperial family, he carefully plots and lays his plans, keeping his silence all the while. It is only after he meets the "crown prince," who has mistaken him for someone else and harbors a secret of her own, that the old chancellor finally crumbles under her fierce pursuit and falls for her, step by step. She is clever, warm, and adorable, like a bright flame that suddenly sets him alight. From then on, he cherishes her above all else. But then she says, "I'm done playing..."
