Li Zhengrong was an ignorant, worthless princess who acted arrogantly and recklessly, all because her father was the emperor. Later, when the nation fell, angry citizens pushed her up onto the city wall and demanded that she atone with her life.
The good news: she was reborn.
The bad news: she had no idea how the nation had fallen.
Ever since being reborn, Li Zhengrong kept dreaming in the middle of the night that she stood atop a towering city wall, her clothes snapping in the wind. Someone rode toward her, blood obscuring her vision. She only heard them shout:
"A Ying, don't jump!"
After much thought, she picked out a few likely candidates.
Cheng Yan, the refined vice director of the Imperial College: her unrequited crush, whom she had failed to win over despite openly pursuing him.
Nie Ge, the neglected hostage from an enemy nation: her kindred spirit and exotic rogue of a friend.
Qiu Yinghui, the sinister Ninth Thousand-Year-Old: her former fiance, whom her father had castrated after wiping out his family.
Later, Li Zhengrong thought, none of it mattered. As long as the nation didn't fall, none of those things would happen. Her gaze settled on the Nine-Dragon Throne.
Her brothers scoffed at her for being a woman with delusions of grandeur.
She raised her head and declared, "I grew up on this Nine-Dragon Throne. What makes you think you can compete with me?"
When she discovers that her life is a gilded cage, she'll break free.
