[A clear-headed, resilient, reborn princess × a devoted, gentle, and patient Prince Ding'an]
Qi Zhiyuan is the legitimate princess of An, cherished by everyone since childhood.
When she was eight, her mother and elder brother died one after another, but her father confined her to Yongning Palace for ten years.
As the struggle between the imperial family and the great clans grew more intense, eighteen-year-old Qi Zhiyuan became a pawn to keep Xie Munan in check.
On the emperor's say-so that they were "truly a well-matched pair," Qi Zhiyuan was made the Princess of Zhen'nan and married off to Xie Munan.
They rarely saw each other after the wedding. Qi Zhiyuan wanted to improve their relationship, but Xie Munan was a cold-hearted man by nature.
She could never warm his heart, and he never saw her kindness.
When a prince unexpectedly staged a coup, the innocent Princess of Zhen'nan, who had always done everything by the book, was caught up in it and died a cruel death in her own residence.
As she lay dying, Qi Zhiyuan begged for the first time in her life, only to receive his cold reply: "There's no need to meet."
She awoke from her dream, reborn two years in the past, and vowed to stay far away from the whirlpool of political power.
But as it turned out, she was already caught up in it.
The emperor died suddenly, leaving the throne vacant.
The following day, the palace issued three edicts.
First edict: The late emperor's fifth son, Qi Shijing, is named the new emperor.
Second edict: The late emperor's legitimate daughter, Qi Zhiyuan, is named the Grand Princess.
Third edict: Prince Ding'an, Xie Munan, is named regent.
Review:
The story begins with Qi Zhiyuan, a pawn poisoned and on the brink of death,
who gave her heart to the wrong person in her first life and wants nothing more to do with him.
The story ends with Xie Munan, decisive and ruthless, unable to hide that he has fallen in love,
bowing his head and offering to be the stepping stone that helps her reach the top.
Married across two lives: one filled with resentment, the other with love.
May they be husband and wife, loving each other and reunited for lifetimes to come.
