Blurb:
Emperor Jingxuan was one of the most controversial emperors in history.
In the first half of his life, he was wise, mighty, and exceptionally talented. In just twelve years after ascending the throne, he united a realm that had been divided for a hundred years.
In the second half of his life, he became cruel, murderous, incompetent, and tyrannical. He nearly dragged the country he had built back to the brink of collapse.
The turning point behind this drastic change was the Princess Case, known in history as the greatest tragedy of all time.
This once nearly perfect emperor was fiercely protective of his children.
He doted on them to the extreme, so much so that the princesses of the Jing Dynasty were all arrogant and fond of playing power games. Princess Mingchen was the worst of them.
As Emperor Jingxuan's most beloved daughter, Princess Mingchen held great power and could practically be called The Outcast, second only to the emperor himself. Even the crown prince had to give way to her.
Yet this princess was killed in broad daylight at the entrance to the Zhengwu Gate.
The emperor refused to believe it was an accident, so he began a thirty-year purge of the aristocratic clans, leaving rivers of blood and countless wrongful convictions in its wake.
Emperor Jingxuan went from a wise ruler comparable to a sage to a tyrant condemned by everyone.
On the very first day after Gu Mingyi transmigrated, she discovered she had become the daughter of this notorious tyrant.
At the time, the tyrant was still a prince living with his children in a remote fief. The victim of the Princess Case, the future Princess Mingchen herself, was still a tiny little girl.
Gu Mingyi immediately decided to use the System to change everything and make sure none of the tragedies ever happened.
But before she could even begin, she discovered that her secret had been exposed.

Gu Mingchen thought her Third Sister was a little strange. Ever since she was injured and woke up, she had been kept under house arrest to recuperate.
She sneaked over to visit her, only to discover that her sister didn't speak with her mouth.
Even stranger, her sister was thinking that their gentle, lovely, beautiful father would not only become emperor in the future, but also a great tyrant.
And she herself, his sweet and thoughtful Fifth Sister, would become a cruel killer who would die young.
Gu Mingchen thought Father was right. Third Sister really was sick.

The Fiancé Is a Dragon-Proud Protagonist
What should you do when you're betrothed to a Dragon-Proud Protagonist?
Thinking of those hugely popular broken-engagement novels and the disastrous fate of the original story's heroine, Yun Ying forcibly suppressed her urge to break off the engagement.
It was fine. The Dragon-Proud Protagonist was bound to attract countless admirers, and before long, beautiful confidantes would be all over him. Then she could break up with him at the right moment, with a perfectly reasonable excuse.
But no matter how long she waited, not a single flirtatious beauty showed up, and Yun Ying grew more and more anxious.
So she had no choice but to become a matchmaker, burn incense to the God of Marriage, and search everywhere for romantic prospects for her fiancé.
*
One day, a group of wealthy second-generation heirs in the capital arranged to meet up. Along the way, they ran into a small mishap: a girl tripped and accidentally fell toward them.
Lian Yi leaped three feet into the air in fright, then shot eight meters away like a rabbit, watching helplessly as the girl smacked into the ground. He showed not the slightest tenderness toward her.
His friend was baffled and asked in exasperation, "Is she really that scary? She's just a young woman, and a beauty at that. It's not like she'll eat you."
Still shaken, Lian Yi patted his chest in relief. "You don't understand. I have a fiancée who spends every day hoping I'll cheat on her. If I so much as do anything that looks improper, she'll dump me immediately."
So to him, maintaining his virtue and keeping himself above suspicion mattered more than the sky falling.

In just one chapter, my father changed. He may have never changed. From the chapters I read, I think he loves the heroine very much. From the introduction, I thought the heroine's power was certain, but it turned out that the emperor had no such idea at all. The real power of the heroine is slowly earned by herself. It would be better if the heroine was born in modern times.
A biological daughter is not as good as an adopted son...
It is human nature to love power and enjoyment, regardless of gender. The so-called nature of women to give birth is just a vicious theory that men viciously brainwash women and men spare no effort to suppress women. No one wants to take the initiative to bear the pain of childbirth, it is forced. Who stabs himself even though he knows it's very painful? This is against human nature.
So sudden, so sudden, the progress accelerated all of a sudden, and suddenly everyone compromised.
Finished? A bit lame...
The heroine's father indulged the heroine's nature. He hoped that she would have perseverance and determination that would not be changed by external forces. She did it, and now he has broken her knowledge with his own hands. It is so sad.
It sucks, but it's fun
???????? That's it?? Is this the end? Get your money back!
There is no eternal love, only eternal interests... Women always love longer than men
"Crazy" is a big thorn in the side of the author~
