(I've finished revising it, I've finished revising it. I'm off work for the day, updating now.)
Xiao Xiao was reborn in an era that didn't exist in any history book.
The good news: She was born into a prominent family in the capital, and this was the plot of a book.
The bad news: The entire family was to be executed, and the date was just six months after she arrived. She hadn't even finished reading the book.
The better news: She wasn't a biological member of the Xiao family, so the family's execution had nothing to do with her.
The worse news: Only the main branch of the Xiao family knew the truth. Outsiders didn't, so she would still die.
Xiao Xiao decided to make the best of her situation, but what should she do when things suddenly strayed from their original course?
The Xiao family's legitimate eldest daughter returned from martial arts training. Xiao Xiao hid to one side, trying to make herself as inconspicuous as possible as she watched and grumbled.
Oh, my dear sister, you're truly blind to what's right in front of you. You brought an enemy spy home. You want to save his life, but he wants to take your whole family's lives. What's so great about men? Can't we just live our own beautiful lives?
The eldest daughter, who had just stepped down from the carriage: Little sister is right! Men can all get lost!
She promptly sent him to the Ministry of Justice.
The master of the Xiao household returned from court with the chancellor, whom he'd invited over for drinks.
Xiao Xiao, coming from afar to see her father: My dear father, do you really have to hand people evidence they can use to spread rumors about you? Don't you know the chancellor supports the Third Prince? Why are you getting so close to him when you're on the Crown Prince's side? You'll be caught between both sides before you know it.
Master Xiao stiffened and used illness as an excuse to distance himself from the chancellor.
After hearing his little sister's thoughts, the eldest Xiao brother, who worked at the Ministry of War, promptly burned everything he'd drawn overnight.
The next day, after the Ministry of Justice secretly searched the place, the eldest Xiao brother began hunting for the mole.
Well, well. Once they started looking, they discovered that everyone in the Xiao family except the main branch had their own agenda. But none of that concerned Xiao Xiao. By then, she'd brought home a quiet young man.
He wasn't in Xiao Xiao's memories, but the moment she saw him, she was smitten. His looks were exactly her type.
Eldest Xiao sister: Little sister, listen to me. Men will only slow us down when we're drawing our swords.
Xiao Xiao: Sister, I don't want to roam the world with a sword. My goal is to raise lots of handsome young men.
Eldest Xiao brother: Little sister, that's not right. We have to be devoted to one person.
Xiao Xiao: Devotion is an excuse for the weak. We need to become strong, so others will be devoted to me. I can't be the one devoted to them.
A few months later, Master Xiao returned to the capital after completing a secret mission for the emperor. The moment he stepped through the gates of his residence, he froze. T-the young prince...
Rumor had it that the young prince was volatile, but the emperor favored him greatly. He was every bit the equal of the Crown Prince.
Xiao Xiao: Can I take back what I said last time?
Eldest Xiao sister: Um... Young Prince, why are you carrying a bucket? Let me help you, let me help you.
Eldest Xiao brother: Well... I wasn't saying you weren't manly before. I meant myself.
Mute boy: Don't worry. I remember everything.

Theme: Love life
Annoying, hasn't the heroine already decided to ignore this second sister? Although it is a group favorite novel, the heroine does not need to be too strong, but this is too naive and simple. In the later stage, she will always be taken advantage of, and then rely on the help of various people around her.
