Su Lanqing had just been killing her brother and father with blood on her hands one moment, then transmigrated into the body of a tyrannical crown prince who was a woman in disguise the next.
The first person she saw was a man kneeling with his head bowed before her. He wore no official robes, only a thin inner garment. In the snowy winter cold, he fought to keep from shivering as he pleaded that his master had been wrongly accused.
Later, Su Lanqing found out.
The kneeling man was named Song Tinglan. She also learned that just before she transmigrated, the tyrannical crown prince had killed the very master Song Tinglan had been pleading for.
How did she know? Because she had transmigrated into the “female-lead-centric” novel her assistant had been reading.
The real female lead was someone else. The tyrannical crown prince, who shared Su Lanqing's name, was nothing but a cannon-fodder character.
As for that Song fellow, her assistant had said that because he refused to join the female lead's harem, the other men in it eventually did something to him... In short, he met a tragic end.
The man bowed his head to the ground again, blood streaming down his forehead, still insisting on clearing his master's name.
Su Lanqing merely waved for someone to take him away and began thinking about her predicament.
In the original story, the crown prince took a liking to Song Tinglan and brought him into the Eastern Palace, but she wouldn't do that.
She wasn't the sort of person who judged by looks.
But later...
What happened later is another story.
The next time she saw him, they were in the Eastern Palace.
He emerged beneath the bright spring sky, lowered his eyes, and stopped her at the bridge.
