Jinzhao is a little phoenix. To find her younger brother, she decides to descend to the mortal realm.
Unfortunately, she arrives at the wrong time. As soon as the little phoenix reaches the human world, she discovers that days of heavy rain have swollen the rivers and the farmland is at risk of failing to yield a harvest.
The people gather of their own accord at the River God's temple, offering sacrifices and praying for the River God to stop the rain, lower the water, and end the flood.
Before long, the temple is piled so high with offerings that there's no room for any more.
The little phoenix, so tempted by the food she can't move: ...
If the old River God doesn't take the job soon, she's going to steal it from him!

When the Retired Emperor Li Yuan hears that his youngest daughter, who died twenty-seven years ago, has come back to life, he doesn't believe it, not until she comes to demand of him-
Her younger brother only wanted an imperial throne back then. He wasn't asking for the stars in the sky. Why hadn't he simply given it to him?
Li Yuan: ???
Now he believes her, because-
That unmistakably inherited favoritism proves at a glance that she's his own daughter!

The male lead left home for years to complete a secret mission. At long last, he returns, only to learn that his father has been sent down to the countryside.
After a long search, the male lead finally finds out where his father is. He hurries there, afraid that if he's even a little late, he'll be separated from his elderly father forever.
But when he arrives, he sees his father looking rosy and vigorous. From far away, he can hear the old man saying in a booming voice to a young woman, "What do you think of my youngest son? Sure, he's a little old, but older men know how to treat you well. He's got a great personality too. If you two start dating, when you tell him to go east, he won't go west. Tell him to beat the dog, and he won't chase the chicken."
The male lead, who is only twenty-three but has been the army's resident troublemaker for years: ???

After transmigrating to ancient times, xx realizes her situation isn't great.
The original owner is a young widow sent back to her parents' home, along with her three-year-old son.

The xx who has transmigrated in touches her still-burning forehead, then looks at the little one leaning against her without crying or fussing even though his stomach is rumbling. She silently pulls out a butcher's knife-

When will I find out she's the older sister?
What?! [Laughing and crying with face covered] He actually went down to steal things himself!
Because it was Erfeng's instruction, right?
The Tang Code with Commentary was compiled by Changsun Wuji and others during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang.
That's really practical. Something affordable will do.
So he's the male lead?
