Also known as: The Ming Dynasty's First Crown Princess,
Nan Sheng opens her eyes and scores a transmigration package deal.
Good news: Her parents are devoted to each other, her husband is gentle, and her baby is adorable.
Bad news: Her memories are gone.
At first, she thinks she is in an alternate dynasty.
Until one day, an old man selling flatbreads on the street hums a little tune:
“Speak of Fengyang, sing of Fengyang, Fengyang is a wonderful place...”
Nan Sheng: ???
Well, would you look at that!
She's actually transmigrated to the Hongwu era!
She decides to cling to the steadiest thigh in the Ming Dynasty, the Crown Prince's! Save him! Save Chang Shi! Save Zhu Xiongying! Save Empress Ma! This is a sure-fire win!
Nan Sheng rubs her hands together: Zhu Biao, here I come!
*
After Zhu Biao dies, his soul lingers.
Only then does he learn:
His first wife's early death and his eldest son's untimely demise were both orchestrated by someone close to him.
His beloved younger brother, the Prince of Yan, was forced to seize the empire that should have been his.
Unable to accept this, he opens his eyes again and finds himself back in the seventh year of Hongwu.
His first wife has just given birth to their eldest son, and none of it has happened yet.
This time, he will protect his wife and seize the empire.
But he discovers that his wife seems different from before.
Bonus scene:
One evening at dinner, Zhu Biao sits with his wife and son.
Lan Sheng: “Husband, since you hold an important position, I wonder how close you are to the Crown Prince?”
Zhu Biao thinks his identity is about to be exposed. His hand pauses, and he looks at Lan Sheng, speaking gently. “What makes you ask, my dear?”
Lan Sheng shakes her head sagely. “I made a prediction, and it seems the Crown Princess may not live much longer. I think I might be able to save her life.”
Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying: ???
Wife (Mom), how could you curse yourself like that!
