Blurb:

A post was pinned to the top of a forum: "What should I do if I find out I have the same name as the villainess in a novel?"

1L: I suggest the OP read the whole thing carefully and memorize it.

Zhao Xunyi: "..."

As expected, Zhao Xunyi transmigrated into the villainess with the same name from some male-oriented novel.

The good news: She was the most noble princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the male lead wouldn't succeed in his rebellion for several more years.

The bad news: The male lead had been reborn.

After looking through the whole story, Zhao Xunyi realized that one of the main reasons the male lead succeeded in his rebellion was the support he received from people of all kinds. To save her own skin, she decided to poach the people backing him.

A chivalrous wanderer languishing in prison: She'd risk her life to save him from the execution ground!

An overlooked general's illegitimate son: She'd give everything to help him seize military power!

A top scholar, well-read but frustrated by his lack of recognition: She'd carefully plan a meteoric rise for him!

And the palace maids and eunuchs at death's door, the ruthless hostage prince from an enemy state, the lonely wives confined to their households...

She'd recruit them! Recruit them all! Recruit, recruit, recruit!

With the help of her [Elite Talent Scanner], veteran HR professional Zhao Xunyi mastered the art of putting people to work, winning over the entire court. But why did everyone seem to look at her so strangely?

Gu Yunzhi had been reborn.

In his previous life, corrupt officials held sway. Though he'd already been made a marquis and appointed chancellor, he had no choice but to raise an army and fight for power to save the common people.

In the end, after making careful plans, he replaced the Zhao dynasty with his own Gu dynasty, won the support of the court ministers, and overthrew the tyrant.

Now that fate had given him another chance, he would seize the opportunity, plan ahead, and prepare in advance!

But when he sought out the powerful ministers he remembered, he discovered that they seemed to be following a completely different script.

And why were so many of his former loyal subjects now surrounding the licentious, villainous princess from his memories?!

[Bonus scene]

The newly appointed General Who Guards the North kicked over the imperial throne. "If the princess won't become emperor, then I don't want this military power either!"

The top scholar, now one of the most powerful men in the court, had a sinister look in his eyes. "I carefully worked my way up to this position for one reason alone: to serve Her Highness the Princess!"

The hostage prince from the enemy state, who had always been bent on swallowing up Great Zhou, declared, "If the eldest princess becomes emperor, I'll gladly come here as her husband!"

The ministers cried out, "The nation cannot go a single day without a ruler! We beseech the eldest princess to ascend the throne!"

Princess Zhao Xunyi: "..."

As the number of candidates to be the princess's consort in the capital kept growing, the usually proud and aloof Marquis Gu could no longer sit still. At last, he found a chance to corner Zhao Xunyi.

His eyes misted with tears as he looked aggrieved. "Choose me. I want to be your consort!"

Zhao Xunyi: "???"

#Help, somehow she's the one who ended up rebelling!#
