Dancing Across the Empire

She was Longhua's foremost female Grand Tutor, at the height of her power, when she accidentally drank poisoned wine. She thought she had died just like that, but instead she was reborn five years later as the daughter of a young officer who had once served under her.

Her past life seemed like a dream. She thought she would never cross paths with certain people or events again, but an imperial edict summoning women for selection brought her back into the limelight.

She understood that her fate held more in store for her, and there was much she still needed to do.

Risk everything to save her birth mother;

Teach her younger brother and restore the Xiao family.

Become a consort and fight the Empress Dowager;

Refuse the emperor's bed and hunt down her enemy!

But all of it depended on one thing: keeping her secret identity hidden!

Unfortunately, the new secret identity she's taken on is about to be exposed, after she's stabbed it full of holes from every direction!

Don't panic. If the disguise has a leak, just sew it up!

As long as the secret identity is well patched, it won't fall apart.

Just as she was busy mending it, the emperor's apprentice, who had already coaxed the truth out of her while she was sick and muddleheaded, blinked his innocent eyes. “What is Master doing?” Well, never mind. As long as she doesn't run away, he can spoil her however he likes.
