The Twin Realms’ Legitimate Daughter

Synopsis of The Legitimate Daughter of Two Worlds

Yann Linlang, a struggling history major, wakes up to discover that she exists in two worlds at once:

She is the legitimate daughter of a general's family in the Great Yan dynasty, a gifted young woman skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and the crown prince's prospective wife;

She is also a 21st-century college student on the verge of expulsion for failing too many classes.

When the two timelines begin synchronizing against her will, the hand playing the zither in the imperial garden suddenly starts performing Eighteen Songs of a Nomad Flute in the classroom;

and the mouth answering her professor's question blurts out modern internet slang at a palace banquet.

In the ancient world, the empress's icy gaze has already fixed on her “breach of etiquette”;

in the modern world, the university suspects she is mentally unstable and is about to have her committed.

On the brink of disaster, she discovers how to turn the synchronization to her advantage:

She uses modern game theory to defeat foreign envoys in a match before the emperor;

she uses ancient fine-line painting techniques to impress an art professor and save her credits.

As she deftly moves between the two timelines,

she gradually uncovers the secrets of a dynasty that span a thousand years,

and a shocking conspiracy targeting both worlds...

Will she choose the phoenix crown of an empress,

or a 21st-century diploma?

She lifts her vermilion brush and writes at the boundary between the two timelines:

“This time, I’m rewriting the rules of both worlds.”
