The Ninth Master’s Green Tea Act Is No Match for Mine

Award-winning PR professional Ji Ling dies suddenly from overwork and is reborn as Ji Huizhong, a Qing-dynasty bondservant girl who has endured endless hardship. Determined to escape the mire, she sets her sights on the Ninth Prince Yinzhen, the Eight Princes’ faction’s treasury, hiding her talents and winning him over one step at a time. After the Princess Consort makes things difficult for her, she is transferred to the sewing room. She endures it for twenty-three days, waiting patiently, until Yinzhen comes looking for her in the pouring rain and demands in a low voice, “Why didn’t you come to find me?” With reddened eyes, she sheds tears and admits that although she had schemed at every turn, she had come to truly love him. From calculated flattery to mutual surrender, she sheds her disguise and reveals her real name, Ji Ling. Amid the undercurrents of the struggle among the nine princes for the throne, she and the proud Ninth Prince save each other.
