✨ Story Summary

Zhou Qing’er is reborn at the point when she was forced to serve as her sister Zhou Fen’er’s substitute and marry the Prince of Jin. This time, she refuses to become the prince’s wife and instead allies herself with the seemingly disadvantaged Crown Prince. As she uses her intelligence to clear family obstacles and gradually approaches the center of power, she discovers that the Crown Prince’s particular attention toward her is no coincidence—and the hidden truths of her past life begin to surface.
✨ Character Introductions

Zhou Qing’er: Eldest daughter of the Minister of Personnel. In her previous life, she was forced to marry the Prince of Jin as her sister’s stand-in and spent twenty years amid blood and political strife, eventually becoming a regent Empress Dowager. Reborn, she is shrewd and ruthless, refusing to repeat past mistakes. She chooses the Crown Prince as her ally, clears obstacles like her stepmother and sister, and seeks stability and honor in the political arena, while secretly yearning for warmth and affection.

Crown Prince (Gu, unnamed in text): Eldest son of the Empress. Deep, reserved, and meticulous, he appears overlooked by the emperor and empress but has long recognized Zhou Qing’er’s talent and resilience. He sees through Zhou Fen’er’s disguise and admires Zhou Qing’er’s ruthlessness and intelligence. With her support, he consolidates his position as heir, holding both admiration and genuine affection for her, making him a key pillar in Zhou Qing’er’s second life.

Zhou Fen’er: Zhou Qing’er’s half-sister, a famed noble beauty in the capital. Clever but selfish and cruel, she habitually uses her sister as a stepping stone. In pursuit of power and the Prince of Jin’s favor, she repeatedly schemes against Zhou Qing’er, but her plans fail and she meets her end in their confrontation.

Prince of Jin (Gu, unnamed in text): The Crown Prince’s younger brother, favored by the emperor and empress, charismatic and romantic. Initially infatuated with Zhou Fen’er, he treats Zhou Qing’er as a substitute. In the previous life, he ascended the throne and deposed Zhou Qing’er; in this life, due to her schemes and his own missteps, he gradually loses his claim to the throne and is sent to govern his fief.

Zhou’s Father (Minister of Personnel): Opportunistic and patriarchal, heavily favoring Zhou Fen’er while treating Zhou Qing’er as a tool for family interests. When Zhou Qing’er rises in power, he tries to cling to her, but she severs his reliance, and he dies in disgrace.

Haitang: Zhou Qing’er’s loyal maid, skilled in martial arts. Having served Zhou Qing’er since childhood, she assists with all plans, from countering Zhou Fen’er’s schemes to handling crises, serving as Zhou Qing’er’s most trusted aide and right hand.

Empress: Mother of the Crown Prince and Prince of Jin. Initially favors the Prince of Jin and treats Zhou Qing’er cautiously. Later, impressed by Zhou Qing’er’s capability and loyalty, she realizes the dangers of the princes’ rivalry and aids the Crown Prince, becoming an important ally for Zhou Qing’er within the palace.
