Chen Jiao transmigrates into a political succession novel as a secondary but influential character. She is born into a prestigious family. Her mother is the daughter of the Grand Princess, her father a marquis, and her grandparents are famous figures in Chang’an. The Chen family has no male heirs for three generations, and their titles and wealth are under threat. To protect her family, Chen Jiao disguises herself as a man and enters the dangerous world of court politics.
Navigating alliances, rivalries, and power struggles among ambitious princes is risky. A single mistake could land her entire family in prison. Knowing the future, Chen Jiao focuses on the crown prince. He is currently in danger but destined to rise to the throne. Elegant, respected, and admired by all, he is the perfect ally for her career.
Chen Jiao devotes herself completely. She serves him tea, prepares medicinal broths when he is sick, and sneaks food to him when he is confined. Her loyalty and care eventually win him over and the crown prince finally bends.
Her family reacts with comic chaos. Her grandmother screams about ignoring the warning not to give him a talisman pouch. Her grandfather grabs his head and yells even louder about the pouch being a peace charm.
