A scheming female power minister (gong) vs an uncontrollable prisoner (shou) (revisions are only typos) (Readers of pirated copies, please do not comment. This book is being rewritten, and the rewritten content is expected to be replaced in the second half of the year. Not satisfied with the previous pacing. Most of the plot remains unchanged.) Everyone said that Gu Siyi, the daughter of the Gu family, was a goddess, peerless beauty, more noble than a princess. Unexpectedly, due to her family's treason, Gu Siyi fell from grace overnight and became a pariah. She was thrown into the imperial prison, subjected to court beatings, and barely survived in the harem to gain a chance to live. She once thought that the Second Princess Ji Banban, who had submitted the evidence of her family's crime, was her lifelong enemy, but it turned out she was both a ghost and a redemption. Ji Banban, backed by the Ji family and wielding immense power, deliberately approached her, a prisoner, with ulterior motives. Gu Siyi said in annoyance, "Ji Banban, I don't have this hobby." Ji Banban's eyes smiled, "You don't, but I do." Later, to survive, Gu Siyi used incense to exploit Ji Banban's hobby, spending a spring night together. Unexpectedly, Ji Banban had already seen through everything. Ji Banban: "Didn't you say you didn't have this hobby?" Gu Siyi chuckled, "I guess I've gone mad." Outsiders said the remnants of the Gu family couldn't make waves. On the path to uncovering the truth behind her family's treason, Gu Siyi used Ji Banban to gain a foothold in the palace and climb to the altar, learning the truth of her family's betrayal. The first time someone asked, "What is your relationship with the Second Princess?" "Mutual benefit." The second time someone asked, "What is your relationship? Why does Her Highness favor you so much?" "Friends." The third time someone asked, "What exactly is your relationship?" "One thought unwavering, one life never forsaken." Later, in the court, Ji Banban intimidated the ministers, and the once-powerful minister bowed low, helping that prisoner ascend to the hall to participate in governance, shocking everyone. Side story: Gu Siyi: "When Your Highness and I first met, I was a street rat, a gutter stench. Thank you for not abandoning me and pulling me out." Ji Banban responded, her gaze drifting out the window. The red plum blossoms against the white snow on the wall reminded her of the winter when she was five years old, nearly frozen to death. She lay in the heavy snow, and fortunately, a girl from the Gu family passed by and saved her life with a bowl of hot soup. Guide: 1. Both leads are chaste, power struggles. The gong is not a good person. 2. There is a female general and a killer Hu Ji as a secondary couple (ending BE). Friend's book, same power struggle theme, can be collected: "Inner Minister" by Jing Xian [Synopsis] There is an inner minister in the princess's mansion named He Ling. He Ling entered the mansion as a woman, lurked for over a decade, and once she seized military and political power, the court and public spread rumors that He Ling had secretly kidnapped Princess Tangyun and imprisoned her in the princess's mansion for years. In places unknown to outsiders, the truth was... That inner minister, stained with blood outside, would always bathe herself clean before daring to meet that sickly jade in her heart, the delicate beauty in her tent. Fierce and ruthless inner minister (gong) × sickly and cunning princess (shou)
