Jazlynn Li falls out of the 22nd century and into the world of Great Liang, landing in the body of Lady Li, birth mother of the First Prince. She knows this story. In the version written down, Lady Li and her son Corbin Xiao are mocked by the Empress, the Emperor, and every official at court for their weight, and both of them die badly inside the harem.
Jazlynn has no army and no allies, only the plot in her head and a son who is still alive. She starts changing the small things first, the meals, the rooms, the people who think she is harmless, and each adjustment ripples through a court that has already decided her ending. The Empress notices. So does the Emperor. Jazlynn has to outthink a script that kills her before it reaches the final page.
