Plucking Flowers to Question the Throne

Prince Qin Mu, who had been sent by imperial decree to Gwangju to suppress bandits, unexpectedly found Xie Wu—the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Ying—who had been missing for many years. She was also his former betrothed, chosen through an engagement made before birth. Xie Wu had been missing for eleven years, and Qin Mu had long since married the Duke of Ying's second daughter, Xie Wan. However, the engagement between Xie Wu and Qin Mu had been bestowed by the late Emperor. The entire capital was eagerly waiting for the joke of the Duke of Ying's two daughters fighting over a husband. Little did they know that this phoenix's return to the imperial court was intended to stir up storms and shake the magnificent capital... Reading Guide and Warnings 1. Minimal domestic infighting; this is not a story about a legitimate daughter vs. a fake daughter slapping faces and abusing scum fathers and stepmothers. 2. The female lead is a transmigrator with a slightly low sense of morality; the general quality of characters in the text is not particularly high. 3. Minimal romance; there are many male characters, and the first one to appear is not necessarily the male lead. 4. Slightly slow-burn, brainless novel; the female lead may seem powerful, but her intelligence cannot exceed that of the author. 5. Hiatus was too long; this is a new start for rehabilitation to find my rhythm; the length of the ending is unknown.
