Melodies That Startle a Hundred Birds: The Legitimate Daughter's Counterattack

share time: 2026-01-27 12:33:34

Lin Wan, the legitimate daughter of the prime minister, is framed by her concubine sister into 'losing her dignity' at a royal banquet, instantly becoming the capital’s laughingstock—even her father plans to send her to a nunnery. In despair, she plays her family’s heirloom guqin melody *Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix*, whose desolate tune catches the ear of the incognito Prince Jing, Xiao Jing. Recognizing her innocence, Xiao Jing takes her into his mansion as a 'royal musician' to protect her. Together, they expose her sister’s schemes—forged evidence, an affair with a nobleman—while growing closer through music: Xiao Jing responds to her guqin with his flute, and Lin Wan hides a note saying 'I wish for one heart' in her sheet music. When the truth comes out, Xiao Jing inserts a family jade hairpin into her hair before the entire court: 'My princess deserves to take back what’s hers.' A sweet counterattack, woven with melodies and revenge, begins!
