Qin Zhenzhen returned to her room and found her grandmother anxiously awaiting her.

After much contemplation, Qin Zhenzhen decided to confide in Su Bin about certain matters. She was aware of Su Bin’s extensive intelligence network through Mr. Chen and his strategic acumen, traits that had made him the primary antagonist in the story.
With her unexpected arrival, many plotlines had taken unexpected turns. Su Bin had been informed of his background and secured start-up capital well in advance, and his talents had been revealed ahead of schedule. In theory, this should have been advantageous for him.
However, because of her presence, Su Bin might now have to contend with even more formidable adversaries and challenge the entire Jiang family.
According to the original storyline, the current emperor was expected to succumb to illness that winter. Subsequently, the crown prince would be assassinated, leaving the other princes too young to shoulder the burden of leadership. This would pave the way for the Eighth Imperial Uncle, Chu Yunfei, to ascend the throne.
Chu Yunfei’s mother hailed from the Jiang family, and her exceptional culinary and medical skills, coupled with her beauty, had earned her a position as a consort. Chu Yunfei’s rise to power and eventual ascension owed much to the support of the influential Jiang family.
In the original storyline, the emperor’s demise due to illness and the assassination of the Crown Prince were considered to be the handiwork of Chu Yunfei and the influential Jiang family.
Su Bin had been chosen as the Primus, a decision made by none other than Chu Yunfei himself. The book portrayed Chu Yunfei as Su Bin’s benefactor. At the time, Chu Yunfei had recently ascended the throne and struggled to gain the favor of all the civil and military officials. However, fortune smiled upon him when he recognized Su Bin’s strategic brilliance and appointed him as the Primus.
Gradually, Su Bin was entrusted with increasingly significant responsibilities, and his talents began to shine. He offered invaluable counsel to Chu Yunfei, eliminated unruly ministers, and ensured the survival of those who deserved it. Su Bin meticulously prepared the groundwork for Chu Yunfei’s rule.

In contrast, the original ’s male protagonist, Chu Tiansheng, was the son of the reigning emperor. He had spent his youth in a temple due to his frailty and illness. Although he suspected that his father and brother’s deaths were not natural, he was too young to take any action and could only bide his time.
During this period, Chu Yunfei saw Su Bin as his greatest ally and confidant, entrusting him with considerable authority. In return, Su Bin believed that Chu Yunfei owed him a significant debt of gratitude and remained fiercely loyal to him, steadfastly protecting his interests.
Consequently, when the original ’s male lead reached adulthood and sought to reclaim the throne, Su Bin naturally sided with Chu Yunfei. Ultimately, they were thwarted by the male and female protagonists.
Qin Zhenzhen was determined to alter the course of the plot and change Su Bin’s destiny of being vanquished by the male and female protagonists as depicted in the original narrative. After careful consideration, she resolved not to allow Chu Yunfei to assume power.
There was only one way to prevent Chu Yunfei from ascending the throne, and that was to expose his wolfish ambition to snatch the throne in advance. Qin Zhenzhen decided to tell Su Bin about Chu Yunfei’s wild ambitions in advance.
She needed Su Bin’s help.
Because she had already realized that the Empress Dowager wanted to kill her and grandma.
At first, she had underestimated the hatred between the Empress Dowager and grandma..
