Marisa Lan founded the Dayuan dynasty and ruled it as empress, then died in battle. Sixty years later her soul woke in the body of a young woman with the same name, the daughter of a convicted official. She was in the Eastern Palace, where she punished a maid who had been abusing the household, and met Xiao Lang, the imperial grandson, whose face is her old husband's face. She wanted to see the emperor Xiao Xian, who was ill and unconscious, and who is her son. She used a private phrase only she and he had known, and on that Xiao Lang trusted her and let her into the palace, and she brought Xiao Xian round. After that she took the Prince of Jing in hand and corrected his conduct, cleared up a long misunderstanding with the Governor of the Southern Frontier, and looked into the Fanlou tower, where officials and merchants were working together against the common people. Qi An, who had followed her through this, told her what he felt and went back to the capital with her.
