All Within My Palm

The first family of Zhao Nation stood above the other houses in the country, and what became of it came down to whoever was leading it. That was the eldest uncle, and after him his son, and between the two of them the family was run into the ground. The daughter of the second branch, born to a concubine, watched it happen from inside the house. She then woke up in her own past, in the years when her grandmother and her father were both still alive, with what she had learned in the first life still in her head. She used it to hold the family's name where it was and to work her way toward the running of the household, which she took over. Somewhere in the same years she and the Third Prince fell in love.
