Summary:
Her Highness, the Princess Royal Hua Zhao of the Hua Dynasty, was savage, willful, and domineering, receiving the disgust of the people.

But it was this savage and willful princess who bewitched the enemy troops with her red-clothed dance, when the Huns went south to destroy the country and massacre everyone in the city, finally snatching the opportunity for tens of thousands of people in the capital to flee.

Finally, Princess Hua Zhao committed suicide before the iron heel of the Hun general.

……

When she opened her eyes again, it was already 1,000 years later.

Hua Zhao was still wearing her red dancing clothes, mindlessly wandering around the 5th Ring Road.

Hua Zhao learnt from those around her and hailed a taxi.

Driver: Miss, where are you going?
Hua Zhao: Why haven’t you taken bengong to see Father Emperor yet?
Driver: Tch~ ok~!!
20 minutes later, the driver threw Hua Zhao at the doors of the History Museum.
Hua Zhao: ???

***

The historical drama “Princess Hua Zhao” was successfully completed, the audience ratings of the finale breaking 2 stars on two broadcast networks and 3 stars on one! It deserved to be called a phenomenal drama!

The actress who played the female lead, Princess Hua Zhao, was the circle’s most famous little flower, Cheng Xingfei.

She was humble, low-key, and peaceful; the model of a conscientious worker.

But then a pot fell down from the sky — gossip reporters broke the news that Cheng Xingfei had gotten too far into her role and had a mental disorder. In the middle of the night, wearing a red costume, she ran to the doors of the History Museum to mourn!

Cheng Xingfei: ???

Review:
I found a hidden gem. This novel is good, the story is light. I wish there's extra chapters about the couples. There's 2 MC, but mainly focus on the princess. The relationship between characters are good. The princess helped film empress when she is needed. She met an actor with the same face as Huns prince who a thousand years ago caused her empire ceased. She danced for him before suicide to make time for her citizen to flee. Now she heard about his death, he didn't ravage her citizen and allow them to run. After she died, he made her burial despite no body and bury her picture which survive till now. His action making his khan angry and gouge his eye and kill him. He was trampled in the battlefield without corpse. They met again and become couple.
While the film empress didn't become a couple with her ML, but it is a sure in the future. ML is her fan, he was injured in military and become a museum guard. Later he found about the princess. The film empress recruit him as bodyguard. ML always guard her from behind. The film empress found out about his crush to her when she saw his phone. Later he said he is saving money so he can marry, because the girl have more money than him. He will only confess after he become successful person. The film empress confirmed him that he could do it.
Overall this is a sweet and light novel. No need to think deep about the plot holes.
