When I heard that one of Liu Yuan Chang Ning's (流鸢长凝) novels was finally going to be adapted into an audio drama (for a pretty established author, it's pretty surprising that this is the first adaptation of any of her novels), I was vaguely interested, since she's one of the baihe authors I quite rate. Then they released the teaser, and I got much more into it than I was expecting. Maybe it's Yi Zhi Zi playing a cross-dressing character that did it for me?
The book which the audio drama is adapted from is Traitors' End (诛佞), a historical novel in which a (as far as I can tell) present-day woman, Gu Qingtang, travels back in time to the ancient past, ends up in the household of a scheming official, and plots to marry the emperor's younger sister Yin Ning, for reasons that are hinted at in the teaser. Unsurprisingly, Yin Ning is not at all keen on the idea, and attempts to stab Gu Qingtang on their wedding night. Things progress from there.
I've subtitled the full ten-minute teaser, which you can see here:
The audio drama is available on the Fanjiao app (link to the (limited) webpage here), and the novel can be read on JJWXC here. It's almost certainly going to be my next read, so I'm excited to dive in.
