After surviving harem intrigues, the chancellor's rebellion, and jianghu strife, the two, who love yet resent each other, finally break through all obstacles and come together.
Editor's review
“In Your Name” connects modern-day original-family trauma with an otherworldly revenge story: young Bai Yin receives the lingering wish of Su Wan of the Qiannan Dynasty, and must avenge this general’s daughter who died full of resentment and live a new life in her place. The novel’s strength lies in the dual-identity tension created by “rebirth as a stand-in”: Bai Yin must confront Su Wan’s injustice and the palace intrigues, while also navigating her own complicated relationship with Emperor Dongfang Hao, which moves from entanglement to love. The story spans multiple arenas—palace scheming, the chancellor’s rebellion, and jianghu conflicts—and the emotional line is pulled back and forth between love and resentment, making it well suited to readers who enjoy strong plotting and multiple storylines. The modern section receives little space but is crucial: Bai Yin’s desire to escape real-life troubles gives her otherworldly adventure a sense of self-healing. When reading, pay attention to the distinction between Su Wan’s lingering wish and Bai Yin’s own choices—that is the key to understanding the character’s growth.
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Romance readers who enjoy transmigration stand-in and revenge-comeback setups.
- Readers who prefer strong plots driven by interwoven palace intrigue and jianghu conflicts.
- Young readers interested in original-family trauma and self-reconstruction themes.
- Readers who can accept a romance in which the male and female leads move from resentment and entanglement to love.
Not a good fit for
- Readers who prefer light, sweet, low-conflict slice-of-life stories.
- Readers who are sensitive to palace intrigue and revenge lines and wish to avoid them.
- Readers expecting rigorous historical background research.
Reading tips
- Clarify the identity relationship between Bai Yin and Su Wan first; the revenge line will then make each choice’s motivation clearer.
- Pay attention to the depiction of Bai Yin’s modern original family; it forms a contrast with “living a new life” in the other world.
- Sort the three threads separately—palace intrigue, the chancellor’s rebellion, and jianghu conflicts—to avoid getting lost in the parallel storylines.
- When reading the relationship between the male and female leads, focus on the turning points of “loving yet resenting” to better understand how they end up together.

FAQ
Why does Bai Yin avenge Su Wan?
According to the materials, Su Wan died full of resentment after being framed by villains, and her lingering wish found Bai Yin, who wanted to escape real-life troubles. Bai Yin decides to carry this wish, avenge Su Wan, and use it to live out a completely new life; revenge is therefore both a promise and an opportunity for her self-reconstruction.
What is the relationship between the male and female leads?
Bai Yin’s identity dooms her to a tangled, ill-fated bond with Dongfang Hao, emperor of the Qiannan Dynasty. After experiencing palace intrigue, the chancellor’s rebellion, and jianghu conflicts, the two love and resent each other, and ultimately overcome many obstacles to be together; the emotional line has a clear push-pull quality.
What main conflicts does the story contain?
According to the materials, the main conflicts are the revenge for the old case of Su Wan’s framing, palace intrigue, the chancellor’s rebellion, and jianghu conflicts. These conflicts advance layer by layer, both helping Bai Yin gain a foothold in the Qiannan Dynasty and constantly testing her relationship with Dongfang Hao.
How much of the book is devoted to the modern section?
The modern section mainly establishes the starting point: Bai Yin has suffered from her original family and wants to escape real-life troubles, which is the source of her motivation to accept Su Wan’s lingering wish. The main story takes place in the Qiannan Dynasty, which does not exist in historical records; the modern line is more like the trigger for the character’s actions.

About the author

Author
Juanzi is a Chinese web author known for time-travel and alternate-history romance. Public information about her is limited: her nationality, dates of birth and death, and English name are not recorded in available sources. Five of her works are held in the collection, including Juanzi's Selected Classical Romances (four volumes), Walking with You, Between Water and Sky, Gathering All Splendor, and In Your Name. These titles suggest that her writing centers on romance set in ancient times, often incorporating time-travel and alternate-world elements. The number of works and the boxed-set format indicate a sustained output of classical-style romance presented in series. Her titles frequently use classical imagery such as "jun" (gentleman) and "fenghua" (elegance), hinting at an emphasis on emotional development and nuanced character relationships. In the absence of biographical detail, her works may be seen as steady contributions to the time-travel alternate-history romance genre, while a fuller understanding of the author awaits further public information.
