In her previous life, she was exceptionally gifted and breathtakingly beautiful. The day she was born, she was chosen to be the crown prince's consort, and she thought a life of wealth and glory was hers by right. But this only made her stepmother and half-sister jealous, and together they disfigured her! The unscrupulous crown prince couldn't break off the engagement, so he joined forces with her sisters to frame her for eloping with another man, then drowned her in a pond! Reborn, she makes a magnificent return, outwits her stepmother, punishes her half-sister, and brings down the crown prince and the other princes. At last, she helps the man she truly loves ascend the throne and earns herself the title of “Ghost-Faced Demon Consort”! Who could guess that beneath the ghostly mask lies a peerlessly beautiful face? She thought she had finally achieved her life's ambition, but when the truth comes to light, she learns that everything was yet another scheme with no connection to love...
I've read it countless times; I just love novels where both the male and female leads are incredibly powerful.
It's a very good story, very exciting.
