Only on her deathbed did Li Shuangyue learn that she was merely the villainess in a pampered heroine novel.
Her stepsister, who could read minds, was the real heroine.
She and her mother, older brother, and younger siblings were all stepping stones for the heroine.
Their ending was miserable: they died without their bodies being recovered!
As for their father, he doted on the daughter born to his cherished first love.
He couldn't care less whether they lived or died.
Then she was reborn!
Back to the day she met her stepsister again.
She clutched the Li family's ancestral jade pendant and smiled.
You use my things and your mind-reading ability to scheme against me?
This time, I'll play along and give you a real challenge!
You really think the Lu family is some prize worth fighting over? To hell with that. If you make me unhappy, I'll tear the whole thing down!
And that scumbag of a father? Get lost!
She took her lovesick but obedient mother and divorced him.
The scumbag's family mocked them.
What? Without the Lu family, the lot of us won't survive?
Then watch me find myself a handsome new dad and give the whole family a better life.
She rolled up her sleeves and got to work, and before she knew it, she had become the emperor's formidable aunt, strutting around Xiqi like she owned the place.
Her new dad rose to the high position of chancellor!
Her older brother became an imperial merchant, her younger brother the top scholar in the new imperial examinations, and her younger sister a peerless physician.
Her childhood sweetheart, a mischievous troublemaker, did whatever she pointed at, doting on Li Shuangyue like she was the most precious thing in the world.
And as for the scumbag father, well, your precious daughter can read minds, so how did the whole family end up exiled?
What? You regret the divorce? Go ahead and keep regretting it. What does that have to do with me?
Oh, one more thing. The children you've doted on for over a decade are actually the offspring of your first love and her "older brother"~
He's coughing up blood!
Little sister, come quickly and treat the old geezer, or we'll have no more show to watch.
