Everyone said the Minister of Personnel’s daughter had been bewitched. She had turned down the powerful Prince of Lingnan, a favorite among the nobles of Bianjing, and insisted on marrying a petty official.
As the woman in question, Lin Qingqian had this to say: I’ll walk my own path. Let them talk!
In her previous life, she had been blinded by so-called “love.” She fell from a pampered noblewoman to a prisoner despised by all, and ultimately died of illness with her name cleared too late.
The husband she had foolishly chosen, meanwhile, surrounded himself with countless beauties and took the throne as Crown Prince, though it was stained with the blood of more than a hundred members of the Lin family.
The last news she heard before dying was that someone had rebelled and had Bianjing surrounded on all sides. And the rebel was none other than Xiao Yiheng, a petty official who barely counted as a figure in the court!
Perhaps even Heaven couldn’t bear to see her suffer, because it gave her a chance to live her life over again.
The first thing she did after being reborn was find every possible way to cut ties with that despicable man.
The second was to use her “unyielding” courage to win over the real powerhouse, Xiao Yiheng.
From then on, she became front-page news in every gossip rag in the capital:
“Revealed: How the Minister’s Daughter Captured the Cold-Faced King of Hell!”
“Learn How to Become a Heartthrob Like Lin Qingqian!”
“The Beloved White Moonlight of a Handsome Young Lord Turns Out to Be the Minister’s Daughter He Can’t Stand!?”
Lin Qingqian rubbed her forehead as she looked at the pile of tabloids before her and took a deep breath. “Whoever wants to be his white moonlight can have the job. I’m not doing it!”
On the third day after she made that declaration, Xiao Yiheng clung to her like an injured puppy and refused to let go. She shamefully began to waver.
Well, it wasn’t entirely out of the question...
Sometimes, the face-slapping really does come that fast.
Great! I love short revenge stories!
