Reborn: The Peerless Daughter

[Reborn, court intrigue + mutual redemption] A noblewoman of the Celestial Dynasty, aloof and proud, blessed with both beauty and talent. Amid the treacherous struggle for imperial power, Mu Sinan defied her clan elders and stepped into a deadly trap, helping him seize power and ascend the throne. In the end, all she got in return was a mocking smile from the alluring woman at his side, who looked down at her: “Sister, you’d better forget Brother Anan. Because Brother Anan… loves only me.” Reborn into another life, Mu Sinan is determined to master the schemes of the world and bring the land of the Nine Provinces under her control! She’ll open medical clinics far and wide and make her fortune! She’ll develop medicine for epidemics and earn a reputation that resounds throughout the Nine Provinces! She wants boundless wealth and glory! She wants the people’s reverence, too! This time, she’ll surely leave her name in the annals of history. But why has this shameless man become so clingy? The first time they watched the lotus beneath the moon, he said, “You’re just a little girl. You’re hardly worth mentioning.” The second time, at a hunting ground where she narrowly escaped death, he said, “Little thing, compared to ordinary sheltered young ladies, you’re quite special.” The third time, as he gripped her chin in his iron grasp, he said, “Sweetheart, is your heart made of stone?” …The young man wore a scarlet robe beneath a cloak, his eyes long and narrow, a smile playing on his lips. Leaning down from his saddle to whisper in her ear, he said, “My darling, don’t cry. It breaks my heart.” Warnings, warnings: Male lead: A peerless talent and a prodigy of the battlefield, held hostage as a political pawn. Female lead: An aloof beauty who knows when to bend and is serious about building her career. The author’s favorite is the young man in this story. No golden finger. A slow-burning but tightly paced happy ending.
