The Empress Dowager of the current dynasty schemed and struggled until she finally claimed the throne as empress. But just as she was about to ascend, a woman who had transmigrated into a book from the 21st century stabbed her in the back!
When she opened her eyes again, she had become the capital's number one wastrel, in the middle of abducting a handsome man.
The original owner was cruel and wicked, guilty of every misdeed under the sun. The whole capital cursed her, and even dogs considered her bad luck.
Living a second life, Xiao Mingyuan embraced her villainous reputation and set out to focus on her ambitions, determined to carry her rebellion through to the end. But after being scorned and bullied in her previous life, she somehow became everyone's darling?
Her legitimate elder brother doted on her, her younger half-sister admired her, and even her former enemies carefully protected her. Before she knew it, she had become empress!
And the handsome man she had abducted had quietly attached himself to her. "Jiaojiao, didn't you want me so badly? I'm willing to serve you, even as your male concubine!"

Jiang Nanying transmigrated into a book and became a noble princess. She thought that, with her modern knowledge and reputation as Jiang the Sharp-Tongued, she could kill the original heroine, marry a handsome man, become empress, and reach the pinnacle of life!
But she never expected the original story's minor noblewoman to become a plot-altering bug. No matter how often she plotted against her, she lost every time. This cannon-fodder noblewoman was all wrong!
When I read this book, I thought it was another fun story about rebirth and cheating. After reading it, I realized that it was a book about women's awakening against the concubine's religion. "How many things have happened since ancient times, and how often has it been a daughter's turn?" The heroine, a woman reviled by history books, walks a new path in another body that is reviled by the world. But when A Zhao, whom Gu Hanzhang had loved for ten years, stood in front of him, he thought he was betraying him. He didn't know when he would find out that the heroine was actually A Zhao. On the contrary, Jiang Nanying's line is a little weak, it would be better if he was smarter.
