Synopsis

[Serious drama + Mutual healing + Household intrigue + Political machinations + Revenge + One love for a lifetime] Jiang Zhi spent five years struggling in that residence, five years trapped in a nightmare, living like a dog her father traded away for profit. When her father pushed her into the fire pit, he said, “A Zhi, you’re the best piece my father has to play.” When she woke, Jiang Zhi saw that the residence she had dreamed of escaping back to in her previous life had not yet changed from the Jiang family’s home to the She family’s. Her father was still carefully tending to her maternal grandfather’s sickbed. She sighed. They say no child remains filial at a sickbed for long, and her father was only a live-in son-in-law to begin with. A son of a fallen clan had used his good looks to make her mother so devoted that she brought him into her family as her husband. A man whose honeyed words concealed a blade, who schemed at every turn to turn the Jiang family into the She family, was lowborn and of low status. With the entire Jiang family’s noble title as his stake, how could he not give it his all? He gave it too much of his all. Before long, the people of the capital had begun calling the Jiang family the She family. In that contest for power, she too became a stepping stone her father offered up for his own gain. Jiang Zhi slowly closed her eyes. The Jiang family’s decline had been nothing more than her father’s scheme to revive the She family. The Jiang family was no longer what it once was. She was besieged on all sides; she was ruthless and vicious. She would scheme with painstaking care and plan every step, all to make the Jiang family’s gates crowded with visitors! P.S. This is a fictional setting, loosely based on the mid-Northern Song period. Please don’t nitpick historical details. Note: A live-in son-in-law is a man who marries into and settles in his wife’s family. He regards her parents as his own, and their children take their mother’s surname and inherit her family line. (That is why the heroine takes her mother’s surname.)

Good looking and compact plot! I still want to see it

I don't know how to write a review. This book is beautiful. It's a rebirth drama. It starts with a flashback. It's very novel. The heroine's IQ is online. I've just read about 40 chapters. I'm looking forward to the mixed doubles between the male and female protagonists.

It's very interesting. The heroine is brave and resourceful and doesn't rely on any man. She is a real heroine. The plot of the whole novel has ups and downs, the logic is relatively strict, and the plot is rich. RecommendationRecommendation[Salute][Salute][Salute][Salute]

The rebirth story is very logical and the plot is smooth. I look forward to more excellent content in the future.

The writing is very good, a real Machiavellian story, and the heroine has a lot of brains. I have read more than 30 chapters, but there is no brainless love plot, and the male and female protagonists have not even interacted much. I like this kind of natural writing. I really don't like the kind of text where the male protagonist is "face-palmed" by the female protagonist after just a few chapters.

I didn't know who the male protagonist was until I saw it near the end. The emotional drama felt a bit far-fetched. There was actually no need to match the female protagonist with a man, but overall it was still very interesting. The female protagonist's IQ was always online. She is one of the few female protagonists I have seen who has a decisive and independent personality. The storyline was not too slow and had suspense. It was great🫶

Not bad, not bad. The plot is progressive. The heroine's character and style of doing things are very clear-headed and she can cut through the mess quickly. It's worth watching.

The writing style of this book is mature and is excellent among Tomato's novels. The male protagonist must be Yan Fu, also known as Wei Shi. Because there are few people in the royal family who engage in evil deeds and follow the right path.

I've finished watching it. It's very interesting. I particularly like the heroine's character. She is always so brave, determined and independent, and never thinks of relying on men. Even if he knows that what he wants to do is risky, he will do it without hesitation. Especially when it comes to bad guys, there is no ink at all, and the bad guys will not be allowed to jump over and over again. Once they seize the opportunity, they will be killed directly. It is so cool! ! ! I really didn't guess who the male protagonist was at first. I always had a preconceived idea and saw how His Highness was described before. I thought it was the male protagonist's setting description. Haha, it turned out not to be the case. It may be a bit rushed to catch up with the plot, but it is still a bit outrageous but can be tolerated. How the Zhan family's father became the fourth prince is not introduced. Anyway, these things about the Zhan family are relatively general and not considered the main plot, which is acceptable. Four stars, a perfect ending🔚
