When Qi Yuan opens her eyes, she finds she has become the contrast-villainess in a female-led novel about an empress.
They have the same noble background and the same high-born status.
The heroine is kindhearted and far-sighted, rising step by step from an answering consort’s position to the imperial throne.
Qi Yuan is malicious and shallow-minded, falling step by step from the rank of concubine to a mass grave outside the city.
After reading the novel more than ten times, Qi Yuan falls briefly silent, then decisively chooses the best possible path: she’ll join the heroine in rebelling.
Enter the palace? No way!
Why bother with all that? She’ll rebel right away.
To avoid being married off and stay home to plan her rebellion, Qi Yuan makes a huge fuss about wanting to marry the ferocious, domineering borderland God of War, Prince An, the Third Prince. Confident that Prince An, who has never had any contact with her, will reject her outright, she plans to use her heartbreak as an excuse to stay home and plot the rebellion.
But to her surprise, Prince An agrees! He even rushes back to the capital from the borderlands to marry her!
Lu Mingchuan was loyal to the emperor and devoted to the people in his previous life. He protected his country on the battlefield without complaint, only to ultimately lose to an imperial consort who usurped the throne. Reborn, he’s eager to make his mark. He returns to the capital to stop the wicked consort from seizing power, only to get stuck at the very first hurdle: feudal princes cannot return to the capital without an imperial summons.
Just then, he receives news that the wicked consort’s younger sister wants to marry him. So he quickly submits a petition, returns to the capital, and marries her.
