[Feel-Good Revenge + Rebirth + Political Intrigue + One-on-One Romance, Both Leads Untouched]
In her previous life, Wu Ying was hopelessly in love with the eldest prince. Though she was the legitimate daughter of a distinguished general’s family, she married him as a concubine.
She was obsessed with becoming his principal wife and would never give up on that goal.
After a lifetime of palace intrigue, she finally defeated the other consorts and emerged the last one standing, becoming empress.
She devoted herself to protecting the Qi family’s empire, only to discover that her entire life had been a lie. Then her ungrateful son drove her to her death.
Wu Ying refused to be buried with the faithless man who had betrayed her, and spent her whole life searching for a way to turn back time.
Now reborn, she must protect her family, avenge her father and brothers, punish the scumbag, challenge imperial power, and claim her share of the throne.
But something strange is happening this time around. All the women in the harem who once fought her to the death have completely changed their ways.
Her stepsister, who used to fight her for everything, has suddenly stopped competing and is instead providing her with gunpowder, ice-making techniques, papermaking, advanced medical knowledge...
Mei Fei, once hopelessly lovesick, now cares only about making money and becoming the richest woman in the country...
Even Empress Wang, her greatest nemesis, no longer wants to enter the palace. She spends every day thinking about teaching and nurturing generations of students...
Now she can’t help thinking that this group of women is rather adorable when they’re not fighting for power in the harem.
