The Black-Hearted Princess’s Comeback

Serious version

The heroine, Xiao Huaiyue, was born amid strange omens and branded a jinx. She must protect herself in the inner palace and contend with all manner of monsters and demons. She also has to keep rescuing her good-for-nothing fourth brother, help her eldest brother ascend the throne, and help one of her closest friends fulfill her dream of becoming a general who conquers the battlefield. Then there's another friend who needs help outsmarting her stepmother. She's got so much on her plate!

Father has arranged a fiancé for her? She picks up an assassin along the way and goes into business with him? A mighty general has fallen for her? This romance is so sweet!

But when love and self-interest become entangled, what is true devotion, and what is love? When it comes to family and the people you love, self-interest and love, home and country, how do you choose?

Funny version

I'm Xiao Huaiyue, the jinx princess? My eldest brother is about to become crown prince? My fourth brother has gone off to drink and chase women again? I'm building a business with an assassin? One of my friends wants to become a general? Another has turned into a poet? What kind of life is this?

My life is a mess, and my love life is a headache. The top scholar himself is my future husband? And now a mighty general has appeared out of nowhere? My own romantic troubles are bad enough, but I'll protect my friends' love lives. The talented beauty and the top scholar are meant to be together, and I have a clever plan for the tomboy and the blockhead, too.

In public, I'm a sweet, considerate little bunny, and I'm great at acting cute and playing dumb. Behind closed doors, I'm a sly little fox who plays the pig to eat the tiger. Anyone who gets in my way will be cut down, cut down, cut down.

Watch Xiao Huaiyue's rise from sweet and innocent to ruthlessly cunning, as she slaughters her way to victory.
