Reborn, revenge, sweet first, then angst
Before she was reborn, Shi Yunxi was merely the illegitimate daughter of a concubine. Before she was even born, her mother died in a difficult labor. A midwife bribed by the Second Concubine lied to the emperor, claiming the baby was a boy, and urged him to save the child rather than the mother. When the truth came out and the baby was revealed to be a girl, the midwife was punished. But the Second Concubine used the son she later gave birth to, the crown prince, to claim the position of principal consort. From then on, Shi Yunxi’s life became a nightmare. She was put to work in the kitchen morning and night, given only one meal a day, and fed nothing but slop. Before she was even twenty, the principal consort poisoned her to death.
After being reborn, she is no longer a naive, sweet girl who lets others lead her around. In her second life, she has been gifted with extraordinary intelligence and supernatural powers. She will make this world her own!
