You Stole My Talent for Your Legitimate Daughter? Fine, I’ll Be the Wicked Witch

Jiang Luo was born a prodigy, blessed with extraordinary talent. But when she was born, the family patriarch secretly changed her fate, stealing her gifted spiritual roots and giving them to the legitimate daughter instead. Jiang Luo suffered endless insults and mockery, and her family of four was driven out of the capital and dumped in a small town. She was even beaten into becoming an idiot. When she wakes again, she is Jiang Luo, a pupil-art master from the twenty-third century, with spiritual roots powerful enough to defy heaven. This time, she’s determined to take back everything she lost. Able to peer into and control people’s minds and command puppets, she returns to the capital armed with her gifts. The capital’s greatest genius girl? Jiang Luo: “Sorry, that spot’s reserved for me.” * When the mysterious Imperial Preceptor announces that he’s taking disciples, all the great families rush to put themselves forward. Jiang Luo alone couldn’t care less. Imperial Preceptor: “Miss Jiang, you seem quite talented. Would you be interested in becoming my disciple?” Jiang Luo: “Not interested.” Imperial Preceptor: “Then should I become your disciple?” Jiang Luo: “I’ll consider it.” Everyone: “!” It isn’t until one day that Jiang Luo discovers the Imperial Preceptor is the same person as the bewitching fox demon Xie Jin she once met that she realizes she’s been thoroughly played. That night, Xie Jin is left kneeling outside her door on a washboard, apologizing in a wounded voice. “I was wrong. Can you forgive me?” Jiang Luo: “What do you think?”
