[Reborn, she tells her worthless ex-husband to get lost, but a young general, a scheming half-brother, and a sinister former crown prince all come after her]
If you dislike the heroine being mistreated early on, start from Chapter Seven. This is a wish-fulfillment story about a universally adored heroine.
The Vicious Noble Consort Is Reborn as Everyone's Darling
Jiang Si is the simple-minded beauty: lovely as can be, but arrogant and foolish. Zhao Zhen is the black-hearted one: cool and ethereal, yet cruel as a snake and scorpion.
Jiang Si, the capital's greatest beauty, was given in marriage by the emperor to his seventh son, Prince Ling, Zhao Zhen. He was peerlessly handsome, unmatched in the world. She thought they would be a perfect pair, but their story ended in misery.
The day Zhao Zhen was crowned empress was clear and bright. The snow had fallen long enough to blanket the ground in white. That day, the Noble Consort escaped the courtyard where she had been confined and leaped from the Cloudwatching Terrace. Her robes fluttered as she fell like a leaf, staining the snow below. The fervor of the young man who once vowed to brave the snow and warm her had faded, leaving only a lingering bitterness. Reborn once more, she finds herself pursued by the sinister former crown prince, her childhood friend the young general, a cool and aloof young master from an aristocratic family, and her enigmatic half-brother.
Jiang Si decides that getting revenge on her ex-husband is an art.
