A madwoman gets a second chance at life, determined only to avenge herself and personally torment the beloved she cherished in her previous life. In her last life, the heroine Ling Zhaozhao fell in love with Prince Yan of the Xuanyuan Kingdom. For the man she loved, she even married the crown prince, all the while helping Prince Yan fight for the Eastern Palace and scheme to seize the throne. In the end, she met a tragic death, full of hatred, while her family was exiled to Ningguta.
Carrying regrets and unresolved grievances, she is reborn. Though she retains her memories of her previous life, she is now a young child and powerless to change many things. Her identity is tragic too: she was born to the eldest princess of the Tiansheng Dynasty and her lover, then given by the emperor to Prince Ling and his consort to raise. Having suffered enough from a fate dictated by others in her last life, she once tried to endure everything with extreme caution, only to die miserably in the end. This time, she is an outspoken, straight-shooting girl who does only what she believes is right and what makes her happy. To the adults around her, Ling Zhaozhao’s candor and passion for righting wrongs make her a troublemaker and a walking disaster. Her adoptive mother, Princess Consort Ling, also abused her throughout her childhood because she was born out of wedlock. Relying on the memories of her previous life, Ling Zhaozhao repeatedly practices the incantations and techniques for wielding shamanic power that she learned back then, saving herself time and again. The martial arts expert Su Nan takes her on as a disciple under the guise of teaching her medicine, and trains her in martial arts and medicine.
A unique and distinctive book, worth reading.
