[Reborn heroine vs. System-backed rival + strong heroine and less powerful hero + hero plays the pig to eat the tiger; slow burn, steady and gradual romance]
The distinguished legitimate daughter of the Shen family could have chosen any young master from a prestigious clan, yet she fell for a poor candidate from the countryside!
When the news broke, everyone said she was a fool. No one expected the poor candidate to turn his fortunes around and place third in the palace examinations!
Only Shen Zhimi remained as calm as ever.
She had been reborn four times and knew that marrying anyone would end badly. She might as well choose someone she liked the look of, especially since she planned to divorce him a year later anyway.
When she learned that her half-sister was going to any lengths to marry into the Grand Tutor's household, Shen Zhimi generously handed over her former fiancé.
Go ahead, take him. One day, you'll realize that Mo Mingcheng isn't some promising prospect at all. He's an ungrateful wolf.
Even when the least favored of her half-sisters wanted to marry into a powerful family, Shen Zhimi was willing to help her along.
Those things never belonged to her in the first place. Even if someone snatched them, they wouldn't be able to hold on to them.
No one could understand Second Miss Shen. Only the poor candidate from the countryside understood her.
He knew she had grand ambitions, but cared little for romance.
That wouldn't do!
He hadn't become a top palace examination graduate for nothing. He knew her greatest weakness was her soft heart, so he would have to use a few schemes to win her over!
[This is not a revenge power fantasy. The heroine, the rival, and the hero have all been reborn. The mystery behind their rebirths is revealed at around 200,000 words.]
It makes me feel uncomfortable and frustrated.
I'm so frustrated, can't I go crazy for once? The heroine was reborn 4 times and still couldn't learn well.
How about making Liu a equal wife, and then the heroine's mother dies of illness and gives way to the throne, and the things in the heroine's hands are given to her sister, how appropriate. Her sister did everything right when she did something wrong. When she did something right, people felt it was okay to kneel down and give her money. The female supporting role cannot bear a little grievance, and the heroine cannot live without a little grievance.
