A modern office worker accidentally transmigrates into a cultivation world. Just when she has finally cultivated enough to ascend to immortality, she unexpectedly transmigrates into a book.
She lands in the story she once criticized, where a favored concubine destroys the principal wife, only for the ending to turn everything upside down.
When she first read the book, she was furious on behalf of the marquis’s principal wife. The woman had brought a lavish dowry and married into a declining marquis’s household by imperial decree, only to end up with a timid husband who didn’t love her and gave her the cold shoulder for ten years. He fawned over his beloved concubine and illegitimate daughter, giving them his private funds to spend and fine clothes to wear. She had to endure her mother-in-law’s disdain every day, as well as mockery from her own siblings and their spouses...
Only at the end did it become clear just how ruthless the principal wife had been after keeping her head down for ten years. She drowned the illegitimate daughter, poisoned her mother-in-law, killed the favored concubine and her unborn twins, then wiped out the concubine’s entire family so there would be no loose ends...
She’d just transmigrated, and now she was supposed to die?
Cheng Shuangshuang refused to be such a hapless fool!
She had to survive, and live well, beautifully, and happily.
She didn’t care about the principal wife and favored concubine fighting for her husband’s affection, or which daughter was legitimate and which was not.
But there was no way she’d let anyone bully, harm, or humiliate her!
With one hand, she calls down thunder in the name of justice,
with the other, she uses illusions to enchant countless young gentlemen.
She unexpectedly wins over a little spirit from a divination lot,
and matches up unlikely couples, throwing the court into chaos.
After two lifetimes of being single, she’s finally surrounded by admirers in this one.
While the women fight over the men, scheming against each other and willing to die for them,
she watches from the sidelines, wanting nothing more than to be a wallflower.
And yet she ends up the biggest winner of all.
Good, good, good
