Jing Yuntang was a lonely concubine-born daughter with no family to rely on. Her brother-in-law fell for her at first sight and repeatedly made things difficult for her.
She and Gu Linyuan, the young general from the neighboring Marquis of Wu'an's household, had grown up together and fallen in love. On the Lantern Festival last year, their families arranged their marriage.
But on their wedding night, her brother-in-law abused his authority to send Gu Linyuan to Jiangnan to suppress bandits, then secretly arranged for a woman to seduce him.
Half a year later, Gu Linyuan returned home with a pregnant woman in tow. The woman from Jiangnan was gentle and tender.
For the first time, Gu Linyuan dared not look his wife in the eye. He said only, “I felt sorry for her. I didn't know at the time that my brother-in-law had set me up. I... am at the age when my blood runs hot...”
Jing Yuntang asked for a divorce. Gu Linyuan not only refused, but stripped her of her freedom and locked her away in the inner quarters. As if in a fit of pique, he even took the household authority from her and handed it to the woman from Jiangnan, leaving Jing Yuntang to fend for herself.
Her elder sister secretly helped her escape, only to turn around and join forces with the woman from Jiangnan, conspiring to sell her into a brothel.
She left her with one cutting remark: “Don't blame me. Blame that face of yours for making your brother-in-law lose his head over you!”
The brothel bed was filthy. As she stared blankly at the rippling curtains, she suddenly realized that beauty alone could be a curse.
Later, she was tortured to death by a client, dying miserably in the brothel.
Reborn, she cut off all ties of affection and made a fortune in business with ruthless methods, using her beauty and wealth to acquire power and status.
Then she settled every score and repaid every grievance.
She would make that pack of bastards suffer the consequences of their own actions!
On the day Jing Yuntang divorced her husband, she stood beside the powerful and high-ranking Regent.
They say General Gu was so heartbroken that he went mad.
It may be a bit confusing when you first watch it, but the more you watch it, the more exciting it gets. The sweetheart the heroine loved when she was young couldn't withstand the temptation and got pregnant without marriage, but still wanted to imprison the heroine in the back house; her brother-in-law secretly spied on the heroine, and openly forced her to make him his concubine... The so-called love between sisters, love between mother and daughter, and love between husband and wife are nothing more than the result of weighing the pros and cons for their own benefit. The heroine is like a little flower blooming from thorns. She is tenacious and unyielding. She will never forget the goal in her heart and will never regret it. Male Protagonist: Li Cianwei's handsome eyebrows were full of heartache. He gently wiped away her tears and looked at her quietly, "You can do whatever you want here with me. You don't have to please me. If you are happy, you are happy. If you are unhappy, you are unhappy. You just need to be yourself here. No matter what you are, I like you."
Although the plot is a bit confusing and some parts feel unreasonable, the author's writing style is pretty good, especially the bad qualities of men, which are very real. A man who is obsessed with pornography and prides himself on being affectionate, a brother-in-law who can't wait to covet his sister-in-law, a groom who meets his sweetheart on their wedding night... I look forward to the follow-up and leave a good man to the heroine. I hope that the previous life was a misunderstanding and the death of the heroine has less to do with the hero.
I'm following up on the update, I like the heroine to be crisp and cruel, and just do it without any fuss. After all, in novels, too much talking often leads to much trouble. Just look forward to having a good relationship with the male protagonist in the future. Don't let anyone go if they are your biological mother, ex-husband, ex-husband's wife, brother-in-law, sister, second aunt... If they are enemies, don't be lenient.
The highlight of this compact rebirth novel is that the heroine will not be inexplicably soft-hearted towards the two scumbag men in her previous life, or suffer from major emotional fluctuations. He is also very decisive in taking revenge on his enemies. She is a great beauty, but whether she is scared or helpless, the author rarely describes her crying and weakness. It shows that the author still made the heroine in her novel a character with a strong heart. This is particularly good. It is reasonable for her to be cold and ruthless and not to trust any man easily. Most of the time, the heroine resists a lot of malice and harm with her weak body. She doesn't have a golden finger to hold on until the male protagonist appears, which is very good.
The only highlight of this article is that the heroine will never give in to the evil forces even when she is forced to a dead end!
The ending is good, but it's too cheap of the heroine's husband in her previous life. Among the enemies of the heroine in her previous life, the women in this life are miserable, but the men are fine.
This article is really first-class in terms of making people feel frustrated. For this special underworld twist, I give it five stars ()
The plot has ups and downs and is interesting to watch
So beautiful, the heroine is so charming
It deserves a higher score. I didn't miss it because of the score. The emotional entanglement of several people, right and wrong, is very interesting, but the regent is too bitter. It would be better if the author writes more about the daily love between the male and female protagonists to increase the sweetness.
