The Imperial Astronomical Bureau declared that Ye Shuwan was destined to be a phoenix. The tragedy was that before she could enjoy the honor of becoming empress, she was sent to be sacrificed to Heaven.
Only on the verge of death did she learn that the man she loved most had schemed against her with her own younger sister.
Given another life, she swore to use the lives of that vile man and woman to atone for what they had done to her in her previous life!
A beautiful love forged in her blood? Bah! To hell with it!
So, determined not to repeat her past mistakes and end up sacrificed as the Phoenix Star again, Ye Shuwan decided to find herself a powerful patron first.
Everyone said the Second Prince was warmhearted and easy to get along with. Well, he'd do.
But why did the man in front of her seem so... off?
He was supposed to be easygoing, so why did he look murderous, as though he might snap her neck at any moment?
Oh no! She'd accidentally flirted with the wrong person: the violent and deadly Crown Prince Ling Yuan, whom everyone avoided!
“Didn't you just say you admired me, Miss Ye? What, were you lying?” Ling Yuan narrowed his eyes, his hands behind his back as he cornered her step by step.
Ye Shuwan: “...”
She thought she could still salvage the situation!
So she lunged at him, launching her life of clinging to a powerful patron, throwing her weight around, and gleefully crushing her enemies.
Why are things so strange? Take Fengxing's matter, for example. The concubine's daughter said she had evidence, so why was she dragged away and imprisoned before she could even present it? Also, why were the two sisters so arrogant and shouting in front of everyone at the banquet? And when they got home, she beat Yuqiu, and everyone else was so obedient?
Hehe, I snagged a first-class ticket!
