[Reborn concubine’s daughter + satisfying household power struggles + taking down the reborn legitimate daughter + rugged man and gentle, soft heroine + marriage first, love later]
In her previous life, Song Chaoyan schemed her way up from an unloved concubine’s daughter to a noble consort. She helped the useless emperor ascend the throne, only to become the sacrificial scapegoat for the treacherous emperor and his beloved cousin when rebel forces laid siege to the capital.
Reborn, Song Chaoyan, a master of social manipulation, decided she was done serving others. Then she heard the news: her legitimate sister, Song Yunluo, had been reborn too.
In her previous life, Song Yunluo had been mismatched with the rugged general Shen Ke. Their marriage was unhappy, she had an affair, and she was sent to a nunnery, where she died full of resentment.
Given another chance at life, she refused to marry Shen Ke. Let Song Chaoyan jump into the Shen family’s fire pit instead!
Who could have guessed that Song Chaoyan would not only jump right in, but make her life better and better, growing close to Shen Ke until they were perfectly in tune? Song Yunluo was furious.
Worse still, Shen Ke rose rapidly through the ranks. He won Song Chaoyan a first-rank title, then raised an army in rebellion, determined to conquer a vast empire for her and make her empress!
Song Chaoyan said, “Who says a poor country boy can’t be a hidden gem? Shen Ke was the rebel leader who captured the capital in my previous life. I’ve merely made that day come a little sooner.”
“I don’t care who becomes emperor. I’m going to be the founding empress.”
