The Tale of the Bright Pearl

A note about the tags: this story focuses on palace intrigue, revenge, and a strong female lead. No farming!

Wang Mingzhu was just a peasant girl, but after a chance encounter, she became Xu Qingling and was swept into the palace.

The palace was a place of treacherous currents and endless strife. Xu Qingling thought of escaping, but could the person pulling the strings behind the scenes ever let her have her way?

One wrong step led to another, and Xu Qingling became entangled with them. She thought she could protect her mother and young brother, only to discover that it had all been part of someone else's scheme.

Having learned the truth, how could Xu Qingling willingly remain a pawn in someone else's hands?

And so her path of revenge began.

Chu Linxiao: “I offer you the entire realm as a bride price. Let us share this land together.”

Xu Qingling glanced at him disdainfully. “None of this is what I want.”

Prince Jing: “Qingqing, I...”

Xu Qingling backed away. “Scumbag, get lost!”

Wang Xuezhi smiled. Xu Qingling raised an eyebrow. “You too. Get lost!”
