[Rebirth + feel-good revenge + play the pig to eat the tiger + revenge]
Shi Qingrong was reborn.
She returned to the moment when Xie Siyuan had nearly ruined her virtue and her scumbag father was forcing her to become a concubine. Xie Siyuan thought Shi Qingrong would still be his cash cow, her scumbag father thought she could still pave his way to officialdom, and her stepmother thought she could serve as a foil for her daughter.
Little did they know, Shi Qingrong had already planned everything and was just waiting for them to walk right into her trap.
Good riddance to the scumbag man, scumbag father, and scumbag stepmother! I'm off to the prince's residence to investigate the truth behind my mother's tragic death.
Scumbag Xie Siyuan: "Just you wait! The heir's one true love is your younger sister. Even if you marry him, you'll be a widow in all but name!"
What a coincidence. I'm the one true love!
The scumbag man hit the roof.
Her scumbag father: "His Majesty is wary of Prince Qi. You'll never be able to go to the capital."
An even greater coincidence: I brought the entire Prince Qi's residence back to the capital in glory through my own efforts. So who can't go to the capital? Oh, it's you, scumbag father!
But as the truth behind her mother's tragic death gradually came to light, Shi Qingrong felt no joy at all.
Why was the truth like this...
