The Crimson Flame Heiress

[Strong female lead + reborn for revenge + real and fake heiresses + substitute bride + love after marriage + two strong leads + household intrigue + political scheming + female mentor]+ [The concubine has her own secrets]

In her previous life, Ji Qingqing, also known as Liu Qingqing, was barely old enough to tie her hair when she and her mother became trapped in a conspiracy involving her scumbag father, her maternal grandfather, and a quack doctor. She was burned alive in a raging fire.

Reborn, Ji Qingqing was determined to defy fate and change her destiny!

Who could have guessed she’d get such a disastrous start: a house with nothing, an incompetent father, a mad mother, a foolishly dutiful elder sister, and a violently unstable younger brother?

She escaped one den of tigers only to land in a wolves’ lair. After six years of experiencing life’s ups and downs and weathering one setback after another, she became a marquis’s daughter?

She spent ten years lying low, all for the sake of revenge, only to get caught up in a romantic whirlpool: a domineering, jealous young general, a refined and gentle top scholar, and a sweet-talking, coquettish young musician?

Before she turned sixteen, she honed her skills while keeping her sharpness hidden.

After sixteen, she went all out: outwitting a vicious woman, guiding her mother through a second life, breaking free of rigid rules, showing her edge, punishing scumbags, cutting down quack doctors, making true friends, and fighting for freedom...

Under the capital’s calm surface, undercurrents stirred. Yellow sands and smoke filled the air as blades were sharpened on the border.

The day she got her revenge would be the day she headed south.

The great clans stood in her way? Rumors cut like knives? Another sea of flames? A mystery to solve and a culprit to find?

Ji Qingqing was determined to gather sparks into flames, and turn those flames into a prairie fire! She would establish schools for women, clear the names of wronged spirits, reform the military examinations, and become a female official...

Her journey in white to Jiangnan was not in vain. Her extraordinary talent made her name at the academy.

At the palace banquet, the emperor personally bestowed upon her a plaque reading “Teacher of the Realm.” An old acquaintance, eyes reddening, asked, “Lady Ji, do you still want an old friend?”

She brushed the old scar on her wrist and smiled. “What I want is everyone!”
