[Native-Born Woman vs. Transmigrated Woman + Reborn + Feel-Good Revenge + Fight for the Throne (Little Romance)]
After Zhao Shu died, she learned that she was the vicious supporting female character in a storybook, a tyrant who bullied others with her power.
The consort she had seized was the original male lead. He treated her coldly, drove her mad, and even sent her to Western Jue as a hostage, all under the noble pretext of atoning to the heroine.
The elder brother she had devoted herself to protecting was the current male lead. He plotted against her and kept her down, letting the heroine make a name for herself in the capital at her expense, then traded her for the position of Crown Prince, all under the noble pretext of putting duty before family.
After being reborn, Zhao Shu decided to fully embrace her villainess persona and build a network of villainous allies.
She stoked her consort's ambitions, isolated the Xue family's influence at court, and killed.
She snatched the heroine's opportunities and reaped the benefits of modern knowledge, and seized wealth.
She tarnished her brother's reputation and quietly gathered allies, then seized power.
Before she knew it, she had gone too far in her wickedness and slaughtered her way through the imperial family. Zhao Shu became empress, rising to the throne as a princess.
On the day of her coronation, officials eagerly presented the talented young men of their families, but one man, eyes red from crying, clung to the hem of Zhao Shu's robe.
“Your Highness had your fill of me. Surely you don't mean to use me and then cast me aside?”
“I want neither a high office nor great wealth. I ask only for one heart, and to stay together until our hair turns white.”
“Fengwu, in this life, I finally have the good fortune to call you by your childhood name.”
[The male lead is a tragic puppy, hopelessly in love to the extreme, and willing to be the other man for love.]
