[Discreet Village Heiress × Devoted Prince | Reborn for Revenge | Court Intrigue | Tortured Romance]
Zhuang Qingli died beneath the pressure of the Eighth Prince’s army, brought there by Zhao Huaiyu, the man she loved.
When she opened her eyes again, she had become Zhen Hongxing, the sickly legitimate daughter of the corrupt Zhen family and the loyal Ouyang family.
Wearing the guise of a frail beauty, she seized the opportunity to establish the Red Chamber Medical Hall and gather talented commoners. She founded the imperial examinations for women, shaking the foundations of the court, and steadily grasped power in her own hands.
A Persian princess, remnants of the former dynasty, wandering swordsmen… one force after another takes the stage. She has no choice but to break this deadlock!
Reborn in this life, all she should have wanted was a lifetime of peace for the people she cared about. That was until Zhao Huaiyu took her by the wrist and showed her the prosperous realm under his rule.
“Lishan must never become another Tanglizhuang. I’ll persuade Yan Juechen to submit. As for us, from the day you destroyed my estate, you should have known we could never be together…”
She smiled, her voice soft as a blade slicing through silk:
“I miss him. Let me go.”
But in the end, she still died within the palace walls,
the night before the royal army returned in triumph through the heavy snow…
This is a very old sadistic novel. Judging from the introduction, the heroine died twice, once in prison, and after rebirth she died when she was about to triumph. If you like reading about female abuse literature, you can read it. The heroine's struggles and efforts lead to the end of a tragic fate...
I hope there will be many book reviews, both good and bad.
