Wen Qingyan lived through seven lifetimes, and every one ended in a gruesome death. After each of her deaths, all living things were laid to waste. She vaguely sensed that the secrets of fate behind it all were tied to her, but after dying seven times, who would want to start over again? So Wen Qingyan summoned Xu Nuo, whose fate was linked to hers, and asked her to live Wen Qingyan’s life once more and see whether this time the ending would be different.
Without a golden finger, Wen Qingyan, now with a different soul inside her, plans every step carefully. She punishes the unruly servants and takes back control of the marquis’s estate. When an old servant is framed, she steps in to help and makes the villains suffer the consequences of their own schemes. When floods ravage the land, she donates generously and earns a chance to sit the imperial examinations, winning first place and astonishing the court.
She serves three emperors, rising from an orphan girl whose marriage is arranged by imperial decree to a Hanlin Academician who keeps a mad emperor in check, and then to a regent who guides a young ruler.
Some covet her beauty and want to tame her proud spirit; others fall for her and are willing to fight over her.
But she will always be herself. She will not be an emperor’s consort or anyone’s wife. She will be the chancellor of all the people.
A slow-burn story of a strong woman’s growth. Welcome, everyone!
