In her previous life, Shen Qinglan, granddaughter of the Grand Tutor, paved the way for the impoverished scholar Su Heyang, helping him rise to the top and become the chief minister. Once he reached the heights of power, he showed his true colors, framing the crown prince and currying favor with the powerful, ultimately bringing about the downfall of the Shen family. Unwilling to accept this fate, Shen Qinglan rushed into a lake with him, intending for them both to die. Instead, she and Su Heyang were both reborn. She casts off her foolishness, leaving only a cold, sharp glint in her eyes. All she wants is to stay away from Su Heyang, support Wei Wenjing, the crown prince who was killed in her previous life, and change their fates! By a twist of fate, she marries into the Eastern Palace. But due to a misunderstanding, her half-sister becomes the crown princess, while she, the legitimate daughter, is reduced to a concubine. She believes her feelings for the crown prince are merely those of a sister for her brother, though she also feels a little guilty and wants to help him. But as they spend time together, unexpected sparks gradually begin to fly.
I just like watching a smart heroine torture a scumbag, but I don't like silly and sweet things. This book is good!
