Because of the plot, the characters may be wildly out of character, and the story gets pretty chaotic and outrageous. If that's not your thing, please move along. If you're here for something weird, come on in. You can read this as a wish-fulfillment novel. Fans of Rong Huan (Niao Huan), step right in! This is my first experiment in writing whatever comes to mind, so please go easy on me!
In her previous life, An Lingrong was trampled into the mud. She schemed and plotted, only to die miserably in the Cold Palace. It was only as she lay dying that she realized Zhen Huan was the only one who had ever truly cared for her.
When her soul transmigrates into another body, she finds herself as the ruthless Noble Consort Jia, Jin Yuyan! Gazing at her own dazzling, flamboyant face in the mirror, An Lingrong curls her lips in a cold smile. Since she has been given another life, she'll rewrite the palace's power struggles with her own hands!
She will no longer be a pawn for others to manipulate. She tears apart fake sweethearts and tramples her enemies, turning every scheme against her into armor to protect herself. When Emperor Qianlong turns his gaze her way, she sneers, “What does His Majesty's favor matter? It can't compare to a single smile from the Empress Dowager.”
And when she faces Zhen Huan, the woman she betrayed in her previous life yet thought of for the rest of it, she replaces the poisoned candied fruit with a warm bowl of lily soup, her eyes red-rimmed. “Sister, this time, I'll stand in front of you.”
From a mistreated An Lingrong to a powerful Noble Consort Jia, she carefully maneuvers at every turn, stirring up the palace. Everyone thinks Noble Consort Jia has gone mad and become utterly ruthless, but they don't know that every thorny step she takes conceals her burning devotion to Zhen Huan. “I will shield you from every storm in this palace.”
