[Strong Female Lead + Revenge] [Both Reborn + Mostly Sweet with a Little Heartache] [The Male Lead Is Just a Bonus at First] (Not a Pure Wish-Fulfillment Story)
In her previous life, she was shackled by the burdens of being a princess for her entire life.
Her father was an incompetent emperor, her mother had died young, her elder brother was frail, her younger brother was foolish, and foreign enemies watched them like hawks.
For the sake of Qi, she had no choice but to put her revenge for her mother’s murder on hold and marry far away in a political alliance, carrying her regrets with her.
Qi was too weak, a kingdom fated to be devoured. As a princess of a doomed nation, she was married off to the enemy kingdom to become its empress, with no way out.
She set aside her pride and humored her husband, hoping only to spare the people of Qi when the kingdom was defeated.
After Lin Qingqing failed for the 10,086th time to confess to the cold-faced king, she decided to lie flat. She thought she might as well let things be. Qi had fallen, but at least she was empress. The worst that could happen was being deposed and confined to Changle Palace. Living off the court as a discarded empress sounded pretty good. But after returning to the palace, she had the bad luck to be assassinated.
When she opened her eyes again, she had transmigrated to the modern world and spent 25 years as a spoiled rich third-generation heir. Only then did she learn what freedom and pure enjoyment felt like!
A handsome young celebrity? Pursue him!
Video games? Play them!
A trip around the world? Go for it!
Handsome, attentive male secretaries? Hire eighteen!
But too much happiness brought disaster. On her way home to ask her spoiled, rich-kid father for living expenses, she was kidnapped and killed for ransom.
When she opened her eyes again, damn it, why had I been sent back to ancient times as Lin Qingqing?! I don’t want to be reborn! What? I have to marry a tyrant too? She grabbed her things and made a run for it.
