【Disguised as a man + imperial exams and political intrigue + deceiving the emperor + revenge after being reborn】
In her previous life, she kindly saved someone, only to invite a wolf into her home and get her whole family killed. Her parents’ cold bodies lying in a pool of blood, her younger brother’s screams as his arm was hacked off, and Mu Rongchun’s hypocritical face haunted her relentlessly.
In this life, she’ll carve a path through the bloodshed as a man. “Jiang Ziqian,” she breathes onto the mirror, her voice hoarse. What she doesn’t know is that Li Wenyuan, the “brother” who spends every day by her side and fights alongside her, has already fallen for her. But she is living as a man, assuming someone else’s identity, and committing the grave offense of deceiving the emperor. If exposed, she’ll be sentenced to the death of her entire family.
