[Reborn + a smart heroine + beautiful and badass female lead + refined yet obsessive male lead]
When Gan Tang opened her eyes, she discovered she had transmigrated seven years after her death.
The pitiful boys she'd once known had all become powerful figures.
The frail cousin she had saved time and again was now the emperor.
The boy next door who had grown up with her was now a great general in the northwest.
The cold-faced scholar she had spent one reckless night with was now the regent.
Gan Tang had spent her life walking on eggshells. At last, she had someone to stand up for her.
An unbeatable start, and she could lie flat without a care.
Then Gan Tang realized this world was one enormous novel. Her husband had killed her, made his mistress his official wife, and passed off the mistress's son as her child.
The male lead of the story was her adopted son, who stole all her opportunities and became an emperor straight out of a male power fantasy.
That's the power of a dead woman: years after her death, even a fake son can still stir up trouble.
The real deal is back.
Gan Tang fell into thought: You're saying my fake son became emperor?

Scumbag husband: “You want a divorce? Dream on!”
Gan Tang picked up a vase and brought it down on him. “Your hand's injured. You can't write the divorce papers, so I'll forgive you.”

Gan Tang was never a goody-two-shoes.
When she learned her husband had taken a mistress, she refused to be outdone and found herself a male courtesan.
It was only seven years later that she discovered he was the regent.
Gan Tang: I'm ten percent sorry and ninety percent delighted. Either way, I still got to enjoy the melon, even though it was forced upon me.
