[Rebirth, revenge, the whole family will pay dearly and never be forgiven, true and fake heiresses]
Lin Shut ang spent six years disguised as a boy, entering the palace in her elder brother's place to serve as the Crown Prince's study companion. She took the imperial examinations for him, helping him achieve top honors and rise rapidly through the ranks.
Her whole family prospered as a result.
On the day her brother entered the palace to receive his reward, she was sent to the estate to lie low.
But when she returned, her family refused to acknowledge her as their daughter and recognized only their adopted daughter.
Her parents praised the adopted girl's cleverness, her brother treasured her, and her grandmother adored her good manners. They gave her Lin Shut ang's identity and name, saying Lin Shut ang would only drag the family down and was unworthy of being a daughter of the Lin family.
Even the position of Crown Princess that should have been hers went to the adopted girl, who married into the Eastern Palace in her place.
All it took was one remark from the adopted girl for them to strangle Lin Shut ang to death.
When she opened her eyes again, she had been reborn.
This time, she would not let them have their way.
To take revenge, Lin Shut ang sought out the most powerful Crown Prince in the land.
Shen Hegui was peerlessly noble, with all the capital's eligible young women at his disposal. Yet rumors said that after being used and discarded, he had changed completely and vowed to grind her bones to dust.
On their wedding night, Shen Hegui laid down three rules.
“I married you only because I need a Crown Princess. I have no affection for you whatsoever. If you want to stay alive, behave yourself from now on.”
Lin Shut ang always kept to her place and never crossed the line.
Once her revenge was complete, she faked her death and escaped, leaving the Eastern Palace behind.
But later, the Crown Prince, ruthless and cold-hearted, cornered her at the gates of the Eastern Palace. “Tang'er, are you going to use me and toss me aside again?”
