Spring Deep in the Brocade Hall: The Powerful Minister's Darling

Gu Jintang was once the jewel of the capital, but her stepmother and half-sister plotted against her and forced her to marry into the illustrious Chen family as a second wife. In the end, she died resentful amid the deadly rivalries of the inner household. When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the bloom of her fifteenth year, before marriage and before tragedy had begun!

In this life, she conceals her brilliance and quietly sets her plans in motion. Her exquisite painting dazzles the capital, her keen mind foils schemes, and the memories of her previous life help her reclaim, step by step, everything that belongs to her. Her stepmother’s poison plot? She turns it against her! Her half-sister’s frame-up? She gives as good as she gets! The truth behind her birth mother’s death remains shrouded in mystery, but she vows to uncover it and make the culprits pay in blood.

See how Gu Jintang uses the memories of her past life and the wisdom she has gained in this one to expose conspiracies, avenge her mother, and take control of her fate. Along the way, she and the cold-faced powerful minister Chen Yanzhi go from testing each other to a love that never wavers, together weaving a tale of brilliant years!
