Sister, I'm Tired of Wearing the Phoenix Crown in This Life

Gu Nian died the day before the new emperor ascended the throne.

For three years in the Cold Palace, she watched her younger sister, Gu Lian, rise from a low-ranking consort to empress.

Reborn at fourteen, she was still the eldest legitimate daughter of the marquis's household, while Gu Lian timidly tugged at her sleeve:

“Big Sister, would this lotus-colored dress be all right for the Crown Prince's selection banquet?”

Gu Nian gently caressed her sister's stunning cheek and smiled tenderly.

“No.”

“You should wear bright red if you want to stand out.”

After all, in this life, she would raise Gu Lian and the unfaithful man who had betrayed her in her previous life to the highest heights, then watch them fall hard.
