On the night Shen Qingci bled to death in the Cold Palace, she finally awakened.
It turned out she was the vicious supporting character who wouldn't survive past three volumes, destined to pave the way for true love before being cast aside like trash.
When she opened her eyes again, she was back at the turning point of her fate. The Prince of Jing wanted her kidney to save his white-lotus beloved, so she tore up the marriage contract and laughed coldly. “You think you're worthy?”
This time, she would no longer be a pawn. She would be the one moving the pieces.
She opened the Splendid Pavilion, built an intelligence network, and shook the court with her astonishing talent.
The men who had once looked down on her now all bent to her will:
The Grand Secretary offered her a secret dossier and promised to stand beside her as they surveyed the realm.
The young general surrendered his military command token, willing to protect her for life.
The wealthy Jiangnan magnate gave away a fortune to help her build a business empire.
Even the Prince of Jing, who had once trampled on her, knelt in the rain and begged her to come back.
As everyone around her went mad with devotion, Shen Qingci toyed with the tiger tally and parted her red lips.
“You want me?”
“Then prove which of you deserves to stand by my side.”
When the final secret was revealed, she stood at the pinnacle of power and looked back with a smile.
“This game is mine to control.”
The story of a vicious supporting character who tears up the script and makes the whole world compete for her.
