[Transmigration + strong heroine + not a saint + not mutually faithful + ruthless]
Lin Xi saw her boyfriend dancing in the arms of another woman at a bar. Downing several drinks in frustration, she somehow transmigrated into another woman with the same name, “Lin Xi.”
Thinking he was a bartender serving drinks, Lin Xi flirted with the handsome Song Mingyuan.
Before she could do anything, Consort Rou claimed to have chest pains and called him away.
Ignored on her wedding night, Lin Xi took her maid to confront them and give Consort Rou a lesson while she was at it.
Consort Rou retaliated with a scheme, and the clueless Song Mingyuan put Lin Xi under house arrest.
But Lin Xi sneaked out of the palace and ran into Wen Jiuqing, a prince from an enemy kingdom.
Later, the two kingdoms went to war. Her father was falsely accused of treason and imprisoned, while Lin Xi was framed and sent to the Yu Kingdom as a hostage.
On the way to the Yu Kingdom, Lin Xi met Xiao Hengzhi, the regent, who later became a great help to her.
Wen Jiuqing arranged for Lin Xi to fake her death and enter the palace as a consort under a new identity.
When she happened to discover that Wen Jiuqing was behind everything, Lin Xi began plotting and planning carefully, one step at a time.
After taking revenge on Wen Jiuqing, her next move was naturally to settle the old score with her ex-husband for destroying her family.
Years later, Lin Xi, now the Empress Dowager, sat in court and directed the affairs of the empire!
Xiao Hengzhi, head of the ministers, looked at Lin Xi with a wounded expression. Even now, this woman still refused to give him a title.
Looking back on her past, Lin Xi thought: Men are nothing but stepping stones to success!
