[Ex-bashing revenge + harem of admirers + romantic rivalry + golden finger library] If you love this kind of story, how is a competition between the male leads not just another household battle?
Shen Jiyao was poisoned to death by her husband, Gu Qian. As she died, she mocked him:
"The new emperor wants to kill my father, your mentor. You said the emperor is one of the five bonds you must honor, and you handed him the knife. Now the new emperor wants to take your wife, so why aren't you loyal to him? Why are you trying to kill me instead?"
Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao rewarded good and punished evil. Shen Jiyao was reborn, gained a glimpse of heavenly secrets, and entered a library where she could learn anything.
Want to compete in literature? Can you beat the elegance of the Wei and Jin dynasties or the grandeur of the Tang and Song?
Want to compete in martial arts? Can you match a divine-arm crossbow that hits from half a mile away, or a red-clad cannon that fires ten thousand shots?
But first things first: kill the scumbag. Except the assassin sneaks into her bedroom at night and says that since the target came back from the dead, killing him again will cost extra. She can pay in favors, though.
Perhaps she should go find a handsome young general and ride horses, hunt, and enjoy the scenery instead.
This life, after her new senior brother learns about her past, he draws her into his arms on the bed and asks if he is merely a substitute for the one she sought in this life.
After all that trouble to stop the new emperor, who ruined her entire family in her previous life, from taking the throne, his successor is now begging her to enter the palace too. Is this just what all you royals are into?
