Defying Heaven’s Will: The Villainous Phoenix Consort Quits

Since I've been reborn as a doomed villain, I'll tear up the script and write my own ending!

After dying from overwork, Lin Qingyao transmigrated into a palace-intrigue power fantasy novel and became Shen Wanning, the vicious supporting character who was fated to die miserably from the very first chapter.

In the original story, she was infatuated with the Crown Prince, framed the heroine, and ultimately ended up abandoned by everyone, violated by soldiers, and left without a trace of her remains.

When she arrived, the story had only just begun. She had three years left to live.

Bound to the [Fate Editor], she was done playing the villain!

The System told her that every key choice she changed would earn her “fate points,” which she could exchange for skills, use to foresee danger, and even... rewrite the original plot.

And so the capital's noblewomen were in an uproar:

How had that foolish, arrogant daughter of the Marquis's principal wife suddenly changed?

At a flower-viewing banquet, she moved an envoy from the northern frontier with a performance of Eighteen Stanzas of the Nomad Flute, making herself famous throughout the capital;

At a palace banquet, she spotted the strange poison afflicting the princess at a glance and won the emperor's favor;

Even the notoriously hard-to-please Grand Princess Rongchang gifted her a jade pendant she wore close to her skin, praising her “kind heart and miraculous hands.”

Her half-sister, who should have been her enemy, became her most loyal ally;

The Third Prince Xiao Jue, cold and aloof in the original story, offered her a hand in cooperation;

Even the heroine, who was destined to drive her into a dead end, formed an “Eastern Palace Alliance” with her...

But why was the plot getting more and more strange?

The Crown Prince Xiao Yu was not supposed to be her destined match, yet he personally petitioned the emperor to take her as his secondary consort;

The frail Third Prince Xiao Jue had secretly built an astonishing power base;

And Consort Shu, who was said to have an old grudge against her mother, looked at her with an inscrutable expression...

Just as Lin Qingyao thought she had planned every step carefully and was about to turn her fate around
