[Reborn, strong heroine, face-slapping, court intrigue, woman disguised as a man]
In my previous life, I was the legitimate daughter of the Ning family. I was used by my childhood sweetheart, Prince Jing Xiao Jingyuan, who let his concubine Ruan Tian poison me and destroy the Ning family! As I died with hatred in my heart, the cruel smiles of that wretched pair were seared into my memory.
Reborn, I found myself in the body of Ruan Tian, who was about to marry into Prince Jing’s household! Looking at the face that had ruined me in the bronze mirror, I sneered. “You want me to be a concubine? Dream on!”
Disguised as a man and renamed Shen Qingci, I took my wealth of knowledge into the imperial examinations. I took down street thugs and dazzled the exam hall, earning a place among the second-rank successful candidates and shocking the court! I entered the Hanlin Academy and gained the support of the Censor-in-Chief, carefully building my power at every step, all for the sake of revenge!
On the day of the wedding, I stormed Prince Jing’s residence with an imperial edict and exposed Xiao Jingyuan’s plot to rebel, sending him to the imperial prison! But who could have guessed that an even more terrifying royal power was lurking behind him, and that the truth behind the Ning family’s destruction was far from simple?
I’ll protect my former self, clear my elder brother’s name, and rise to power as a female chancellor! Along the path of revenge, hidden schemes and secret deals gradually come to light, while a peculiar bond forms between me and the person I was in my previous life… The novel is packed with satisfying face-slapping, with payback arriving overnight and clues carefully planted throughout. The heroine’s rise is an absolute thrill!
