[Past Life] She was the true daughter of a marquis's household, lost outside the family and later brought back. For the sake of so-called family love, she kept her talents hidden, used her medical skills to pave the way for her family, and gave her whole heart to help the Third Prince seize the throne. She thought her hardships had finally paid off, never realizing she had let the wolves in. On the day of her coronation as empress, her beloved husband crippled her, and her cherished younger half-sister, the "fake daughter," Gu Yuerou, cut out her heart and drained her blood. Her sister's heart ailment had flared up, and she needed the protagonist's "seven-aperture exquisite heart" as a medicinal catalyst. Only as she lay dying did she learn that, from beginning to end, she had been nothing but a walking "blood bag" and "stepping stone."
[This Life] The phoenix weeps blood and is reborn through fire. Gu Qingluan returns to the day of her fifteenth birthday ceremony. This time, she is no longer the timid, self-sacrificing saint. She is a top crisis communications director from the twenty-first century, and a demon of vengeance returned from hell. Facing her hypocritical stepmother? Tear off her mask and ruin her reputation! Facing the two-faced fake daughter? Since you love acting, I'll build you a stage and let you perform to your heart's content, then send you straight to hell! Facing the scumbag from her past life? You want to use "deep devotion" to take advantage of me again? Sorry, this time I'll send you to eternal damnation!
"In this court and inner household, truth lies only within the range of a poisoned needle, and dignity rests only on the blade of power."
But why does the regent, who holds power over the entire court and kills without blinking, always stare at her as if he can see through everything? The regent says, "This prince needs a wife. You know how to kill, and I'll hand you the knife. We're a perfect match."
