The day Daiyu drowned herself in the lake, Fairy Jing Huan cast down a Talisman of Awakening: “Live another life, and don’t be doomed to an early death!”
Reborn just as she first enters the Rongguo Mansion, she sheds her affectations and frail manner. Only a steely edge remains in her eyes. Zhou Rui’s wife treats her with disdain? Daiyu puts her in her place and humiliates her. Aunt Zhao poisons her? Daiyu turns the tables and makes her suffer the consequences. Wang Xifeng plots against her? Daiyu sets a clever trap and makes her take a hard fall!
At the poetry gathering in the Grand View Garden, her poem, “Proud Bones Standing in the Frosty Dawn,” amazes everyone. Yet she conceals her edge and quietly lays her plans. She joins forces with Baochai to decipher the Rongguo Mansion’s embezzlement records, exposing the Third Prince’s conspiracy to rebel. As the court grows ever more treacherous, she wields poetry as a blade and wisdom as a shield, advising the emperor and overturning wrongful convictions. Against all odds, she rewrites her family’s fate of ruin!
Baoyu is no longer a mischievous young master. Instead, he becomes her staunchest ally: “Wherever my younger sister goes, I’ll go too.” Baochai lets go of her reservations and joins Daiyu in breaking through one predicament after another, together protecting their country and its people. From power struggles in the inner household to political machinations at court, from the Grand View Garden to the battlefields on the frontier, Daiyu relies on her talent alone to establish academies, promote agriculture and sericulture, and bring peace to the land. She becomes a true female chronicler of the Xiaoxiang region!
Who says a beautiful woman must be doomed to a tragic fate? In this life, Lin Daiyu will show the world that talent can bring peace to a nation and women can stand on their own! Reborn + inner-household battles + political intrigue + sweet romance, with a breakneck pace and nonstop thrills. Watch Daiyu defy fate, join hands with her beloved, and carve out a dazzling life all her own!
It's so beautiful. I look forward to seeing Sister Lin taking over the whole city.
