In her previous life, Shen Qingci was beyond foolish.
Her birth mother was the legitimate daughter of a duke's household.
After her mother died young, her stepmother spoiled and deceived her,
turning her into a laughingstock throughout the capital.
Her stepmother feigned kindness, while her stepsister played the innocent white lotus.
Shen Qingci took every word at face value, treating wolves as family.
She tore up her betrothal contract with Prince Chen with her own hands,
all because her stepmother said, "The Fourth Prince is dark and sinister. He's not good enough for you."
She obediently jumped into the trap her stepmother had laid, marrying a worthless man.
She endured endless torment, living in a world without light.
Meanwhile, her stepmother's own daughter trampled over her corpse, enjoying all the wealth and glory in the world.
She was tricked into breaking with the duke's household.
Even her maternal grandfather, who had loved her most, was utterly disappointed in her and never saw her again.
In the end, she died miserably at her stepmother's hands, collapsing in a pool of blood.
As she drew her last breath, she saw Prince Chen, whom she had cast aside like trash,
clad in black armor, charging in with his troops, a madness in his eyes she had never seen before.
She died with hatred in her heart, then was reborn and returned to the time before she broke off the engagement.
This time, her eyes are clear and her mind sharp. She will repay every blood debt!
She will tear away her stepmother's hypocritical mask and shatter her stepsister's white-lotus dreams.
She will kick her worthless ex to the curb, protect her grandfather, and restore her family's honor.
As for the powerful Prince Chen, who holds sway over the court...
In her previous life, she wronged him.
This time, she'll come to him herself and cling to him for dear life.
Her stepmother wants to steal him? Her ex wants to cling to her?
Sorry, Prince Chen is mine.
The glory is mine.
All the splendor in this world belongs to me, Shen Qingci!
Nice! I went and wrote well
