(Fake and real heiresses + brothers regret chasing their sister too late + adored by everyone + no romance + strong female lead + political intrigue + satisfying revenge + woman disguises herself as a man + sweet on the outside, ruthless within)
Shen Qingci was the adopted daughter of a general's household. She lived peacefully for fifteen years, until the real heiress, Shen Yunwei, was brought home and she became the entire family's target. Falsely accused and cast aside, she was misunderstood by the five brothers who had once loved her dearly. To prove her innocence and keep her brothers from being framed by corrupt officials, she bore the blame and leaped from a cliff thousands of feet high.
Everyone thought she was dead. Her brothers came to their senses and bitterly regretted what they had done, while her scheming “green tea” sister believed she could sit back and enjoy a life of luxury.
Little did they know, this was all part of Shen Qingci's carefully planned “rebirth.”
Three years later, she returns with immense power, now the leader of the world's greatest intelligence network, the Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion, and turns the world upside down. A decisive war god prince, the richest magnate in Jiangnan, a peerless physician who can bring the dead back to life… Countless extraordinary people are devoted to her.
Faced with her brothers' remorse and pleas, Shen Qingci sneers: “Too late. Behind me lies an empire stretching ten thousand miles!”
