A Substitute Bride Expected to Keep a Widow's Vigil? The Real Heiress Stuns the Court With Metaphysics

In her previous life, Jiang Qi was the most authoritative sect leader of the Mystic Sect.

After transmigrating, she became Jiang Qi, the true eldest daughter who had been abandoned as a child and was disliked by her father and despised by her mother.

An imperial edict ordered a daughter of the Jiang family to marry Prince Rui.

Everyone knew Prince Rui was gravely ill and would not live much longer.

The Jiang family brought home the true daughter they had abandoned in the countryside for over a decade.

Madam Jiang said, “Prince Rui has been sick for years and won’t live more than a few months. You were born lowly anyway, so marrying him in place of Xian’er is a blessing for you.”

Xian’er was the Jiang family’s adopted daughter, a supposed lucky star whose presence was said to bring prosperity to the family.

But Jiang Qi saw through it: she was a false lucky star, raised by stealing the original daughter’s fortune, destiny, and blessings for more than a decade.

They had mistreated their true daughter for the sake of a fake one.

Jiang Qi simply severed the adopted daughter’s link to the fortune she had been parasitizing from the original owner.

She would marry, but she would cut ties with the family!

With this marriage, Jiang Qi would settle all the karmic ties between the original owner and the Jiang family.

She could see it clearly: the entire Jiang family had darkened brows and their fortunes were all but spent. Within half a year, disaster would surely destroy them all.

Everyone waited to see her enter the prince’s residence in her red bridal gown, certain she would be widowed within months.

They had no idea that the true daughter they had once trampled on was the most gifted sect leader of the Mystic Sect.

She excelled at reading faces, divination, drawing talismans, driving out evil, changing fate, and feng shui.

On her wedding day, a talisman formed at her fingertips.

Three talismans were enough to change fate!

Prince Rui, once on the brink of death, grew healthier by the day.

Before long, he revealed his full brilliance and once again held power over the entire court.

With a single reading, she foretold the fortunes and misfortunes of the powerful.

With one finger, she dispelled evil spirits in the palace.

With a single word, she shaped the course of the court.

Those who once mocked her for marrying in another woman’s place and facing widowhood now cowered at her feet, trembling.

The fake daughter schemed until her luck ran out and became a laughingstock.

The Jiang family bitterly regretted their actions and knelt, begging to acknowledge her.

But it was too late.
