[Max-level mysticism + inner-courtyard scheming + no romance + strong heroine + face-slapping + the heroine is a big shot, and that’s all there is to it]
Shen Zhiyao was only four when she transmigrated, and illness had left her with just 0.01 of a life to spare.
She lacked years, money, and influence. Blind in her left eye, she coughed up blood at the slightest provocation and could drop dead at any moment.
Her master raised her for ten years, using heavenly treasures to snatch her back from the King of Hell. Then one day, he fled overnight.
All he left was a letter: Go to the Marquis’s residence, claim your family, and stay alive.
Shen Zhiyao: ??? You can’t afford to keep me anymore, can you?
So she entered the Yong’an Marquis’s residence as “the marquis’s illegitimate daughter, raised outside the family”: a declining noble household whose fortunes were running out, full of the old, the weak, the sick, and the young.
The residence also had a distinguished “fake heiress,” beloved by powerful figures in the palace and enjoying the family’s finest resources. Everyone treated her with deference.
Everyone thought the sickly illegitimate daughter, Shen Zhiyao, could never make waves.
Until she casually slapped a “living person” and sent them scattering into nothing.
Everyone: How terrifying! She actually killed someone over the slightest disagreement!
Shen Zhiyao: Huh? Wasn’t she already dead? You couldn’t tell?
*
The fake heiress earnestly schemes for favor in the inner household, only to find that everyone is lining up to have the sickly girl tell their fortunes and give them acupuncture?
The Marquis’s household: Anyone who dares lay a hand on our eldest young lady will have to fight our entire clan!
The fake heiress, forcing a smile: Sister, we’re family, after all...
*
Those who plotted against her, stole her years, and wiped out her family still sat in lofty positions, looking down on the world.
Shen Zhiyao touched her left eye and smiled.
“You owe me. Time to pay up.”
Overall, it's not bad. The low rating might be due to a lack of comments. But in the latest chapter, why would the older brother hit the female lead because of his adopted daughter? Even if it was to prevent things from escalating, it still feels quite strange, and his character seems a bit off—a brother who dotes on the female lead so much.
It's good. The female lead seems to be the "deceased" younger sister of the Marquis's family, who disappeared in a fire for some reason but came back to life and was raised by an old Taoist priest. Her fate was transferred by someone, causing misfortune for her entire family, and her mother even ran away to look for her.
The father's intelligence fluctuates wildly, and many characters besides the female protagonist are like NPCs, especially the doctors.
It's great! The female lead must have some connection to the Marquis's mansion, and the fake heiress has connections to the palace. I'm looking forward to seeing how it all unfolds.
It's so enjoyable and the story is great! A really engaging read! It's just too short!!! Keep up the good work, author!!! It's truly fantastic!!!
With its smooth and delicate writing style and captivating, intricately plotted storyline, this is a rare masterpiece. Thank you for your hard work, author; you are the most beautiful.
I couldn't stand watching the older brother hit the female lead, but I also really want to know in which chapter the female lead reclaims her own destiny, and what punishment the second female lead receives. Can anyone kindly tell me?
Please update soon, it's so good!
So far, I think it's good.
It's too slow, it's good, but the updates are too slow.
