Shen Xueyue was reborn.
In her previous life, she was the discarded daughter of a marquis. Her father didn't care for her, her mother didn't love her, and she was left with a body full of illnesses. In the end, no medicine could cure her, and she died full of regret.
When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the age of sixteen.
This time, she only wanted to cure her illness, lie flat, and be a couch potato... But what was the point of fighting a wicked stepmother and a biased grandfather when her life was counting down either way?!
So how did lying around end up with her joining the Third Princess's pirate ship?
At their first meeting, the princess appointed her as an assistant prefect and ordered her to investigate the case of a drowned dancer together. Under imperial decree, she had to accept.
When people mocked her, the princess came to visit in the middle of the night and promised: “Follow me into court. You'll be made a marquis in three years and prime minister in five.”
Shen Xueyue was dumbfounded. “Well, what are we waiting for? Long live the princess! No, long live my lord!”
A censor's robe tucked close, a black gauze official's hat upon my head.
Whoever displeases me, I'll trample down. Sitting back and reaping the rewards, what could be better?
I'll handle both court and business, and spend my money however I please!
