Synopsis

Born with a vermilion mark between her brows, she was said to be the kind of woman who could bring a kingdom to ruin.

Her half-brother died for her, her husband perished because of her, her son killed a ruler for her, and a king lost his kingdom over her.

In the official histories, she was branded a seductress who “killed three husbands, a ruler, and a son, and brought down a kingdom and two ministers.”

But she knew the truth.

She had never set out to hurt anyone.

Men slaughtered one another over her, then blamed it all on “a beauty who brought ruin to the kingdom.”

She chose to fight back.

From princess of Zheng to Lady of Chen, from spoils of war in the Chu palace to a strategist in Jin, she relied not on her beauty, but on her ability to see into people's hearts.

Prince Man's obsession, Kong Ning's scheming, the King of Chu's greed, Wu Chen's restraint... She saw through them all, then turned them into her pieces, one by one.

Historical Fiction! The Characters Must Have Brains!!

Are there stories where a modern person transmigrates back to ancient times and uses their profession to make a difference? Like a doctor who transmigrates to the past and advances medicine within the limits of the era, or a modern special forces expert who transmigrates to ancient times and builds an army using modern ideas. Or just invent penicillin or something. From the start, they pull out an AK-47.
