The Cold-Faced Regent’s One and Only, the Black Lotus Princess

In her previous life, Duanmu Yajing, the illegitimate daughter of the Marquis of Jing'an's household, was gentle, foolishly kind, and trusting. She placed her faith in her stepmother and legitimate elder sister, and fell hopelessly in love with Xiao Jingyan, heir to the Duke of Zhenguo. She gave everything to help him rise to power, only to be framed by her elder sister, Duanmu Qingwan, on her wedding night. Accused of “debauching the imperial harem,” she was sent to the Cold Palace by Xiao Jingyan himself, where she ultimately burned to death, dying full of hatred. As she drew her last breath, she swore through her tears of blood that if she ever had another life, she would kill her enemies with her own hands and make them pay in blood!
