(The rebirth plot is fictional, created for literary purposes. Please don't take it as real.) After heroine Zhang Guifen was forced to drink poison, watched her father and brother being taken to the execution grounds, and saw her entire household condemned to death, her soul returned to three days before she turned fifteen. Suppressing her seething hatred and trembling, she realized she had been reborn. The first thing she did was cut ties with every doomed relationship from her previous life.
Just then, her half-sister Zhang Yue'e brought her pastries under false pretenses, secretly slipping in a cold poison to ruin her looks and sabotage her coming-of-age ceremony. Unlike in her previous life, Zhang Guifen didn't shower her with gratitude. She exposed the trick on the spot and quietly turned the tables, making Zhang Yue'e suffer the consequences of her own actions. For the first time, she tore off her half-sister's virtuous, innocent mask in front of everyone in the marquis's household.
With a palace banquet approaching, Fifth Prince Zhao Hongwen was sure to come courting her as he had in her previous life, hoping to win her heart. The heroine made her plans in advance, publicly dodging his deliberate advances and clearly drawing a line in conversation, humiliating Zhao Hongwen and nipping their ill-fated relationship in the bud.
At the banquet, the heroine met Zhou Jianbin, the reborn General Who Guards the North, for the first time. In each other's eyes, they both saw a bitterness and hatred that didn't belong to someone so young. Wary of each other, they tested one another, both suspecting that the other had returned with memories of a previous life, just like them.
Very well written, the human heart is separated from the belly, covering the heart of a snake and a scorpion Okay, the more you look at it, the better it looks.
