She Kicked Her Enemy Dumb and Climbed to the Top

[A revenge-and-career story. The heroine is focused on getting ahead; love can be faked, but wealth and power must be hers.] Yuan Shuang, born a servant girl, has always been cautious. Just after becoming Shen Yu’s favored concubine, she is driven to the brink of death by his wife, Lu Lingluo. As she takes her own life, Yuan Shuang is calm. She knows her death will make Shen Yu avenge her, but regrets that she cannot avenge her own murder with her own hands. Only after dying does she learn that she and the Lu family also have a blood feud: they wiped out her entire family. Consumed by resentment and fury, Yuan Shuang returns to the age of fourteen, when her possibilities are endless. Not only that, she is fortunate enough to learn the peerless art known as the Primordial Essence Skill, also called the Star-Absorbing Method. It allows her to temporarily absorb other people’s inner strength and use it as her own. With this skill, she escapes the Lu household, protects herself, takes on stronger opponents, and steadily builds her fortune. As she accumulates wealth, she never forgets revenge, taking from her enemies one by one the things they cherish most. And the martial world is vast. There is plenty to do beyond revenge. Amid countless entanglements of sincerity and scheming, Yuan Shuang climbs higher and higher, step by step reaching the summit.
