Synopsis

Shen Wanning has been raised in the deep residence of Shen Mansion since she can remember, and grew up with her half-brother, Shen Huaijin, the chief minister of the cabinet. He was always distant and harsh to her in the name of his brother, just because he believed that she was his father's illegitimate daughter who was hiding in the house, a stain that tarnished the lintel of the family.

It wasn't until the edict that framed Zhongliang fell that the truth about the Jiangmenmen massacre was revealed: she was not a bloodline of the Shen family, but an orphan of the Jiangmen family. Her father was executed in the city for treason by the foolish emperor Luo Zhi, and her mother entrusted her as an infant to Shen Shangshu in exchange for her being alive in the world.

All the warmth of the past was shattered. Shen Wanning hid all her hatred and stepped into the maelstrom of power and intrigue in the capital as the orphan girl of a guilty minister.

She met Xie Qingyan, the gentle and gentle prince, and found a moment of solace in his eyes. She also used his clear pen to write the first page of the redress of the unjust case;

She made a deal with Pei Yi, the scheming master of the Dark Pavilion, and exchanged her intelligence for his secret service, and laid a net of revenge in the imperial city in the middle of the night;

She was held in the palm of the hand by Jiang Mubai, the sunny and cheerful son of an imperial businessman, who used his unparalleled wealth to pave the ladder to power;

The always silent secret guard Qin Xuan beside her uses his life as a shield to block all hidden arrows from her sight, and his love is hidden in every silent guard;

She even formed an alliance with the forbearing prince Ji Zhaoheng. In the quagmire of imperial power, they became each other's sharp swords and jointly avenged the blood debt of the fatuous emperor.

And Shen Huaijin, who once regarded her as a "wailing girl", changed from the initial suspicion and guarding to the most paranoid guard after learning her true life experience.

Are There Really No High-Quality Women’s Fiction Books Anymore?

Looking for books similar to "Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty of a Villainous Cannon Fodder". I’m so frustrated. Some quick-transmigration authors really don’t understand what quick transmigration means, and drag a single arc out for a hundred chapters. I hope someone can recommend some fast-paced, high-quality stories with no romance. No number one...

High-Quality Historical Romance Novels!!!

Something like "The Guide to Capturing a Black Lotus", "Attack Jade", or "How Is This Proper"? The author's writing has to be good, and the plot needs plenty of twists and turns. Key point: lots of reversals.
