“Do you really think you’re Minghua’s substitute?”
Zhao Chengyu laughed cruelly.
“Being able to replace her is what makes you a substitute.”
“Xie Lingyi, you’re not even worthy of being her substitute.”
In her previous life, Xie Lingyi secured provisions for Zhao Chengyu, helped him seize power, and eliminated his rivals. With her own hands, she sent the crown prince, who trusted her most, into a deadly trap.
For twelve years, she raised an ignored prince to the imperial throne.
On the eve of his coronation, he announced that he would marry her elder half-sister, Xie Minghua.
Her sister put on the phoenix crown Xie Lingyi had risked her life to obtain, then cut her throat with her own hands.
When she opened her eyes again, Xie Lingyi was fifteen once more.
This time, she would no longer be the second young lady of the Xie family, at everyone’s mercy.
Her hypocritical sister, her faithless fiancé, her greedy stepmother, her cold-blooded father…
Not one of them would get away.
Hadn’t they always called her wicked and jealous, and said she could never measure up to the gentle, kind Xie Minghua?
Then she would show them just how wicked she could be.
She would collect every debt, with interest.
Anyone who stood in her way, she would destroy with her own hands.
Anyone who tried to climb to the heavens on her back, she would drag down from the clouds.
But why wouldn’t the crown prince she had killed in her previous life leave her alone?
He took her bloodstained hand and told her:
“I will give you everything I have.”
And the man who had once said she wasn’t even worthy of being a substitute finally begged her, eyes red, to turn back.
Xie Lingyi only found it ridiculous. Ha. Men.
Sister, go ahead and keep pretending to be kind in this life.
As for infamy, power, the realm, and wealth…
I! Want! It all!
