[Farming, hoarding supplies, face-slapping, and exile] In her previous life, Wenren Lingwu gave everything to help her younger brother ascend the throne, killing corrupt officials for him, stabilizing the court, and defending their homeland.
Her parents were framed and killed by the regent, Chu Song. Alone and clad in armor, she fought to defend the city, enduring the condemnation of the entire court just to protect her only brother.
But the younger brother she had protected with all her heart fell in love with the daughter of her enemy, Chu Xuerou.
In the end, she was condemned to die by poison, meeting a tragic end with hatred in her heart.
No one knew that after her death, her soul had wandered through the twenty-first century for a full century. She witnessed women standing on their own and building successful careers, and finally understood: women, too, could ascend the throne and rule the world.
Reborn in an instant, she returned to the first year of her brother’s reign.
In this life, Wenren Ye did not poison her, but he proved even more coldhearted and ruthless.
He stripped away all the martial arts she had spent her life mastering, saddled her with a host of disgraceful accusations, and sentenced her to hard labor in the bitter cold of the far north.
He even deliberately placed enemies all along her route, intending for her to die on the way and never threaten him again.
Her road into exile was full of deadly traps. Everyone believed the former eldest princess was a spoiled fool who was bound to die.
Little did they know that Wenren Lingwu possessed the power to teleport through space. She secretly stockpiled supplies and built up her strength along the way, growing ever more formidable.
She pretended to be foolish and overbearing, while secretly using modern knowledge and superb medical skills to heal and strengthen herself. With her wits, she overcame disasters and man-made calamities along the way, turning desperate situations around and thriving against all odds.
In her previous life, she protected her brother and secured his reign. In this life, she casts him aside and schemes to claim the throne herself.
The three handsome men in her household had all favored the hypocritical white lotus Chu Xuerou in her previous life.
Chu Xuerou was even more devious: she repeatedly drugged and framed Wenren Lingwu to ruin her chastity and reputation.
