[Reborn + palace intrigue + satisfying revenge + strong female lead, both leads have no romantic history]
After she was framed, the entire Wei family was executed. Wei Zhijin became a convict, forced to serve as a maid in the palace laundry and subjected to endless torment.
When her betrothed passed the highest imperial exam, she waited joyfully for the man she loved to come marry her, only to hear him say, "An orphan girl isn't fit to be my principal wife."
She swallowed her pride and accepted the position of concubine, only to die carrying twins amid endless torment and humiliation, becoming a laughingstock.
Reborn, Wei Zhijin chooses the Second Prince as her ally to exact revenge.
They strike a deal, helping each other and each getting what they want.
The Second Prince will investigate the truth behind her father's murder and help her avenge him.
In return, she will advise the Second Prince and help him ascend the throne.
One day, Zhao Yizhi asks her to marry him.
"It's just a convenient arrangement. I have no control over my own life, and I don't want other people using my marriage, too."
Wei Zhijin hesitates, but eventually agrees.
Out of her sight, someone grins like a fox. Once she becomes his wife, there's no way he'll let her escape.
