[Reborn heroine who gradually grows, not especially clever] [Beautiful, vicious, and slow-witted young lady as the female supporting character] [A crowd of men compete and vie for her, but can only be pushed aside] [The martial world and the imperial court]
Have you ever heard of a vicious female supporting character?
Qi Nian was the wicked empress of a kingdom. She ruled for five years, committed every evil deed, and wasn't very clever. She brought ruin to both the kingdom and its people, until her enemies led an army to breach the imperial city, shot her through the heart with an arrow, and sent her tumbling from the city wall...
Only then did she learn she was nothing more than a minor supporting character.
The heroine was her half-sister, and the hero was the prince she had taken in. The two of them trod on her bones to make their names and establish their power, founding a golden age and enjoying boundless glory!
Perhaps Heaven had finally come to its senses.
Qi Nian was reborn. She was still in Jiangnan recovering from an illness. She hadn't seduced the Crown Prince, ruined her reputation, altered the imperial edict, or become the wicked empress.
Even more amusing, the heroine had only just transmigrated, while the hero was still a beggar in some far-flung corner.
How convenient. Qi Nian had been petty and vindictive since childhood.
And so...
The heroine ran into misfortune at every turn. In business, the imperial court, the martial world, medicine, and poison, Qi Nian stuck her nose in everywhere.
And the hero? A beggar was fit only to be a slave.
Reborn for a second life, Qi Nian was vicious and arrogant by nature. Yet she had the stunning beauty of a celestial maiden, and captivated one extraordinary big shot after another, demons, ghosts, and strange creatures alike.
She grew step by step.
She had no desire to get involved in ruling the realm, but in a chaotic age, countless people insisted on placing it in her hands...
