She lazily fiddled with the cold mist, looking at the withered summer flowers outside the window—like looking at the clansmen who had once trampled her into the mud. When the crimson cloak was brought in, the maid didn't notice the fleeting cold smile on her lips: this auspicious robe, symbolizing "purple aura coming from the east," was clearly prepared by her elder sister for the Crown Princess. After entering the palace, everyone said Song Zhao was a delicate flower dependent on the Empress Dowager. But they didn't know that she had crushed contraceptive medicine in the middle of the night, allowing the "sickly" concubine's poisoned hairpin to be inserted into her elder sister's lower abdomen; nor did they know that the rouge she personally concocted was driving the Empress increasingly insane. When the emperor grabbed her by the neck and questioned her on the bed, her nail-studded fingers touched his heart: "Your Majesty, do you know that the ginseng soup you've been drinking for three years... Contains a Gu worm from the northern frontier?" This bloody power struggle, which began in the inner chambers of the house, will ultimately end with the Phoenix Seal. **(The End)** [Highlights] △ Foreshadowing: The "unusual gift of ice" at the beginning foreshadows family infighting △ Character subversion: A seemingly delicate flower is actually a master of both poison and medicine △ High-energy plot twist: Every reward is a deadly weapon △ Elevated power struggle: A leap from domestic intrigue to palace intrigue

Reborn back to school, she immediately activates the "seemingly soft and cute academic failure, actually an all-around genius" mode—one second she's helping the school heartthrob deliver a love letter, the next she's pinning the bullies in front of the auditorium screen, playing solid evidence of their plagiarism of her paper; during the day she pretends not to understand math problems in class, at night she hacks into the database of a wealthy family, exposing the entire background of the ruthless CEO who caused her tragic death in her previous life… 🔪 Warning: High-level satisfying moments: ✅ The pinnacle of pretending to be a weakling: - Campus situation: The bullies thought she was easy to manipulate, but she smiled and offered them "friendship milk tea" (actually with ingredients that would make green tea allergic), then turned around and used her competition gold medal to shatter the rumors! - **Wealthy Family Romance:** A ruthless CEO tries to use her as a pawn, but she turns his business trap into a "campus practice assignment," prompting a professor to call her overnight, begging to take her on as a student… ✅ **Rebirth and Counterattack:** Slandered and betrayed in her past life, she turns her "revenge script" into a "scumbag-abusing tutorial" in this life— - **Tearing Apart the White Lotus:** Publicly exposing her plagiarism of her design drafts, and incidentally projecting her ambiguous chat history with the school heartthrob onto the school's big screen; - **Building a Business:** By day, she's a top student dominating her grade; by night, she's a hacker infiltrating the villain's company, sending their shady accounts directly to the tax bureau… ✅ **Dual Romance: Wealthy Family x Campus:** On one hand, she plays the rookie on campus, gaining favor (the school heartthrob/top student/bully vie to be her protector); on the other hand, she lays the groundwork for a counterattack in the wealthy family (the ruthless CEO gradually discovers: how come this "underachiever" understands capital games better than him?!). When the school dance meets a business dinner, she makes her entrance in a matching haute couture gown, arm in arm with the school heartthrob, handing the CEO a bankruptcy notice with her right—"The game's over, time to settle the accounts." A 9.4-rated masterpiece with 370,000 followers, it's captivating from beginning to end! Complete and available for binge-reading.

    The princess, fierce and beautiful, was constantly subjected to the insubordination of her shadow guards. A sharp, scathing pain, like a ferret's scratch, pierced her neck. Chu Qinghuang suddenly opened her eyes and with a single blow, threw the young man beside her bed to the ground! "Your Highness!" The young man groaned as he landed on the blue bricks, but before the palace doors could even finish, they were flung open. A dozen or so guards with swords escorted a man in white brocade robes as he stormed in. The handsome man looked at Chu Qinghuang on the bed and the young man in black on the floor, a flash of disgust crossing his eyes, followed by a furious rage as if he'd caught them in adultery: "What are you doing?" Chu Qinghuang sat upright on the edge of the bed, her still-fierce eyes sweeping over the room's extravagance—phoenix lanterns hung among the carved beams and painted rafters, the cloud-patterned curtains were blindingly ornate; this was far from her usual simple and elegant bedchamber. The young man in black on the floor struggled to his feet, the red marks from her blows still visible on his neck, yet he still stubbornly gazed at her, his eyes filled with an indescribable emotion. Who was he? Why was he at her bedside in the dead of night? Could that strange pain in her neck be related to him? The white-robed man's angry rebukes continued, but Chu Qinghuang only stared at the black-clad youth—this shadow guard-like boy dared to sneak into her bedchamber every night; was it provocation, or something else? This drama of "insubordination" had only just begun…
