[Hot-tempered Reborn Woman vs. Slow-Moving, Scheming Prince]
Shen Guiwu is a modern person who transmigrated to the Great Jing dynasty. All she wants is to escape back to the modern world.
She has been reborn ninety-nine times, failing ninety-eight. Each time, she wakes up in a randomly assigned identity.
In her ninety-eighth life, she was an assassin, skilled at killing. Armed with a map she'd made herself, she broke into the imperial mausoleum, but couldn't save her own life.
In her ninety-seventh life, she was a healer. She easily concocted more than a dozen poisons and antidotes, but on the way to the imperial mausoleum, she was burned to death alongside refugees infected with the plague.
In her thirty-second life, she was a palace maid. She knew about the secret passage into the imperial mausoleum and began planning her return to the modern world, but was silenced after overhearing the Crown Prince's secret embezzlement of tax revenue.
Every time was like opening a mystery box.
She was tired of it!
In this life, she has returned to the identity she had in her first life: the legitimate daughter of the Shen family and the ideal candidate to become the future empress.
She slaps her half-sister, who tried to drug her; tears into her biased, trashy father; and takes down the princes fighting for the throne.
She thinks victory is assured.
Until that man appears.
Xie Linyuan, the Seventh Prince, also known as Prince Yongan, is someone she never met in any of her previous ninety-eight lives.
With a spirit bird in tow, he strolls unhurriedly into her life and throws all her plans into disarray.
An imperial decree binds the two together, and their married life begins, full of daily bickering.
Her half-sister comes to poison her. The heroine sees through it at once, while the hero secretly destroys her maternal family's entire clan.
The Crown Prince sends assassins. The heroine fights back with her sword, while the hero puts the assassins' heads on display and seizes their treasury.
Shen Guiwu: "The prince usually speaks so slowly, but you're pretty quick when it comes to revenge."
Xie Linyuan: "Not at all. I'm nowhere near as quick as you, Princess Consort."
Theme: Love means letting someone flourish, not keeping them in a cage. Cherish the present.
