The Daily Life of Raising Children in Exile in Ancient Times

Deng Yun was unrivaled throughout the capital. The royal princes were her underlings, and the noble sons of princes her attendants. She had a brilliant future ahead of her, but after a scheming enemy set her up, she was forced to be reborn and start life over. Newborn Deng Yun opened her eyes, ready to take revenge. Then she looked closely and realized the enemy was her father! Deng Guan dominated the bureaucracy and enjoyed half a lifetime of glory, only to end up dispossessed and exiled. His wife’s family had been killed one after another, and she was so utterly disillusioned that she might abandon him at any moment. Fortunately, Heaven had not shut every door.

This child must have come to repay their kindness. Deng Yun: What are you babbling about? Hurry up and fight your way forward for me! When she was five, Deng Yun pointed at the governor’s official seal. Deng Guan struggled to take the governor’s position and replace him. When she was ten, Deng Yun coveted a famous general’s prized Ferghana horse. Deng Guan racked his brains until he managed to recruit both the general and his horse. When she came of age, Deng Yun set her sights on the best-looking royal grandson. Deng Guan gave it everything he had and finally got the young man to marry into the Deng family. He thought that was enough, until his daughter brazenly declared at his fiftieth birthday banquet, “Dad, why don’t you try a little harder? I still want to be emperor.” Deng Guan was distraught. “Do you hear what you’re saying?!” He looked to his wife, hoping she’d scold their daughter. Zhao Yuzhen, who had transmigrated from a later age, replied calmly, “If Yun’er wants the throne, then give it to her.” Deng Guan: “…” A reborn troublemaker daughter + a transmigrated mother bent on revenge + a common-born father who rises to power. Three remarkable people in one family. Theme: Even in adversity, keep your heart turned toward the light
