Reborn: Prince Scumbag, You're Out

In her previous life, Shen Qingyan gave her deep love to the wrong man.

As the legitimate daughter of the grand chancellor, she poured the Shen family's military power and connections into supporting the Third Prince, Xiao Heng, in his bid for the throne.

But after he donned the imperial robes, all she received was imprisonment in the Cold Palace and a cup of poison.

Her half-sister, Shen Qingrou, took her place as empress, while the entire Shen family was branded traitors and slaughtered in rivers of blood.

Dying with hatred in her heart, she swore a blood oath in the Cold Palace: if she was ever reborn, she would make them both pay in blood.

Reborn, she returned to the eve of her coming-of-age ceremony, before any of the tragedies had been set in motion.

In this life, her love was dead, and hatred had been reborn.

She coldly rejected the Third Prince's advances, tore off her half-sister's false mask in front of everyone, and plotted at every turn to ruin the scoundrel's path to the throne and keep the Shen family safe.

At the Grand Princess's banquet, she exposed a ploy to fake an injury for sympathy. At court, she severed the princes' sources of support.

Xiao Heng's ambitions crumbled, and he was demoted to commoner and confined at the imperial mausoleum. Shen Qingrou's schemes came to nothing, and she was imprisoned in the family shrine to perform hard labor for the rest of her life.

She cast off the shackles of love and let go of the urge to depend on others.

Shen Qingyan, the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, would not marry an emperor or compete for the throne's consort. She would simply keep her family safe and claim a life of splendor for herself.
