Without a miserable past life, how could there be a powerful reborn heroine?
Without a legitimate mother and elder sister exploiting and oppressing her, how could a good-for-nothing make a stunning comeback?
Without a faithless scumbag, how could a devoted man come calling?
This is an era when it's hard to be a concubine-born daughter, with household, palace, and romantic schemes everywhere... Isn't this exhausting!?
Given a second life, if you don't want people scheming against you, then you have to scheme against them. Playing mind games? Smack them away! Still playing mind games? Kick them away! Trying again? Fine, I was playing mind games before you were even born!
An ugly man is a tragedy, while a handsome man is a calamity! I don't want a tragedy, I only want a calamity! But this man is just too damn much of a calamity!!!

Excerpt Three: She was livid. "You knew there was a tiger on the mountain, and you still went straight into its lair?!"
He pulled her into his arms, his voice seductive. "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how will you get its cub?"
