[After being drowned in a pond, I became my ex-husband's daughter.]

Qiao was born lowly, but she was charming and alluring. Raised from childhood to behave in a frivolous manner, she had the air of a seductive fox spirit.

After being sent into the palace, she kept her father's advice in mind and aspired to follow the example of the infamous consort of a former dynasty, becoming someone who could topple an empire with nothing but her face.

But just as she managed to touch King Chu's sleeve, he ordered her drowned in a pond.

When she awoke, she had become King Chu's only child, the little princess who had been raised from childhood in an ancient temple deep in the mountains.

Sitting in the carriage on her way back to the palace, Qiao lowered her eyes and smiled faintly.

Seduce those above you and beguile your ruler, with poor morals?

Then I'll be just what you wish,

Father.

A scheming, nation-destroying enchantress x a cold-hearted, hypocritical, darkness-fearing madman of a male lead

Warnings:

1. Everyone in this story is an obsessive, unhinged mess. Don't get your hopes up about any character.

2. They are not related by blood. The male lead is fourteen years older than the female lead. Read with caution if that bothers you.

3. This is a fictional setting, and historical nitpicking is not welcome. The medical knowledge mentioned in the story comes from research, and everything serves the plot.

Theme: Doing what you know cannot be done anyway
