Reborn, the White Moonlight Turns Dark

Synopsis

Everyone says Xie Sian was Emperor Daowu's moonlight, and that he went mad with grief after she died. Even a lowly slave who resembled her by seventy percent could become an imperial consort.

But only before she died did Xie Sian learn that the slave was the emperor's true moonlight. She was merely plain rice meant to hide the cinnabar mole.

For ten years, Xie Sian's vengeful ghost floated above the Hall of Great Governance, watching Emperor Daowu commit one evil deed after another and the slave run rampant through the imperial harem.

The most shameless part was that they even did it in her name.

At last, one day, her resentment broke free of its constraints, and she was reborn on the day she was crowned empress.

Reborn, Xie Sian takes on the worst of men, kills the enemies she hates most, traverses the farthest reaches of the land, and loves the most dashing man.

In this life, what matters most is living freely, repaying kindness and vengeance, and staying true to yourself.

The point of this story: The heroine was a saintly white lotus for ten years in her previous life, then turned dark after spending ten years as a ghost. She was so foolish even she couldn't stand herself. In this life, she focuses on palace intrigue and seizing power, repaying every grudge and every grievance.

About the male lead: The emperor is not the male lead. Anyone who treats him as one is giving him far too much credit.

About being reborn: Two characters are reborn. The emperor doesn't deserve to be.

Golden finger throughout: The heroine has the ultimate rebirth cheat. There's no logic or explanation!

The main story ends with a one-on-one pairing. Please don't ask about the early part.

Please add my upcoming story to your reading list~ Transmigrating Into a Tragic Romance, Surrendering to the Male Lead

Heroine's version:

Transmigrating into the heroine of a tragic romance isn't scary. What's scary is not having the original heroine's excellent physical and mental resilience.

Qin Xiao was afraid she wouldn't live long enough to see the sun break through the clouds, and that the jerk of a male lead would torture her to death first. To save her own life, she resolved to do everything perfectly, so the male lead wouldn't find any excuse to torment her!

When the male lead was thirsty, she brought him tea. When he was hungry, she cooked for him. When there was a pea under his mattress, she would even dismantle the bed in the middle of the night to find it!

Three years later, Qin Xiao had finally saved enough money to buy her freedom. She slipped away and opened the most famous restaurant in the capital.

Male lead's version:

There's a young cook named Qin Xiao by Shen Yanyu's side. Every day, she makes all kinds of delicious food and humbly brings it to him. "Young master, please, just try a little."

Moved by the cook's heartfelt devotion, he always reluctantly ate a few bites.

Three years later, the cook turned her back on him, exchanged all the gold and jewelry he'd given her for banknotes, and slapped them down in front of him.

Using the money to buy her freedom was perfectly reasonable.

She was only a cook, after all, so he readily agreed.

But from that day on, Shen Yanyu could barely eat.

A tragic romance somehow turns into a sweet story about domestic bliss in the kitchen.
