The Beauty Zheng Yuan (Reborn)

My next book will be The Household Rivalry Training Room, followed by Becoming the Big Boss's Older Sister. Please add them to your to-read lists! Thanks, my lovely readers!

Blurb:

The Zheng family had a daughter named Zheng Yuan, whose beauty was so extraordinary that everyone who saw her marveled at her incomparable looks. But after her stepmother and half-sister framed her and ruined her reputation, she became known throughout Luocheng as a beautiful fool.

At eighteen, her father was falsely accused of treason and the General's Mansion fell. Zheng Yuan was reduced to a lowly status, and in the end, she hanged herself.

When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to four years earlier, before any of the tragedies had happened. Zheng Yuan gritted her teeth. Since she had been reborn, she would never let history repeat itself.

Her stepmother was ruthless and her half-sister a hypocrite, so she would tear off their beautiful masks.

Most importantly, she had to find a way to protect her father's reputation.

But she couldn't do it alone. She needed a suitable ally. The young Lord Xie of Prince Kang Zhao's Mansion, a supporter of the emperor in her previous life, seemed like a good choice.

Zheng Yuan: Young Lord Xie, what do you think of me?

Xie Xuan raised his eyes. Not much.

Soft yet stubborn heroine X sharp-tongued, ruthless hero

Please check out the blurb for my upcoming story, The Household Rivalry Training Class:

Xue Jingshu was a master of household rivalry in her previous life. With her cleverness and wit, she rose from an unfavored concubine-born daughter to the pinnacle of life.

Just as she was about to enjoy her life as a master, she accidentally choked to death on a date pit. In the blink of an eye, she was back at sixteen, still an unfavored daughter.

Looking at the young ladies, young masters, maids, and matrons around her, all trying to sabotage one another with various schemes, Xue Jingshu pursed her lips. None of you can hold a candle to me.

But she was tired of these tricks. Why not... open a household rivalry training room and teach others how to fight for power within the family?

Her students grew in number, from unfavored daughters of officials to princesses and even imperial consorts and empress dowagers...

Later...

The pampered princess said, "Jingshu is my teacher. You'd better show her some respect."

The spoiled and willful eldest princess said, "Jingshu is like a sister to me. Anyone who opposes her is an enemy of mine."

Xue Jingshu once again reached the pinnacle of life and was feeling rather pleased with herself. The cold, rigid crown prince sneered, "She has none of the virtues of a proper woman, yet everyone fawns over her. She's a disgrace to Great Qi."

The Empress Dowager said, "Empress, Jingshu is very much to my liking. Why not find her a good husband?"

The imperial consort who had become empress replied, "Mother is right. I believe Jingshu is kind-hearted, gentle, and virtuous, and fit to be the crown princess."

Crown Prince: What?
