Fifty Strings

Story blurb:

A traditional palace-intrigue novel.

Three months after her elder half-sister entered the palace as a selected consort,

Zhao Jinse was sent to take part in the palace's junior selection by her concubine-born mother, who refused to stay under the main wife's thumb.

She entered the palace as a maid.

Everyone thought she was timid, incompetent, and easy to manipulate,

and that life in the inner palace would be so difficult she'd be stuck as a maid forever.

What they didn't know was that from her very first day in the palace,

she had set her sights on supreme favor and glory.

If she could become someone who held the power to turn the clouds with one hand and the rain with the other,

who would choose to remain a lowly-born daughter, with no status and no choice but to be manipulated?

Coming soon: The White-Moonlight Heroine Is Reborn

In her previous life, Zhou Wanwan transmigrated into a book and became the heroine of a tragic romance, trapped in a body she couldn't control.

The villainess framed her, her master cast her out of the sect, and the antagonist imprisoned her. Worst of all,

she was forced to sacrifice her divine nature and her life to help the scumbag make a comeback, then watched helplessly as he ascended to godhood, built a harem, and declared that she was his

"white moonlight."

Zhou Wanwan was furious!

Then she opened her eyes again, facing a chorus of accusations and expulsion from the sect.

Zhou Wanwan: What?! I'm reborn!

The senior sister who framed her: You actually harmed your fellow disciple!

Zhou Wanwan: (Draws her sword) I'll even turn against my master and ancestors.

Fellow disciple: Disaster! Zhou Wanwan smashed the sect's signboard!

The master who mistreated her: You lack ambition. I am utterly disappointed in you. Starting today, you are expelled from the sect!

Zhou Wanwan: Fine. I don't want any of my things. I'm leaving.

A year later.

Disciple: Master, this is bad! Zhou Wanwan's cultivation has surpassed yours!

Scumbag: You misunderstood. She and I were only putting on an act.

Zhou Wanwan: I know. I just wanted an excuse to dump you.

Junior brother: This is bad! Senior brother, your fiancee ran off with Zhou Wanwan!

Green-tea girl: The person my brother loves is me. He's unhappy with you, big sister.

Zhou Wanwan: Wishing you a happy marriage and many children.

Righteous cultivator: This is bad... Wait, Zhou Wanwan is marrying the Demon Lord!

Righteous sect member: So you really are colluding with the demonic path!

Someone: Nooo~

Zhou Wanwan: ?

Everyone: Demon! Prepare to die!

Someone (throwing himself into her arms): Sob, sob, wifey~ I'm just a frail scholar. I'm so scared~

Zhou Wanwan: ???

Wait, that never happened in my previous life!

Bonus scene 1:

Scumbag: Hah. After leaving me, you fell for some useless mortal with an ordinary body?

Zhou Wanwan kicks the scumbag away, then turns back to hug, kiss, and comfort the person in question.

Someone: Your senior brother is so mean. I'm not like him. I only know how to dote on you, jie-jie~

Bonus scene 2:

One day, Zhou Wanwan plants her hands on her hips and confronts the person in question: Didn't you say you couldn't do anything, and that you were just a mortal?

Someone: I'm sorry. I just liked you too much, and wanted to stay by your side in disguise. You can hit me or scold me, but please don't send me away~
