[Blurb]
Years ago, Wen Mian was framed by a scheming white lotus from her own team and became the target of the entire internet. She spent years languishing at the bottom of the industry.
Even after CEO Xie Shu helped her reach the pinnacle of the acting world as a renowned actress, people still lamented:
"Wen Mian has beauty, talent, and connections. If only she'd met better people, she might have become a legend in the industry."
Wen Mian had no comment on what outsiders thought.
Who could have guessed that, at a film festival after her husband, the CEO, had passed away, an accident would send her back ten years?
At this point, the white lotus who had framed her hadn't made her move yet, and Wen Mian was still the girl-group visual whose beauty had made her famous.
She smiled at the pitiful green tea and the scumbag. "You probably won't believe me, but in my last life, I saw both your ashes."

One morning, Cheng Wan, an overworked 996 office worker, woke up in the Qing imperial harem as a low-ranking consort who had just given birth.
The good news: the baby boy she'd given birth to survived, so she became a mother without any pain.
The bad news: the boy was born with a leg ailment. The emperor rejected him, and she, his mother, lost favor as well.
It turned out she had become Dai Jia, the future Consort Cheng, who had spent her whole life as a low-ranking consort and was only promoted because of her age near the end of the Kangxi Emperor's reign.
Her son was the pitiful Seventh Prince, a nobody in the struggle among the Nine Princes for the throne.
Thinking of this, Cheng Wan hid under the covers and laughed into her hand.
Being Consort Cheng was great. She wouldn't have to fight for power in the harem, and she'd avoid the succession struggle among the Nine Princes near the end of Kangxi's reign.
Historically, the original Dai Jia had not only outlived Kangxi, but lived to nearly eighty.
As long as she stayed healthy, she had a long, happy life ahead of her!
·
After giving birth to the Seventh Prince, the neglected Consort Dai Jia moved into the remote western quarters and began a life of unending seclusion.
But behind closed doors, Cheng Wan kept busy, embarking on her own laid-back journey to wellness:
Growing vegetables, doing crafts, going to bed early and waking up early, exercising, and playing with the little one.
She'd even gotten the leisurely life of living alone she'd dreamed of during her 996 days ahead of schedule.
A few months later, when Dai Jia appeared again, she had rosy lips and pearly teeth, looked full of vitality, and seemed even more beautiful than before.
The other consorts: Wait, life in the cold palace is that good?
·
Cheng Wan had planned to live long enough to reach the next dynasty, but gradually began to notice some changes.
Her little inventions helped her get close to Imperial Noble Consort Tong.
Her dear son somehow ended up hanging around the Fourth Prince.
And then the Kangxi Emperor came to talk to her, too.
One day, Consort Cheng, promoted twenty years ahead of schedule, fell into deep thought: Something about this plot doesn't seem right.
Theme: Pursue a better life
Co-author: My uncle-in-law is the biggest enemy
It's really worth having!
When talking about why she still had Yue Xiang, Yue Yiran hesitated to speak. The following article should imply that Yue Xiang was not her child.
Why didn't you explain why my sister became my aunt's daughter?
