Lin Qiuman transmigrated.
She became a divorced woman from ancient times who had just thrown herself into a lake.
Her ex-husband was the son of a prestigious family, yet he took a courtesan as a concubine and had a child with her. The original owner was cast aside, her reputation ruined.
A rotten hand from the start.
Lin Qiuman wielded her brush like a blade. Her brilliantly written Letter of Repentance from a Discarded Wife caused a sensation across the city.
Her ex-husband was forced to seek reconciliation.
Lin Qiuman refused and took him to court. With her silver tongue, she turned the divorce into a mutual separation and ruined her ex-husband's reputation.
She made a name for herself with that one battle!
Whenever anyone in the capital mentioned the Lin family's second daughter, they were sure to heap insults and scorn on her.
Unable to stay in the Lin household, Lin Qiuman moved out, set up on her own, and returned to her old line of work: handling divorce cases for women.
The noble daughters of great houses treated her as a joke and waited to see her meet a miserable end.
Who could have guessed that Lin Qiuman would make them eat their words, using her devastating beauty to get away with anything as she surged ahead, even winning the support of Prince Jin.
From then on, she rode on his coattails and became more arrogant than ever!
Everyone knew that Prince Jin, Li Xun, was as graceful as rosy clouds and moonlight, as pure as jade and steadfast as a pine.
People said he was learned enough to govern the nation and mighty enough to bring peace to the realm, his noble character like the bright full moon.
The daughters of distinguished families fought tooth and nail for a chance to marry into Prince Jin's household.
Who could have guessed that this lofty male idol would be dragged from his pedestal by a shameless, muddy little rogue? The noble ladies were shocked and outraged, unable to understand it. They all said Prince Jin must be blind to have fallen for such a flirt.

Little Scene:
The man pinched her delicate chin, almost grinding his teeth as he said, "Aren't you just taking advantage of the fact that I like you?"
Lin Qiuman smiled with carefree delight and placed her slender hand over his heart. "It takes real skill to earn Your Highness's affection, you know."
Matched opponents, evenly matched.
She took advantage of his affection to do whatever she pleased, and he simply couldn't get enough of her. He might as well marry her and keep her locked up at home.
