Stockpiling chapters~ I'll post once I've saved up enough ^_^
The legitimate daughter of a military family, blessed by heaven, and peerlessly beautiful.
Madly in love with the Crown Prince, she hid her martial arts skills and kept her sharp edges concealed.
She studied music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and learned to be a charming companion.
In everyone's eyes, she became Miss Chen, the capital's peerless beauty, delicate as jade and lovely as a flower.
Yet on the very day she was to marry the Crown Prince, a letter accusing her family of treason condemned the General's Manor for conspiring with the enemy and betraying the country.
And the man she was supposed to marry personally sent her entire family to the executioner's block.
Reborn, she returned to the days before she had made herself weak and delicate for that bastard.
Chen Chuzhao finally understood. This life, she would live for herself. She would no longer hide her talents or suffer in silence. She would repay every grudge and right every wrong.
She takes on wicked women, kills vicious shrews, and destroys scumbags.
In this life, Chen Chuzhao protects herself and her family well.
But whenever she stops acting "delicate and lovable," she just happens to run into the noble, carefree heir, who leans against a wall and smiles at her. "The General's Manor's demure, gentle young lady, Miss Chen, delicate as jade and lovely as a flower? Tsk, tsk. What an act!"
Chen Chuzhao: "..."
When they first met, he sneered, "Miss Chen is so different inside and out, and so ruthless. I'm afraid no one in the capital would dare marry you. Blessed by heaven? Hmph, more like a jinx."
Later, he said proudly, "Chen Chuzhao, you shine like spring blossoms, yet you're full of schemes. You truly live up to your title as the capital's peerless beauty. But I have influence everywhere, and I'm a little better than you. Besides, I have high standards. Don't think you can cling to me just because I saved you."
Finally, clad in armor, he pinned her against the city wall and kissed her in front of countless soldiers and horses. With a bold, carefree smile, he said, "A Zhao, you want to be empress? Come on, call me husband. Even this whole world, I can bring it to you with a wave of my hand."
At the end of her patience, Chen Chuzhao smiled faintly. "Sorry, Your Highness. I'm a jinx, and making husbands suffer is my specialty."
