++In her previous life, she failed to recognize the person right before her and was deceived and used.
++The Consort's power is on the rise, her father is on his deathbed, her mother has suffered endless humiliation, and her younger brother, the Crown Prince, has been deposed and exiled to the southern frontier. As the legitimate princess of the realm, she is abused and humiliated, tormented beyond endurance! And in the end, they even force her to marry a lecherous barbarian prince to secure peace?!
++Jiang Jing once lived a life of privilege, pampered and treasured. Who could have known that overnight, her fate would fall into the hands of her enemies? Her dead husband held the sword himself, and she died full of hatred, unable to rest in peace!
++Fortunately, Heaven has not forsaken her. She has lived again, and none of it has happened yet.
++She is back, and she swears a deadly oath: she will avenge the blood feud!
++She will avenge herself. She will seize control of the realm. She will change her own fate!
++The Xie family of the capital is a renowned clan of officials. The Xie family's legitimate son, Marquis Linyuan Xie Yan, is a prodigy of rare talent. Jiang Jing wants to use him, but the young man sees right through her scheme at a glance. "What, you want a share of the realm too?"
++She replies, "And what if I do?"
++He sneers. "You overestimate yourself."
++But Jiang Jing isn't angered. She only smiles faintly. "If you don't believe me, just wait and see. If I win, you can take your own head as an apology."
++"Fine. You're vicious, all right. What if you lose?"
++Years later, whenever Xie Yan stopped beneath that pear blossom tree, he would remember that day. The young woman had listened to him, his reflection in her eyes, her tone leaving no room for doubt.
++She said, "I won't lose."
P.S.
1. This is an alternate history written according to my own ideas. If there are parts that seem truly unreasonable, please don't criticize me for them. I'm open to suggestions, but don't force your ideas on me. I'm not writing a historical record, so don't compare my story with history.
2. The beginning might be boring, but if you can stick with it, I won't disappoint you (;???Д??`).
3. This is entirely original. The updates are irregular because I usually write during holidays and have to go to school during the regular term.
4. Criticism, suggestions, and all kinds of likes and dislikes are welcome, but please don't impose your own perspective on my characters.
