I Don't Want to Be a Whetstone, So I'm Giving Up

Jiang Yisi has two secrets she cannot reveal.

First: she is actually a woman disguised as a man.

Second: she has lived three times.

In her first life, she was treated as a tool in the struggle for power from birth. Her own parents used her as a whetstone for her younger brother, the crown prince, but in the end, her identity was exposed and she met a tragic fate.

In her second life, she became an exemplary young woman in a twenty-first-century only-child family, healed by her loving parents. But after a car accident while saving someone, she was reborn once again.

In her third life, determined to quickly achieve the fate of dying after her identity was exposed, Jiang Yisi started slacking off.

But could someone explain why, after slacking off, she became the emperor's most beloved child, the crown prince's most reliable older brother, and the Prince of Power, The Outcast, second only to the emperor and above all others after the crown prince ascended the throne? Why was she entrusted with the crown prince's care when her cheap younger brother fell seriously ill, and why did she become the first empress in the history of the Qi Kingdom?
