A Reborn Villainess's Guide to Raising a Black Lotus

In her previous life, the entire Xu family was wiped out. Xu Wan was lucky enough to escape, but the heir to the Marquis of Guangping took a fancy to her and forced her to become his concubine. The heir was a womanizer, though, and before long he had grown tired of Xu Wan and abandoned her in a side courtyard.

Just as she thought she would spend the rest of her life alone, Crown Prince Su Boyu came to visit the Eastern Palace. He took one look at her and wanted her for himself, so he asked Mu Yunqian to hand Xu Wan over.

Xu Wan thought she had found a good man at last, but she soon learned that men were all cut from the same cloth. Once Su Boyu had had his fill, he naturally cast her aside in the harem, where she endured the other women’s contempt until she died with bitterness in her heart.

But Heaven could not bear to let Xu Wan’s life end in such misery. It let her be reborn on the very day she had first caught his eye, giving her a chance to start over!

In this new life, Xu Wan resolved never again to be a lamb at the mercy of others!
