#The Tyrant and His Sweetheart#
In her previous life, Ban Qianyu was disfigured by her elder sister, who also stole her chance to enter the palace as a concubine and forced her to marry Xie Congqing, heir to the Marquis of Dingyuan.
While Ban Qianyu trod carefully in the Xie household, her elder sister was made a consort, and the Ban family basked in glory.
Three years later, the emperor died suddenly, and Ban Qianyu was made to die in her sister's place as a sacrificial offering.
Only as she lay dying did Ban Qianyu understand: her elder sister was Xie Congqing's unattainable first love, while she, Ban Qianyu, was nothing but a defective stand-in.
When Ban Qianyu was reborn, she remembered everything that had happened.
To hell with being a stand-in!
This woman's done putting up with it!
Xie Congqing is always having the same dream. A young woman smiles sweetly, but he can only ever see half her face. He assumes she's the Ban family's legitimate daughter, until he meets the family's second young lady, returning to the capital from an old estate.
His dead heart pounds like mad!
Li Xu was lonely and destitute as a child, but once received a meal from someone who showed him kindness.
When they meet again, he is the Son of Heaven, and she is a palace candidate.
He promises the young woman one wish.
From then on, Mingyi Palace gains a new cleaning maid.
One day, the emperor passes Mingyi Palace. The red maples carpeting the ground irritate him, but not seeing them irritates him even more.
The next day, the little palace maid Ban is promoted to tea-serving attendant in Zichen Hall.
Years later, when his most trusted ministers wail in the court and invoke the imperial ancestral rules, none of it can stop the daughter of a convicted traitor, Ban Qianyu, from moving into Mingyi Palace. The stunning Empress Ban smiles faintly.
Nothing more to it than her beauty.
A reborn young lady, so beautiful and vengeful that she has no friends, X a vicious, tyrannical tsundere mad dog who turns into a loyal puppy, young wolf and dog
