The Grand Princess Has Seen the Light

[The story so far hasn't quite captured the feeling I wanted, so I may take some time to make adjustments. I won't abandon it. If you're concerned, feel free to save it for later. Thank you for your support, and I'm truly sorry. Wishing you a smooth life and happiness every day.]

In her previous life, Zhao Luan, the powerful Grand Princess of Weiyang, died an aggrieved death after drinking a cup of poisoned wine.

The new emperor, Zhao Yong, whom she had supported since childhood, used her to seize the throne. Her beloved, Song She, even personally sent her to hell.

After being reborn, Zhao Luan has a strange dream. In it, Song She is the chosen one of the world, while she is no more than an insignificant sacrificial pawn in his grand imperial ambitions.

Zhao Luan laughs in anger.

If someone is the chosen one, she can simply take that status for herself. Zhao Luan has never failed to get what she wants.

So Zhao Yong falls silent as his imperial sister gradually treats him like he doesn't exist. Song She watches in horror as the power he painstakingly built is slowly devoured.

They watch the proud Grand Princess climb back to the pinnacle of power, step by step, leaving them farther and farther behind.

After dealing with all her enemies, Zhao Luan dusts off her hands and finally turns her gaze to Huo Wusheng.

This taciturn general is someone she has never understood, not from beginning to end.

Why did he turn around and join the opposing side when she tried to recruit him in her previous life, becoming her enemy?

And why, after she died, did he take a sword and kill the new emperor himself, only to die alone in front of her grave?

But as she watches him in this life, Zhao Luan seems to understand.

Could he... be in love with her?

The romance, in a nutshell:

Huo Wusheng: She's so wonderful. I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy.

Zhao Luan: You are, you are, you are. The two of us are a perfect match, enough for an entire street, with a corner to spare!

In short: A man's inferiority complex is his best dowry. [Just kidding]

[Content and warnings: In her previous life, all the scumbag men get their comeuppance and are reduced to ashes. Many characters have one-sided feelings for the heroine, but she only has eyes for the hero, because he deserves it. The heroine is not a good person; she's a maniac who kills people herself. [Important] Later on, expect lots of rivalry over the heroine and plenty of melodrama. Proud and carefree on the surface but a maniac underneath heroine x aloof on the surface but an insecure, loyal puppy underneath hero. That's all.]
