When Jiang Leling was fifteen, her stepmother deceived and manipulated her into marrying Prince Jin. She loved him wholeheartedly, giving everything to help him win the succession and staying by his side from the time she was Princess Jin to the day she became Crown Princess. Just as the throne seemed within her grasp, the man who had always been gentle and considerate claimed that her fate clashed with the nation's fortune, and used the greater good to force her to leap into the sacrificial furnace and offer herself to Heaven.
As she lay dying, her younger sister came to her with a smile. "Rest easy, Sister. After you die, I'll become the mother of the nation. I'll take good care of our parents, too."
Reborn, she returned to the year she was thirteen, before it had all begun! So she gave them a taste of their own medicine, making her stepmother and stepsister suffer the consequences of their own actions, and leaving her negligent father to regret it for the rest of his life.
Prince Jin? The Crown Prince? The Emperor?
Scumbags, don't even think about it!
For three years away from the capital, she carefully planned every step and made arrangements at every turn.
When she returned, every move the imperial family made was already part of her plan. All she had to do was sit back and let others fight it out, waiting patiently for her revenge.
Only one person became the sole unpredictable variable in her flawless plan.
Prince Yu stood quietly by the window, his voice full of amusement.
"I've had my eye on you."
Later, the man who had once cared nothing for politics leaned close to her.
"You want to be Empress? That's easy. Only the best is good enough for you."
