Beauty’s Ordeal: The Phoenix Maiden’s Stratagem

She was once a woman of dazzling brilliance, but love blinded her, and she gave her heart to the wrong person. To help him, the second prince, ascend the throne, she fought her way through every obstacle and sacrificed everything. In the end, her own family used her, he abandoned her, and those around her betrayed her. She was left to suffer merciless humiliation and died without even a body to bury. Why, then, had she returned to the day three years earlier when she married the seventh prince of Southern Qin, who had little time left to live? Reborn through fire, she swears to defy fate. In this life, she’ll live for herself alone! Those who hurt, humiliated, and betrayed her will pay for their crimes in blood, one by one! But why is this seventh prince, who was supposed to be dying, getting healthier and healthier, and increasingly… pretending to be weak while hiding his true strength? What, he wants to claim his rights as her husband too?
