Beauty in a Chaotic Age

Lian Ji Yuwen, whose many admirers were all at her feet, died on the day Qi fell. She was buried alongside her last husband. Some mourned her, while others rejoiced, but in time it would all be buried beneath the dust, fading into the past.

Yuwen Xuan was reborn on the eve of a palace coup. Once again, she was the cautious princess of the former dynasty. She would defy fate and change her destiny, climbing step by step to the very top. She would watch those who once treated her as a plaything prostrate themselves at her feet and bow in submission.

She was more beautiful and clever than others, and had glimpsed an opportunity they had not. She swore never to let fate toy with her again. Given another chance, she would repay every debt and every kindness, and love… Wait!

Why was she not the only one who had been given another chance?
