A Vicious Woman’s Guide to Turning Over a New Leaf

Reborn, she resolved to become virtuous and kind. Unfortunately, she was rotten to the core, so all she could do was put on a beautiful mask. “Xu Jiaolan, how could I ever love a wicked woman like you?” “Jiaolan, how could I have a sister as heartless as you?” “Lan'er, how could you have such a vicious heart?” “Miss, how could you be so cruel?” She, Xu Jiaolan, was the most poisonous woman in the Great Xuan Dynasty. She lost her position as the principal wife after plotting against her aunt, cruelly framed her maternal grandfather’s family as traitors, and even plotted against her dear friend Su Ling'er in a vain attempt to become empress. At last, in the first year of Longqing, she died in a blaze of heavenly fire. Everyone said it was karma. But who knew that she had been ruthless only to help the virtuous Prince ascend the throne? She had forsaken her closest family for him, betrayed her conscience, and stained her hands with blood, only to make another woman’s wedding clothes in the end. Reborn in a new life, she decided to turn over a new leaf and stop being a wicked woman. Her cousin had married a treacherous wolf because of her, hadn’t she? She would find her cousin a suitable husband. Her younger cousin’s career had been held back because of her, hadn’t it? She would groom him into the top scholar. Peilan had died because of her, hadn’t she? She would give her a safe and stable life. And all those other people, she couldn’t remember them all. How had she hurt so many people? No matter, there was plenty of time. She would make it up to them bit by bit. Still, turning over a new leaf didn’t mean Xu Jiaolan planned to be a pushover. She would still take revenge, and no one would be allowed to bully her. Prince Ning wanted to be emperor, didn’t he? She would make sure he couldn’t even remain a commoner. Su Ling'er wanted to be empress, didn’t she? She would grant her wish and marry her off to the old emperor of a foreign people. Hong Xiu liked men, didn’t she? She would send her to a brothel. And those other people, she couldn’t remember them either. It looked like Xu Jiaolan had a long way to go before she could turn over a new leaf. But what was going on with the suddenly appearing Lord Shen? No, Lord Shen was cunning and sly, and cold by nature. He must know all her secrets. To make sure her reform went smoothly, she had to get rid of him. And so, every day without fail, Xu Jiaolan came up with ways to get rid of Lord Shen.
