Sleeping Amid Splendor

On the day her husband passed the imperial examinations and earned the title of top scholar, she died at the eldest princess’s residence. She was powerless and came from a family of merchants. When she opened her eyes again, she had become Pei Shu, the legitimate daughter of the infamous General Pei’s household in the capital. Fat, clumsy, foolish, and uneducated, she was obsessed with a prince and notorious for flouting convention. In her previous life, she was kind and gentle, yet met a tragic end. In this life, since she already has a terrible reputation, she might as well play the villain. Reborn, she will repay every blood debt in full. Even if that means pretending to get along with the powerful Eunuch of Nine Thousand Years, she is willing. On the brocade bed, Pei Shu asks only for justice: “My lord, please be kind to me.”
