Guanyin Cliff

Zhao Jinyuan spent half her life playing the role of Ji Yingya's weak, timid, obedient crown princess. Only after being imprisoned in the Frost-Covered Palace and dying with hatred did she learn she had been nothing more than a toy for his amusement. Reborn, she abandoned her biased mother, slapped some sense into her rigid, cowardly father, and killed her good-for-nothing brother, who had sold his sister for status. Those who loved her thrived. Those who hated her met their end. She planned to wait for her frail prince consort, Ji Yingsun, to kick the bucket, then return to her fief and live happily as a widow. Who could have guessed that Ji Yingsun's older brother, her husband in her previous life, would come crawling back to her like a dog? On the sixth day of the sixth month, rain poured down, leaving the Eastern Palace stranded at Prince Wei's residence. Amid the drifting rain, the dog-training woman from the rear courtyard stood drenched in her plain clothes, her figure graceful. Ji Yingya's heart, cold for so long, was stirred in an instant. He hinted to his younger brother that he wanted her. "I've recently acquired a vicious dog, fierce and difficult to tame. I wonder if that maid from the rear courtyard could try her hand at it." But his younger brother only smiled brightly. "Elder Brother, she's the youngest daughter of the Assistant Minister of Works, and your future sister-in-law."
