Reborn: It's Either Black or White

Shu Ning, the legitimate daughter of the military Shu family, mistook her enemy for her benefactor in her previous life. On the eve of her coronation as empress, the Shu family lay dead in heaps, its entire clan slaughtered. She herself died beneath the sword of Shu Rou, the adopted daughter of her second uncle. Reborn, she chose to obey the emperor’s decree and marry the crown prince, Jiang Chen. Using her status as crown princess, she would bring down Jiang Jin and his mother, Noble Consort Jiade, and avenge her family. Shu Ning was a formidable martial artist. After becoming crown princess, she pretended to be a sickly lady who wore a veil every day in the palace. Meanwhile, the crown prince Jiang Chen, loathed by the emperor since childhood and raised at an outlying residence beyond the palace, returned to the Eastern Palace and always claimed that his face was hideously deformed, wearing a mask all day. Outside the palace, Shu Ning went by the alias Ning Tang as she gathered intelligence and plotted her moves. Little did she know that Jiang Duo, the foremost of the capital’s four great beauties and the dream lover of countless young women, was said by everyone to be a flirt who drifted from one beauty to the next. Yet ever since the crown prince’s wedding, he had been visiting the Zuixian Tower far less often. Jiang Duo and Ning Tang were playing chess in a private room at the Zuixian Tower. His lips curled slightly as he asked in a calm voice: “Madam, who shall we kill next?”
