Reborn, the Delicate Young Lady Becomes the Belle of the Capital

In her previous life, Shen Qingdai trusted her stepmother and father’s kindness, only to end up with her personal maid sold to a brothel, her little brother poisoned to death at a young age, and her concubine mother beaten to death with a rod. When she opens her eyes again, she has returned to a time before her coming-of-age ceremony. From then on, her life has only one purpose: revenge. To that end, she schemes carefully to get close to one powerful, prestigious man after another, using her feigned softness and tenderness, her gentle affection, to make them stepping-stones on her path. But when the men she has once drawn in come calling one by one, Pei Jingzhu, who has always obeyed her every word and been as gentle as jade, feels anger for the first time in his life. He pins the soft, delicate young lady against the gauzy bed curtains and laughs in fury. “Just how many men have you loved?” Never leaving the green hills, we’ll stay together always. Shen Qingdai has always thought her clever methods let her toy with Pei Jingzhu in the palm of her hand. She never imagined that he willingly let her use him, becoming the sharpest, most steadfast blade in her hands.
