Bloodied and Returned: The Homebody's Plot

Sima Wansheng was born with a pearl in her mouth, riding a bolt of lightning that split open her coffin. They called her the "Coffin Girl." Her father, Mo Ran, was indifferent, her concubine stepmother was cruel and scheming, and her eldest sister was jealous.

She watched her words and actions, made concessions, and tried to keep the peace. She never imagined that the reward would be betrayal by her own family. Her fate was to die alongside her unborn child, have a spirit-piercing spike driven through her skull, and be devoured by countless insects.

When she opened her eyes again, consumed by boundless hatred, she swore that those who had harmed her and her mother would pay in blood. She would draw into her arms the lover she had missed in her previous life, help him seize power and the throne, and plan every step with care.

From then on, she would meet soldiers with soldiers and floods with earth...

She would take on her concubine stepmother, punish the scoundrels, and grow medicinal herbs to build her fortune. Her life would flourish. She would help create a wise ruler, and be the woman behind him.

After weathering countless trials, she told him, "I will walk the hard road with you and help win the hearts of the world!" But all he wanted to tell her was, "I ask for no dominion over the world. I only wish for peaceful years, by your side, watching the clouds roll by together!"
