Reborn as the Daughter of a Treacherous Minister

Three years ago, Cheng Youruo, the seventh young lady of the Grand Preceptor's residence, gave up her position as Crown Princess and eloped to Jiangnan with Lu Yuanxi, a poor scholar. She earned a lifetime of infamy and was thrown out by the Grand Preceptor, severing all ties with her family.

Three years later, Lu Yuanxi placed highly in the imperial examinations and won the court's favor, rising to become Minister of Justice. But his very first case was to execute the entire household of the Grand Preceptor. The streets ran red with blood. He then branded his wife, Cheng Youruo, barren and cast her out with a letter of divorce. In the bitter wind and driving snow, she left with hatred in her heart...

When she awoke again, however, her body housed a different soul: a brilliant law student from the 21st century.

With her keen phoenix eyes and extraordinary intelligence, she returns to make a fresh start, vowing to live life on her own terms.

Beautiful enough to captivate a city and gifted beyond compare, she once rose above thousands of slave girls to become the Ghost King's favored concubine, only to become the new emperor's beloved soon after.

She takes on her scoundrel ex-husband, the bloodthirsty Ghost King, the three thousand consorts of the imperial harem, the entire court, and the strategists of seven kingdoms.

In this way, she rewrites her tragic fate and ultimately becomes the most exalted woman on the continent.
