[Ancient-to-Modern Transmigration + Mutual Healing + Powerful Male Lead with a Scheming Sweet Side]
After eight years of palace intrigue, Qing Xiyue had finally clawed her way from a low-ranking consort to empress. Then an assassination attempt came out of nowhere, sending her straight back to square one, and things were even worse than before.
Reborn in the body of a useless, scandal-ridden white lotus, could she, a black lotus herself, put up with that?
The answer: absolutely not!
Netizens mocked her, saying her zither playing sounded like the Great Compassion Mantra. Qing Xiyue sneered: My zither skills have taken on more than three thousand women one-on-one. Even that lousy emperor loved listening to me. Who do you think you are...
Netizens: So fake and such a drama queen. You can't even lift a finger. Why are you going on a rural variety show?
Qing Xiyue: Sorry, I can knock down three people with one hand.
After the awards ceremony, rumors broke that Qing Xiyue had supposedly slept her way into a role through backstage connections.
The rumor was ridiculous, but it was true that she'd met up with a pretty boy, and the two of them had played games all night.
But could someone explain this to her?
She'd only played a game with her little brother. How had she ruined his reputation and sullied his good name?
He even chased after me all the way to the show.
Her sweet-talking little brother grabbed her, looking aggrieved. "Sis, are you trying to eat without paying?"
