After transmigrating into the body of a notorious village girl with the same name, Zhao Mingzhu recalled the original owner’s past.
It was clearly her stepmother who had egged her on to pick fights and vent her anger, burn the villagers’ granary, cripple the villagers, and spoil her two younger brothers until they became street hooligans.
Then one day, the villagers took revenge, leaving her on the brink of death. As she lay dying, she begged her stepmother to open the door and save her.
But her stepmother said, “Your birth mother gave birth to a wretch like you. If I save you, Heaven will strike me down!”
Zhao Mingzhu, who had transmigrated into this world, wasn’t about to put up with that. If she wasn’t welcome in this village, she would find another one to live in!
The villagers had thought the sky was falling, but then they saw that the wicked woman had killed the bandits who came to steal their grain. She even built a workshop and a school in the village.
The villagers all agreed: who said Zhao Mingzhu was wicked? She was wonderful...
Zhao Mingzhu, however, had a problem. Why did that proud, handsome tutor from the prefectural city keep showing up at her home for meals?
And she never imagined that simply making some grilled cold noodles would earn her the title of Lady of the Imperial Mandate!
