The Black Lotus Heiress Can't Be Won Over, but the Cold, Powerful Official Is Blushing

[Double rebirth + political intrigue + household drama + revenge + two powerful leads]

Sharp-tongued, alluring concubine VS stubborn, aloof chancellor

Li Zhaozhao left the capital to pray for the critically ill Empress Dowager before the Buddha for five years, in exchange for her family’s noble title.

On her way back to the capital, however, her reputation for chastity was ruined, and the scandal spread throughout the city. Her mother brought home a cousin from who-knows-where, who took her place as the county princess. Her father personally branded her wanton, her brother despised her, and she was sent to Prince Ning’s manor as a concubine.

They were the ones who had betrayed her kindness and failed as parents, yet they looked down on her for being “impure.”

All she wanted was to punish her cousin, Li Nianjiao, for slandering her, but Lu Yan scolded her for being arrogant and domineering.

In Lu Yan’s eyes, she was frivolous and debauched, willing to do anything to get what she wanted.

She dared not say much. Lu Yan was the chancellor, lofty and untouchable, untouched by the world and ignorant of its hardships.

She was a lowly concubine at Prince Ning’s manor, used by countless men, mired in filth from head to toe.

She suffered day and night, until at last she and Prince Ning died together.

When she opened her eyes again, she was back before her return to the capital.

This time, she was pure and unblemished, the County Princess of Anyang seated high above the world. She would rely on no one.

Li Zhaozhao devotes herself to getting revenge and building her career, but fate keeps throwing her into Lu Yan’s path.

Lu Yan is annoyed. “Do you always change your attitude depending on who you’re dealing with? Trying to get my attention?”

Li Zhaozhao gives him a sweet smile. “Don’t flatter yourself, Chancellor. You’re only good enough for my scheming cousin.”

Then the prince’s manor shows an interest in marrying her as its princess consort, and the chancellor, who has always remained calm even when Mount Tai collapsed before him, finally panics. “Zhaozhao, would you be willing to be my cherished beauty?”

Li Zhaozhao sneers. “No.”

And so Chancellor Lu begins his long, arduous journey to win his wife back...
