Alternate Title: The Rebirth of the Villainous Consort in a Dark Power Struggle Novel

Hot elements include: rebirth, sister rivalry, switching husbands, ruthless counterattacks, breaking the “cold love” trope, defeating the white moonlight (idealized love rival), and a fake vs. real heiress plot (not the protagonist). Packed with satisfying plot twists, this story is a must-read!

Zheng Huiyin and her sister Zheng Deyin both experience rebirth.

In their previous lives:

Huiyin married the puppet Crown Prince as a secondary consort, while Deyin married a powerful Duke as his official wife. Everyone believed Deyin had the better marriage.

However, Huiyin gained the exclusive favor of the Crown Prince for three years, even surpassing the Crown Princess. When the Crown Prince became Emperor, the Crown Princess died mysteriously, and the Emperor succumbed to his illness. Huiyin, as the mother of the Emperor's only heir, assumed regency and ruled the empire as Empress Dowager.

Meanwhile, Deyin’s marriage was plagued by her husband’s lingering feelings for his “white moonlight,” leaving her life bitter and lonely, ending with his untimely death.

In this life, Huiyin awakens to the news that Deyin has stolen her marriage proposal. Instead of being angry, she claps her hands in delight:

“Sorry, sis. Even if I’m on a different track, I’ll still become Empress!”

After transmigrating three years ago, Lin Jinyan found himself in a tough life: a destitute mother, mountains of debt, a sickly younger brother, and his own battered body. Obsessed with money, Lin worked himself to the bone, taking up to eight jobs a day while fending off harassment from local thugs.

Three years of struggle later, he decided there was only one way out: cling to a powerful backer. His target? The notorious Qin Wu.

Lin Jinyan didn’t settle for small fry. If he was going to bet, it would be on the biggest shark in Hong Kong. If he succeeded, he could live as a king. If he failed, well—eighteen years later, he’d just be another man again.

Qin Wu was a legend in Hong Kong’s underworld—a kingpin among kingpins. Charismatic, ruthless, and wealthy, he ruled with an iron fist. His loyal followers were as fierce as wolves.

Qin Wu: “So, you only love my money?”

Lin Jinyan (earnestly): “What nonsense! I love your power and your brainless goons too. They follow every order, after all.”

Qin Wu: [shuts the door with a smile]

Lin Jinyan’s grin faltered: “…Seriously?”

If you can’t take a joke, don’t play the game.

[A top-tier tycoon from Beijing's elite circles: a cold yet devoted "suit thug" vs. a ballet princess: a dazzling and proud little swan.]

[Double virginity, sweet teasing, marriage-before-love, slow-burn romance, and a high-society reality show.]

Li Zhi grew up as Fu Yanze’s childhood sweetheart, but her identity as a fake rich daughter was revealed. For the sake of profit, Fu Yanze got engaged to the real rich daughter, an entertainment industry starlet, promising Li Zhi he’d come back for her once he gained the benefits he needed.

Later, Li Zhi joined the couple’s reality show.

She arrived in stunning fashion—her bright, captivating eyes shining, her slender waist and snow-white skin adorned with a diamond crown and a luxurious ballet gown, twirling gracefully.

The internet exploded with insults, accusing her of being a homewrecker who shamelessly interfered in someone else’s relationship!

But Fu Yanze was secretly delighted, knocking on her door late at night:

“Zhi Zhi, I knew you’d come back for me...”

Unexpectedly, the most powerful man in Beijing opened the door. Clad in a disheveled bathrobe, his aloof demeanor laced with defiance, he displayed the love bites on his neck and mocked:

“Fu Shao, sneaking into my wife’s room in the middle of the night—trying to be a third wheel, are you?”

Luo Yan Jing was a natural troublemaker. Arrogant, wild, and untamed, he ruled as the head of a top-tier family, rebelling against anyone who tried to control him.

Until one day, the elusive tycoon who never bothered to appear in finance interviews stunned the world by joining a reality show. From that moment, daily trending topics featured him glued to Li Zhi’s side, gazing at her with burning intensity, filling the screen with electric chemistry.

Netizens called him the "Capital’s Madman," suspecting Li Zhi had bewitched him!

But no one knew that in his most carefree, rebellious years, he had quietly tutored the girl he secretly loved, patiently explaining problems and taking notes just for her.

He waited eight years.

Finally, he got the chance he had dreamed of.

For eight years, he had burned with jealousy toward Fu Yanze, driven mad by his feelings.

From a scholarly family, the gentle and elegant Chu Shuang had always known about her engagement to the prestigious Sheng family of the capital. However, she had never once met her fiancé.

Fate intervenes when she ends up staying at the Sheng family estate and meets her sister’s older brother, Sheng Yang—a refined and noble man with striking looks, well exceeding the standard for a marriage partner.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Sheng family comes to officially propose. To her surprise, it’s not Sheng Yang but his stoic and aloof uncle, Sheng Ting.

"Uncle, why isn’t Sheng Yang here?"

"Why should he be?"

"You're all here to propose on his behalf—why isn't he present?"

The man’s dark eyes fix on her for a moment before he replies, his words precise and deliberate:

"The one proposing is me."

Stunned, Chu Shuang is left speechless as Sheng Ting’s declaration settles like a whisper in the evening breeze.

Case solved!

This story unfolds slowly, capturing the intricate details of inner-courtyard conflicts and family drama.

From a young age, Yao Niang was praised by a fortune teller as blessed with wisdom and fortune. Outsiders marveled at her seemingly perfect life: her father hailed from the prestigious Yan clan of Jinling, her mother from the renowned Jie family of Dongshan, and she herself was a paragon of beauty and elegance. Surely, such a woman should live a carefree life.

But appearances are deceiving. Her father, having married into two families, left her mother with the title of equal wife but none of its actual status, making Yao Niang's position neither fully legitimate nor entirely illegitimate—a life as unsatisfying as eating half-cooked rice.

Her troubles worsened as she grew up under the shadow of her distinguished siblings:

Her noble and beloved elder legitimate sister, adored by all men.

Her talented, orchid-like elder illegitimate sister.

And her daring, passionate younger legitimate sister, spoiled to the core.

Yao Niang only hoped to protect herself and avoid trouble, but her peaceful aspirations were shattered when her elder legitimate sister fled from her arranged marriage. Suddenly, Yao Niang was selected as a replacement bride for her sister’s fiancé.

Yet, Yao Niang had her own principles—she detested eating "half-cooked rice." No one, no matter how powerful, could force her hand.

Tang Qingqing realized she was the heroine of a book while tracking sheep footprints over mountains, searching for a lost herd.

According to the original storyline, she was supposed to be the delicate daughter of a factory director, living in a white villa, eating commodity grain, and basking in the adoration of everyone around her.

Later, she would marry a man who cherished her, raise two stepchildren who would become future tycoons, and have three adorable and intelligent children of her own, living a blissful life.

But now, a transmigrated cannon fodder has taken her place, seizing everything that should have belonged to her.

The plot god insists she must correct the story, steal back the male lead before the transmigrator hooks him. However, Tang Qingqing is indifferent.

“Let her have him. There are plenty of men in the world.”

With her life swapped, she is no longer that delicate flower. Her mindset has changed.

Now free, she uses her honed skills to solve countless cases, rising to fame as the "Divine-Eye Heroine" in the criminal investigation world.
