【Strongly bullying scum + Intrigue + Family Struggle + Cute Baby + Strong Female Lead + Cold-hearted Male Lead, a healing and doting story between two individuals】 Before rebirth, Xia Mu was the legendary Left Minister of Western Qin and also the first female minister in the history of Western Qin. She held great power, standing proudly in court. She changed the fate of a chronically ill Fourth Prince, Gu Qian, within three years, elevating him to the position of Crown Prince, shocking the world. On the day of his coronation, in front of everyone, Gu Qian unexpectedly proposed to Jing Wanbai, the Third Miss of the Right Minister's Mansion. Xia Mu, who had been patiently waiting for Gu Qian for many years, became a laughingstock in front of everyone. Shortly after, Gu Qian, together with the Right Minister, produced evidence of Xia Mu's conspiracy, completely pushing her into hell. With her wit and cunning, she ended up with her entire family being wiped out and herself disappearing without a trace. In a twist of fate, Xia Mu was reborn as Jing Se, the legitimate daughter of the Right Minister's Mansion, who had a son out of wedlock. The original body had been sent to the Blissful Valley to recover due to poor health, but on the way back home, she was betrayed by her stepmother and involved in illicit affairs, resulting in her pregnancy. Out of anger, the Right Minister sent her to a remote village to fend for herself. When Xia Mu woke up, she looked at her five-year-old son, who had delicate facial features but a pale complexion due to years of malnutrition. She vowed to reclaim everything for him! In this new life, Jing Se's biggest wishes were to take revenge, earn money to support her son, and get rid of scum. However, she unintentionally picked up a "foolish" disciple who resembled an exiled immortal and followed her around, calling her master all day long. People said that Jing Se had incredible luck and actually picked up a powerful backer, which allowed her to live a worry-free life, rich and prosperous. "Phew!" Jing Se gritted her teeth in resentment. Everyone knew that this exiled immortal was beautiful and had some mental issues, but no one realized that the moment he discovered he was the child's father, he suddenly became smart and took control, dominating like a starving wolf. Lifting Jing Se's chin, he smiled tenderly, his desire gradually intensifying, "Darling, once as a teacher, always as a wife." [Exciting excerpt one] On a winter day with snow falling in the execution ground, Jing Se leaned against the embrace of a certain exiled immortal, half-closed phoenix eyes gazing at the man on the execution platform, who was barely clinging to life. Her red lips blossomed like a flower: "Crown Prince, do you remember the legendary Left Minister Xia Mu? She once reigned over the court, wicked and cunning, with unmatched strategies, helping you step by step in your path to the throne. However, in the end, you heartlessly sent her to the underworld. But heaven has not forsaken her. With my borrowed body and soul, I have come back to life. I will step on your spine, climbing higher and higher, until I finally avenge myself. How is it? Does the feeling of having your arms chopped off, eyes fried, and knees excavated compare to how you witnessed Xia Mu being beheaded? Isn't it more satisfying?" [Exciting excerpt two] After being successfully taken into the mansion by a certain exiled immortal, Jing Se was approached by her mother-in-law one day. "Aser, various young masters from the noble families of the capital are waiting for Mirror to join them in a horse race. Could you go and urge him?" Jing Se dejectedly replied, "I have already urged him." Her mother-in-law asked, "What did he say?" Jing Se said seriously, "He said that horse racing is too childish and doesn't match his aloof image, so he won't go." Her mother-in-law continued to inquire, "Then what is he doing?" Jing Se replied earnestly, "He is playing with our little treasure in the mud."
