Rebirth of the Legitimate Daughter: Princess of Misfortune

The Jiang family had two stunning beauties. The eldest daughter from the original wife was enchanting like a demon, while the second daughter from the stepmother was as beautiful as a fairy. Due to the early death of her birth mother and the death of her eldest brother in battle, a wandering Taoist deemed her horoscope inauspicious and she was sent to the Zhuangzi where she faced cold stares from others. Upon returning to the ancestral home, she was grateful to the stepmother for treating her as if she were her own, and the fairy-like stepsister treated her sincerely despite the curse. With a heart full of gratitude, she entered the palace as a substitute for her stepsister... Thinking that her birth father would always care for her, and her beloved would guide her, she sacrificed herself for the glory of the family only to face an unpredictable change in fortune, where her beloved became the ruler while she herself was labeled as a calamitous demon. The stepsister smiled cunningly and said, "Sister, do you know that you are like a speck of sand in my eyes? Today is the day to remove that speck. Sister, do you really believe that your elder brother and mother died naturally?" Father treated her coldly, rising step by step, and only then did she realize that she had become an abandoned member of the family. She witnessed her youngest brother being tortured to death by a power-loving minister, shedding tears of blood and making a solemn vow. The heavens had eyes and sent her back ten years ago, as the true heiress of the Jiang family, having returned from hell! Enough, since she was labeled as a calamitous demon, she might as well upheave the world! The youngest stepsister was hypocritical, the stepmother was malicious, the beloved was ruthless, and the family showed no mercy. She came to collect the lives of those who couldn't be taken by the King of Hell! In the past life, she was treated as a chess piece; in this life, she would make the world her game! With her beautiful smile and enchanting charm, she would upend the world in her red dress. She was an evil spirit who had returned from hell; she was determined to make those who harmed her pay with their lives! "I want those who owed me their lives to bring their hearts and livers before me, and I want those who looked down on me to forever look up to me. I want Duke Zi to tremble at the sight of me, and I want to trample these beautiful mountains and rivers under my feet!" "You are the calamitous demon of the nation, and I am the treacherous minister," he said with a dark robe and cold eyes. "It's perfect; we're a match made in heaven." *** The sky was filled with lonely stars, and the night was as dark as ink. The young girl was slender and graceful, dressed in a red outfit that exuded a chilling aura. She coldly asked, "What brings Your Highness here so late at night?" The young man in a black robe, with handsome features and a noble aura, lowered his gaze and said calmly, "I've heard that the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion is naturally enchanting, so I've come to pay her a visit." "What does it matter if I'm naturally enchanting? Your Highness might as well look at yourself in a bronze mirror to truly understand what it means to be born with wickedness." With that, she slammed the door shut with a bang. The cool young man who remained in his original spot, always elegant, suddenly showed a crack in his composure. How bold of her to dare slam the door! *** She wore red like fire, but her heart was as cold as the coldest winter. He dressed in black, exuding a sense of desolation, yet he was willingly warming her frozen heart. In this life, that young man with pure elegance approached her step by step, like a Qingzhu in the snowy fields or an icy stream in the mountains, unstoppable. "Ruan Ruan, if you hate the world, I will conquer it for you." "And if I love it?" she asked. "Then I shall be the world, and you will only be allowed to love me." Upgraded domestic struggle, with a strong male lead and an even stronger female lead, a story filled with love and favoritism. Please support it! *kisses*
