Jun Zhenzhen might have been recently orphaned, but it didn’t dampen her arrogance one bit. She even snubbed her maternal family who took her in, seeing them as merely a stopover as she gained a foothold in Yangcheng. Her final destination, obviously, was with the scholarly and aristocratic Ning Family. More specifically, as the wife of the first son and pride of the Ning Family. After all, their grandfathers had arranged their marriage long ago.

But the engagement was denied! The family refused to meet with her, refused to accept the validity of a marriage arranged by elders long dead, refused to accept such an unruly, uncouth girl into their family.

She’ll show them.

Sincerity is everything, so she took a room in a nearby inn and strung up a length of white silk. Of course, she figured that once they saw how far she was willing to go, they would need to open their doors to her. Too clever!

Only, once her eyes fluttered closed… it was another girl who opened them again.

The recently dead Princess Jiuling, who was hacked to death during her attempted assassination of the King, has been granted another attempt at life and revenge.

But first, she has to get this petty Ning family and this nonsense arranged marriage out of the way. (Source: Novelupdates)
