Summary

Gu Zhuhan, a modern woman, transmigrates into the Great Wei Dynasty as a scarred orphan girl living under the Tan household's roof. Dependent on her mother Tan Fu and younger brother Gu Yuluo, she endures years of humiliation at the hands of Eighth Concubine and other relatives. After biding her time, she seizes a snowy night to push Eighth Concubine into a lake in revenge—only to be witnessed by Ling Che, the Tan family's distinguished guest and the very man Eighth Concubine had arranged to meet. He sees through her disguise at a glance. Armed with ruthless cunning, she thereafter storms the imperial court and navigates between rival kingdoms, while she and the mysteriously powerful Ling Che move from mutual probing to shared strategy. Entwined with karmic cycles of rebirth and old tales of Penglai, theirs is a story of two formidable equals locked in standoff and love-hate entanglement.

Editor's review

This is a ancient-time romance power fantasy with a transmigration setup: the heroine is ruthless and her revenge is satisfying, the hero is mysterious and commanding, and their clashes crackle with chemistry, with goofy banter running alongside serious court intrigue—well suited to readers who enjoy evenly matched duels and a light pace. Its weak points lie in the wide stylistic gap between the early household-strife revenge and the later multi-state power struggles and fated reincarnation; the supporting cast and bonus chapters feel somewhat loose, so readers seeking rigorous logic or pure sweetness should adjust expectations.

About the author

Xiao Bai Luan Dun Author

Xiao Bai Luan Dun is a writer on an online literature platform, though limited public information is available. Only one work can currently be confirmed under this name: Kuang Fei Ben Se: Pu Dao Yao Nie Bi Xia. Judging from this representative title, the author works mainly in the areas of women's fiction and modern romance. The book's title has the light, direct flavor of web fiction, and its subject matter leans toward a romance set against a time-travel or historical backdrop, with the emotional interplay and dramatic conflicts between the male and female leads as its main appeal. Because the available records lack the author's personal background, a chronology of works, and a fuller list of titles, it is difficult to assess the overall style or lasting influence of the writing. The description above can only address the subject matter and category of the existing work; further details await later additions.
