Summary

Modern prosecutor Wei Yi is betrayed and shot dead by her lover Liu Mu, and her soul transmigrates into the body of the Fifth Princess of the Western Regions, who is showered with favor. The original owner of the body was envied for her favor and was ambushed during a hunt by a combination of muscle-softening powder, a beast herd, and masked assassins; her brother Wei Jincheng was poisoned protecting her and fell into a coma. Reborn with modern knowledge and a ruthless resolve, Wei Yi sets out both to uncover the mastermind behind the assassination and to avenge the original owner and her brother, while being singled out for marriage by Chu Qingyang, the war god of Eastern Chu, and sent far away as a peace-bride. Unwilling to be confined to the inner quarters, she builds a commercial empire through business acumen; yet when the realm collapses and the common people are displaced, she sees the true face of the person she trusted most and must choose her true partner anew amid the chaos.

Editor's review

This book follows the typical ancient-romance power-fantasy path of soul-transmigration revenge plus a strong female lead in business. The opening—a prosecutor betrayed and shot by her lover, then transmigrating into a princess of the Western Regions—is fast-paced and full of conflict, with the satisfaction concentrated in the heroine using modern thinking to investigate, do business, and maneuver among factions. It suits readers who like revenge, face-slapping, and palace intrigue. The weaknesses are also clear: the setup feels formulaic, supporting characters are rather flat, the romance wavers among several male characters, and the later turn toward the fall of the realm feels somewhat rushed.

Reading tips

  1. The first few chapters are information-dense; sort out the original owner's memories and the post-rebirth timeline before reading on
  2. Follow the three-stage progression from revenge to business to the fate of the realm, and enjoy the rhythm of the payoff
  3. The romance pulls between multiple male leads; don't rush to pick a ship, and wait for the dust to settle before checking the ending
