Previous life.

Jin Ning is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Yong'an.

She was supposed to have a life of pampering and luxury.

Unexpectedly, the wedding was just around the corner.

The true legitimate daughter of the Yong'an Marquis's family has returned.

From then on, her parents despised her, her brothers hated her, and the crown prince disliked her humble origins.

A second chance at life.

She thought, this time, she didn't care about her reputation, she just wanted to live.

In her panic, she stumbled into someone's arms, hooked her arms around his neck, and took the initiative to please him.

The man asked in a deep voice: Do you know who I am?

In her hazy state, Jin Ning saw the man's deep, cold eyes and murmured, "Your Majesty!"

Emperor: Now that you know who I am, get out of here!

Jin Ning: Your Majesty, please... show me mercy.

emperor:……

After a night of passion, the emperor prepared the edict of investiture.

[Dual Regression and Marriage Exchange + Imperial Harem Power Struggles + Non-virg*n Leads + Eventual Sole Favor + Highly Perceptive Female Lead]

Shen Zhinian and her Dijie, Shen Nanqiao, both regressed.

In their past lives, Shen Zhinian was arranged by her father to marry his impoverished student, while Dijie was selected for imperial selection. Before even sharing the Emperor’s bed, she was granted the title of Guiren. The world believed that Dijie’s status was beyond compare, while her’s was utterly insignificant.

Yet who would have thought—years later, the impoverished scholar Shen Zhinian had married would achieve top honors in three consecutive imperial examinations, rise to the rank of Marquis, and be appointed as Prime Minister. She, in turn, became the youngest First-Rank titled Lady in the empire. Meanwhile, her Dijie, who had failed to gain the Emperor’s favor, spent half a lifetime struggling in the deep palace, only to meet a tragic end after being framed.

When Shen Zhinian opened her eyes once more, she found herself regressed to the moment before her betrothal. Her Dijie was eagerly vying for the chance to marry the impoverished scholar, intending to send her into the imperial selection instead. She couldn’t be more pleased.

That scholar, while talented, was arrogantly ambitious. Moreover, his household was far from welcoming—he had a harsh mother and a difficult younger sister. In their past life, the only reason he had a smooth ascent in his official career was due to her tireless efforts, painstakingly clearing the path for him.

But in this life, all the glory and prestige her Dijie coveted would never come to pass.

Besides, His Majesty was not only young and handsome, but the Empress’ seat remained vacant. Every maiden selected to enter the palace had a chance to compete for that position.

Shen Zhinian had understood since childhood that men were unreliable. She never sought true affection—only wealth and glory.

After all, how could a First-Rank titled Lady ever compare to the Mother of the Nation? In this life, she would be the one to claim unparalleled wealth and honor!

However, Shen Zhinian gradually discovered that the imperial harem harbored not only a transmigrated woman but also a raider equipped with a system.

No matter—off with their heads, and that will do!

Even so, could someone tell her why His Majesty’s gaze upon her was growing increasingly… strange?

Starting with a choice of a wife, a princess, a female general, and a down-on-her-luck Young Miss. But in this Warring States period, beauty is worthless; you need someone strong and capable. Excuse me, I want them all…
