A Lady’s Tranquility (Story of Kunning Palace/Rephrased)
In her previous existence, Jiang Xuening epitomized the archetype of a Mary Sue. In pursuit of the Empress title, she strategically formed connections and engaged romantically with various individuals.
During her courtship with the Emperor, the rebel served as her contingency plan;
In her dalliance with a student, the teacher assumed a similar role;
When involved with a superior at work, the subordinate became her backup;
Even in relationships with women, a man was kept in reserve...?
Every day resembled a battleground! (Sighs)
Regardless of the Emperor's identity, she aspired to secure the role of Empress!
All the while, men believed they were entering the heart of a naive and sweet girl, only to discover they had unwittingly stepped into the quagmire of a deceitful woman who also moonlighted as the Queen of the Sea.
Then came a change in the Palace.
Her demise followed.
Heaven granted her an opportunity for a fresh start.
She pledged to sincerely repent and reform her ways.
To her dismay, upon her rebirth, she found herself already entangled in a web of complications, rendering it too late for change!
Jiang Xuening, indignant, exclaimed, "Heaven is toying with human lives! I was born with nine lives! believe it or not! When my temper flares up, [BEEP――]"
Heaven, stricken with a more severe heart attack, questioned, "What if the ship capsizes again?"
Jiang Xuening, with an icy and impassive demeanor, responded, "Helpless."
It was all merely a rhetorical exchange.
The challenge at hand: How to gracefully terminate enmity without offending influential individuals.
