Su Li was upset.
Things weren't supposed to happen this way.
Not in this life.
She had done all she could to scheme her way into Sun Rui's arms.
She had won his heart from the start since young, wounding him slowly around her little finger with her white lotus act and youthful body.
She had schemed to make him fall in love with her, convinced him of her sister's malicious mind and kept him desiring for her body.
So why... Why was he rejecting her now?
***
Su Li was reborn again into the world after she had died a terrible death. She was caught up in the tussle between concubines at the house of the wealthy merchant that she had married under Father's recommendation, and had died painfully from one of their schemes.
Definitely, the merchant she married was incredibly wealthy and she did live a luxurious life despite being just a concubine. The merchant's wife was easy to handle and Su Li herself managed to give birth easily to two children.
But once the official wife passed away, the concubines' fight grew vicious as each vied for the place of official wife.
Su Li was one of the more ambitious of the lot, being beautiful with a rarely seen white lotus beauty. Even after giving birth, she still looked like a gentle and innocent maiden.
Yet, even with her scheming mind, she had not realised that others could scheme better than her.
And soon she fell to her death.
When she opened her eyes, she was back in her 5 year old body.
This time, Su Li would not be so foolish as to seek to live a hard life. Nor would she desire to take revenge.
This life, she will live happily for herself.
And the person that would give her all she desired in this new life would be her future brother-in-law, Sun Rui, the future Emperor of Da Li.
***
Su Li did not hate her sister, Su Chen. Su Chen was an introverted being, not as beautiful as her, not as bright as her.
In fact, she had never really thought to take Sun Rui from Su Chen. Even if she were to marry in as a concubine, she was confident that she could switch their roles as official wife and concubine with her charm and looks.
But Sun Rui's unexpected divorce from Su Chen was a boon to her.
She actually had not expected that the Empress Rong who was supposedly pampered by the devoted Emperor Xun of her past life would be so easily divorced in this life.
In fact, Su Li was delighted to sever any ties Sun Rui had with her sister. She had actually paid assassins to kill her sister once she reaches South Rain but was pleased to hear that her sister had died on her journey there.
Now, nothing would stop her in her journey to be Empress.
So. Why was this happening to her right now?
