The Emperor’s Daughter’s Scheme

In a past life, I was the most courageous general of the dynasty and the least favored princess. To save the scholar laureate who had angered the emperor, I was dispatched to the Yumen Pass, a strategic pass on the empire's border, by my father to fend off the relentless attacks from the Xiongnu. After five years on the frontier, surviving countless brushes with death, I returned to the capital with a broken right arm. The scholar laureate, who once vowed to protect me for life, was now celebrating his wedding. Due to the disgrace of my lost arm, I was sentenced to hang with a ceremonial silk cord. As I hung myself from the rafters, he entered the bridal chamber. Upon awakening, I found myself back on the day the scholar laureate angered the emperor. Watching my enraged father and the trembling scholar laureate, a cold smile tugged at my lips. If the royal family cannot accommodate me, then I will bring it down!
