Strong protagonists + villainous woman + palace intrigue + political maneuvering + court struggles
Human nature is inherently evil, but it yearns for light.

Either don't live, or live to the fullest.

Yi Man is reborn at the age of sixteen and discovers that she is the current emperor's princess. During the palace coup, she was stolen by a eunuch and sold to her adoptive parents after many twists and turns.
In her past life, she served her adoptive parents and their young son for over ten years, enduring beatings and verbal abuse. Yet, at the age of seventeen, she was still sold to a wealthy, fifty-something-year-old landowner in the countryside to raise money for their betrothal. Because of her desperate resistance, she ultimately died of illness in a mass grave...
