I started reading as soon as I got the book and couldn't put it down! I had to stop and finish another night because I needed to go to work the next morning.
I was drawn in by the premise and the gorgeous cover. I love a good revenge story. Mingshin used her brain and wealth to helped the prince she loved become king, but he framed her for treason and murdered her. She also found out that her uncle and cousins betrayed her. The gods grants her wish for another life. She wakes up two years earlier and swears revenge upon them all.
The revenge plot was executed very well. Mingshin is very smart and calculates her every move. Ren turns out even more evil than she knew and her uncle is a master manipulator. And the timeline in this life has changed, so Mingshin can no longer predict what happens next. All of the above make the book a quite interesting, engaging read.
There's also romance. Mingshin swears to never fall in love again. Who can blame her after suffering the betrayal from her beloved? But it's not easy to resist a man who adores you and respects you and always stands by you. The romance is swoon worthy!
Mingshin also makes some female friends along the way. A lot of books often pit women characters against each other, so I like the female friendships here.
All in all, I strongly recommend this book!
