After Dying 98 Times, I'll Make Them All Rot
The first time I died, a pretty maid stabbed me through the throat with a gold hairpin.
The second time, the lady of the house forced a cup of poison down my throat, burning my insides to a crisp.
The third time was even simpler. I caught the master and his own sister in a disgraceful affair, so they tossed me down a well and drowned me.
...On my 98th death, I woke up again amid this fragrant finery. As I breathed in that familiar, cloying scent, I suddenly smiled.
Fine, then. This time, the one who threw the hairpin, the one who served the wine, the ones who shoved me down the well... Every last one of them will rot to the bone in this cesspool!

I am trapped in fragments of the world's timeline, endlessly reborn and reliving 98 horrific deaths. Each death resets time, but I retain my memories. In the end, I discover that I am a vessel cultivated by a powerful being known as a "Gu Master" to nurture "malice" or "despair." On my 98th rebirth, I resolve to turn the rules against their maker, take revenge, and break the cycle.
