Reborn, the Empress Only Wants to Send Her Enemies to Their Doom

In her previous life, Shen Qingyan, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's household, did everything to help the man she loved ascend the throne. She drained the Hou household's century-old reserves, offered military strategies, gave away its wealth, and even took a deadly arrow for him. In return, after he became emperor, he sent her a decree deposing her as empress, then personally handed her a cup of poisoned wine in a pavilion in the imperial garden.

"Wanwan, there is no true love in the imperial family. Your existence stands in the way of the new empress." His icy words were the most piercing cold she felt before her death.

When she opened her eyes again, she had been reborn on the night before she was to enter the palace as a candidate in the imperial selection. With the secret letter in her fingers, the very one that had drawn her into the struggle for the throne in her previous life and led to her utter ruin, Shen Weiwan curled her lips into a cold smile.

In this life, she would no longer be the foolish woman blinded by love. She would protect the Hou household's glory and avenge the blood debts of her past life! She would drag down, one by one, all those who had betrayed, harmed, and bullied her, make them kneel at her feet, and force them to taste for themselves the heart-piercing pain and bone-deep torment she had suffered in her last life! Amid palace intrigue and schemes, she would plan every step and carve out her own satisfying path of revenge within the imperial palace!
