The Concubine-Born Daughter Is Trouble

After enduring cruel torment in hell and having her eyes heartlessly gouged out by her elder sister, Gu Ruan'an grits her teeth in hatred. Her husband was stolen from her, her child was murdered, and she died full of resentment. Given another life, she vows to repay every grudge and avenge every wrong. Gentle and clever, Gu Ruan'an advances step by step with vengeance in her heart, rising to the top.

Prince Chu has eyes bright as stars and smiles faintly. “This woman is cunning indeed, a real menace to proper society.”

Third Miss Gu raises her eyes slightly, her smile as lovely as a flower. “This man has achieved enough to threaten the throne, a real scourge to proper society.”

A menace meets a scourge, and both suffer. Since it has come to this... they might as well make a life together.
