The General’s Legitimate Daughter: Reborn to Beat Her Trash Ex to a Pulp

(The heroine has flaws due to past betrayal! The romance develops slowly. The hero is gentle, skilled in medicine, and a little scheming!)

Everyone said the eldest daughter of the Protector General’s household had been betrothed to the Second Prince since they were young, and that their love for each other ran deep.

So why, when an imperial decree arranged her marriage, did she choose to marry into the very Marquis of Xuanping household her father despised most, the Gu family? What was so appealing about Gu Jingzhi, the Gu family’s second son, who spent all day loafing around and doing nothing useful?

Gu Jingzhi himself was just as baffled by her decision. “There were so many people in the hall just now. Why did you insist on marrying me?”

Xie Mingyue smiled sweetly. “You’re the most handsome.”

“Fair enough.”

…

Xie Mingyue was the legitimate daughter of the Protector General, the apple of the Xie family’s eye. At just fifteen, she could ride into battle alongside her brothers. She was every bit as capable as any man, and together with her family, she had won many glorious victories.

This heroic woman had been rescued by the Second Prince when she was young, after an accident. From then on, she gave him her heart and vowed to marry no one else.

The entire Xie family threw its support behind the lowborn Second Prince, helping him ascend the throne. But after the new emperor took power, he grew to fear that the Xie family’s achievements threatened his rule. He plotted to frame them and slaughtered the entire family… And she herself, after being tormented in every way by her half-sister, died without a proper burial!

She hated them. She couldn’t accept it. And she hated that the entire Xie family had died because of her. If she had another life, she would overturn the tyrant’s path to the throne and keep the Xie family safe. Every last blood debt would be repaid!
