[Reborn + revenge + taking down scumbags + doting romance + medicine]
In her previous life, Shen Fengxi was poisoned by her cousin Shen Fengdie and left with a face split between yin and yang. She became someone all the noblewomen of the capital feared, lost her promised place as Princess Consort of Prince Xuan to her cousin, and watched her cousin and Prince Xuan destroy her family.
Reborn, Shen Fengxi not only finds a way to refuse the emperor’s arranged marriage for her, but also brings her cousin and Prince Xuan together, letting them tear each other apart.
In her previous life, she inherited all the medical skills of the Divine Needle Elder. In this one, Shen Fengxi relies on her astonishing mastery of medicine to navigate the capital with ease.
In public, she is a jade-faced young master and a disfigured noblewoman. In private, she is her family’s darling.
Her eldest brother, a censor, fiercely protects her, declaring that if he hears anyone gossiping about his sister’s appearance, he will beat them right at their door. He will also impeach their father in court for failing to raise his daughter properly.
Her second brother returns victorious and immediately has everyone who spoke ill of Shen Fengxi bound and thrown outside the city.
Her third brother is rolling in money and cuts off the family businesses of everyone who has offended Shen Fengxi.
Her parents even vow to support Shen Fengxi for the rest of her life.
But an imperial decree orders Shen Fengxi to marry Prince Mu, a man who is both obsessed with looks and calculating.
On their wedding day, Prince Mu is forced by the matrons to enter the bridal chamber. His eyes are full of reluctance, but in the end he still lifts her veil. He had prepared himself, yet the moment he sees her face, split between yin and yang, he can’t help screaming, “A ghost!”
On their wedding night, the two reach an agreement: they will stay out of each other’s way. He will give her the authority and status she deserves in the rear courtyard, and she will help him seize the throne.

The overall pacing is good, and I like the heroine's character.
Good-looking, I like Miss Shen's clear love and hate, courage, knowledge and filial piety.
It's very good-looking, but there seems to be no male protagonist. Even if there is a male protagonist, it won't be a big deal. It's like he comes out to show off his presence and then disappears.
It's okay, and the ending is good, a bit rushed, but that's how short stories are.
