My Husband Poisoned Me for His Mistress. Reborn, I Wiped Out His Entire Family

[Reborn, revenge against scumbags, heroine with a slightly villainous streak, multiple male supporting characters, heroine plays the field but never gives her heart, struggles for power]

Lin Xi obeyed her parents and married Shen Huaishu, the second son of the Duke of Jun’s family, a match suited to their status. But Shen Huaishu was already in love with someone else.

The woman had come from a brothel and was not even qualified to become a concubine, so he could only keep her outside the household.

Yet Shen Huaishu was deeply devoted to her. For her sake, he went ten years without sharing a bed with Lin Xi, brought his illegitimate son into the household and raised him as the legitimate heir, and even poisoned Lin Xi slowly, until she died alone and helpless in a cold, filthy woodshed.

When Lin Xi awoke again, she was back ten years in the past. She had only just married into the Duke of Jun’s household, and there was still time to change everything. This time, she would no longer be a respectable, self-sacrificing matriarch. She would make the entire Shen family die!

To exact her revenge, she used one man after another. Her loyal childhood friend, the young heir, was willing to become a blade in her hand. Her gentle, upright brother-in-law was ready to break with his family for her. The all-knowing, unhinged Imperial Preceptor urged her to become a bewitching consort and seize the realm. The feeble emperor, who regarded her as his unattainable ideal, gradually fell into the tender dream she had woven for him…

Caught in the whirlpool of power, would Lin Xi choose to divorce, return home, and live a comfortable, carefree life, or enter the world of fame and fortune and vie with the men on equal terms?
