Synopsis

In her previous life, she was the most honored princess of the Nanxi Kingdom, yet she married a man who had climbed the social ladder through her. She humbled herself to serve her greedy mother-in-law and used her own money to support her husband's family.

After her husband became emperor,

her younger brother was mutilated and left to die, her mother became a prostitute, her lips kissed by countless men, and her father was torn apart by five horses.

He looked at her with cold eyes and said, “Jiang Nanxi, do you know that just thinking about having shared a bed with you makes me want to skin you alive and tear out your tendons? Now the empire belongs to me, and you're not even worthy of carrying Lingyao's shoes.”

Lingyao looked down and ground Jiang Nanxi underfoot, her face twisted in rage. “So what if you're a princess? I want to see you sink into the dirt and die without a burial place. Hahaha!”

Reborn, Jiang Nanxi sends her wicked mother-in-law to a nunnery.

She sends her sister-in-law to live with an abusive husband.

She ensures Pei Yanchuan spends his life without wife or child, dying alone. He asks, “Did you ever love me?”

At the very end, dressed in her wedding gown, she looks down at him like a worm. “Perhaps I loved you in my previous life!”

He murmurs to himself, “It's all too late. Too late. Heh...” In the end, he has lost her.

Any Recommendations for Short, Complete, Feel-Good Stories?

I really want a story that's satisfying from beginning to end, not one where the protagonist puts up with everything at first and only gets to humiliate their enemies later. I've been searching forever and can't find the right one.

Preferably a female-led cultivation story. She shouldn’t be selfish or heartless, but she shouldn’t be a saintly pushover either. She should be invincible, the strongest person in the world.
