(Rebirth + revenge on scoundrels + satisfying payback + sweet romance)
Gu Jiu opened her eyes and discovered she had returned to the year her nightmare began. Seeing the noblewomen gathered around her, waiting to convict her, she used her exalted status to serve them a feast of humiliation. At last, she could vent all the frustration she had swallowed in her previous life!
Rumors are spreading among the noble ladies: the cowardly legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Zhongyi's household, who has always hidden her face because of her supposed ugliness, not only dares to hit people, but may actually be a peerless beauty.
She dumped the scoundrel husband who had taken a secondary wife and concubines in her previous life.
When a scheming green-tea girl comes looking for trouble, Gu Jiu uses her own tricks against her and leaves her nowhere to turn.
The Noble Consort tries to use her power to crush Gu Jiu? Gu Jiu goes straight to the Chancellor, the most powerful man in the Great Yin dynasty, and they join forces to turn the tables and head home triumphant.
Life after being reborn is wonderful. Gu Jiu plans to find an obedient husband and spend her life with him, just the two of them.
But her suitors keep appearing, only to disappear one by one.
After looking into it, she discovers that the Chancellor, who seems so dignified and reserved, has been playing dirty behind her back, secretly snuffing out each of her romantic prospects.
Furious, Gu Jiu drops all pretenses and storms into the Chancellor's residence:
“Didn't you once say you had no interest in romance?”
“Oh? Jiujiu, do you have proof with my signature and seal? I always insist on hard evidence. If you have none, then those who slander me must be punished... by being locked up for life.”
