[Court Intrigue and Household Battles] [Strong Female Lead] [Pseudo-Eunuch] [Soul Transmigration] [Play the Pig to Eat the Tiger]
She died, but not completely.
She was reborn, but not entirely alive.
After being strangled to death, her soul transmigrated into the body of a worthless legitimate daughter in her enemy's household, where she was abused and bullied.
Her house was full of snakes, bugs, rats, and vermin. But she was a cat.
From then on, her main account wielded a blade while her alternate account wept like a coward, and she began her revenge by playing the pig to eat the tiger.
The legitimate daughter of the Luo family, Dukes of Protecting the State, was rumored to be the sole personal disciple of a martial arts grandmaster, invincible beneath the heavens.
Her name was renowned throughout the martial world. She won over merchants, championed new policies for women, established a charitable trade association, and earned the people's support before taking her place at court.
She excelled in both letters and arms, peerless in the world.
Yet she still fell into a trap, outmaneuvered by her enemies.
In a single moment of carelessness, she and Lou Yuan, the powerful head of the Directorate of Ceremonial, both became helpless fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
Their collarbones were locked, the tendons in their hands and feet severed, their families destroyed, and their lives nearly over.
To protect the few loved ones she had left, she risked her life to save Lou Yuan and struck a deal with him.
Only after being reborn did she discover that this man carried a blood feud and loved her with all his heart.
At first, she knelt before him, sobbing pitifully and looking utterly helpless.
"Boo-hoo, this poor girl has had such a hard life. Please take pity on me, Lord Director..."
Later, she pulled him behind her and raised her sword to stop nearly a hundred men.
"Husband, step aside. I don't need you here!"
