[Reborn] [Feel-Good Revenge] [Court and Household Intrigue] [Love After Marriage] [Political Scheming]
At eighteen, Shen Nanyuan became engaged to Gu Yanzheng to put the emperor's mind at ease.
At twenty, her parents, General Shen and his wife, were ambushed on their triumphant return to the capital. Their bodies were never found. Shen Nanyuan took up her father's command banner, went to war, and avenged her parents.
Three years later, Shen Nanyuan returned to the capital in triumph. She fulfilled her parents' final wish and married Gu Yanzheng.
But on their wedding night, someone poisoned their nuptial wine. Her dear cousin joined forces with Gu Yanzheng, had the tendons in her hands and feet severed, and subjected her to every kind of torture and humiliation before throwing her into a sea of flames.
Her younger brother and sister were also framed by their own relatives and killed while trying to avenge her.
Only as she lay dying did Shen Nanyuan learn that her parents' deaths had not been the work of enemy troops. It was her second uncle's plot, intended to destroy the main branch of the Shen family and let his own branch rise to power.
As for Gu Yanzheng, the person he had wanted to marry from the very beginning was never her, but her cousin Shen Nanyue.
Most shocking of all was what her cousin said: "Cousin, if someone above us hadn't given the signal, how would my father have dared to kill your father so recklessly...?"
For three years as a ghost, Shen Nanyuan watched her second uncle's family earn the emperor's favor and climb higher with every step.
She seethed with hatred. Why did wicked people get to live so well...?
When she opened her eyes again, Shen Nanyuan had returned to the day she came back to the capital in triumph.
This time, she would expose the true faces of those beasts in fine clothes, uncover the truth behind her parents' ambush, and make them pay!
She also wanted to help Prince Chen, who was in dire straits, and repay him for giving her parents a grand burial...
The writing is still the same old routine. The introduction is about repaying a favor, but in the end, the benefactor always helps. It is obviously a mutual benefit, but I won't say who actually takes advantage.
