The Reborn Mad Heiress Makes Her Whole Family Beg for Mercy

[Dual rebirth + power couple political intrigue + mutual redemption + everyone dotes on the heroine] In her previous life, Song Wanji had her husband stolen by the daughter of a concubine, then was driven from her home. When danger closed in, she set off a firebomb, taking everyone down with her. Reborn, she discovers that her former nemesis, Lu Yinshuang, has become her cousin, and will protect her with her life. “Cousin, just say the word if you want to bring down a family. I'll put a knife in your hand.” Lu Yinshuang assigns her shadow guards to Song Wanji as part of her dowry, smiling warmly. “Just stay away from that treacherous minister, Wen Tinglan.” Wen Tinglan is a powerful courtier who holds sway over the court and is the emperor's favorite. No one knows he is the only son of the Grand General of Zhenhai, a young general whose whole family was implicated in a treason case. With Wen Tinglan's help, she rises to prominence in the capital, only to discover that he plans to rebel. He sets one trap after another, sending her entire family into exile, yet also becomes the ladder that leads her to power. As her blade rests against his forehead, he smiles faintly: “Song Wanji, if this realm won't let us remain innocent, ” Wen Tinglan locks a shackle around her wrist. “Then let's make the world's worst slander about us come true.” When a foreign prince comes to seek her hand, Wen Tinglan leads his soldiers to storm the wedding hall beneath blazing red candles. He flicks Song Wanji's veil aside with his sword, only to find her already holding a sword of her own, waiting for him: “If we're going to set this realm ablaze, we might as well both add fuel to the fire.”
