Reborn, the Scumbag Top Scholar Kneels at My Feet and Calls Me Lord

Reborn + imperial examinations + female top scholar + revenge and putting scumbags in their place + an entire cast of villains + plot-focused

In her previous life, everyone envied her. How could the daughter of a minor merchant have married such a promising young top scholar? No one knew that this supposedly good husband personally sent her to the Shang family’s study, where she was abused at their mercy, before having her dumped in a mass grave...

The passionate love she had believed in was nothing but a marriage scam planned long in advance. On their wedding night, he was nowhere to be seen, having lost interest because he was already making love to her cousin in the study...

Reborn into a new life, she’ll settle every score and avenge every wrong. No one gets away!

He’s so devoted to fame and official rank? Then she’ll rise above him and watch him kneel at her feet, calling her “Your Excellency.” The thought fills her with satisfaction.

She risks her life to win the emperor’s backing. In the treacherous court, where danger lurks at every turn, it comes down to who can be darker and more ruthless!

As for those despicable bullies who prey on others, she’ll knock every last one of them down!

We are the emperor’s students. We enter the court and rise to become ministers and chancellors, all to be the finest steeds in service of the people!

After enduring a sea of blood, her heart has turned to ash, with no tenderness left to kindle. Yet she never expected that the young man from both her lives had been waiting behind her all along. “If you’re tired, you can lean on my shoulder.”

In this life, I will protect her.
