Only as she lay dying did Wen Yu learn that her entire life had been a joke, reduced to a few lines in a storybook:
Her husband, Qiao Huaijin, killed her and abandoned their children for his mistress. Her daughter died by suicide after being humiliated, and her son was tortured to death. Meanwhile, Wen Yu’s entire family, a household of loyal heroes, was falsely branded traitors and wiped out without a trace!
Reborn ten years earlier, she sheds the mask of a virtuous wife and transforms into a vengeful demon, tramples the prince’s son, and tears away the fake benevolence of a vile woman.
At court, she joins forces with Prince Su, Rong Yuan, to reopen the case and take aim at the throne.
Her daughter rises from an insecure, chubby girl to a stunning noblewoman, while her son transforms from a little hellion into a young god of war.
When Rong Yuan brings her a phoenix crown and bridal robes, Wen Yu presses a blade to his heart. “Prince Su, if you dare betray my children, I’ll spill your blood across the wedding hall!”
The man chuckles and takes hold of her wrist. “Wen Yu, if the whole world stands against you, I’ll slaughter them all.”
