Dotingly favoring a concubine and neglecting his wife + revenge + palace and household intrigue + reborn
In her previous life, Wei Yi was a noble young lady of Nanyang Commandery, the second child in her family. But on the day she was born, Old Madam Wei injured her leg. A revered monk declared the girl inauspicious, and the Second Miss was frail and rumored to be mentally ill, so she was sent to live at her aunt's estate to recuperate. She returned to the Minister's residence at the age of twelve, only to be framed by her father's illegitimate daughter and accused of poisoning her legitimate mother. Her father confined her to the courtyard. At the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet in the seventh month, her grandmother, Madam Song, took Wei Yi along. Wei Yi suddenly went mad and stabbed the Empress Dowager, bringing disaster upon her grandmother as well. From then on, her grandmother never recovered. At thirteen, Wei Yi was killed with a single stroke by the young general to whom she had been betrothed, right there on the main street. She died amid the disdainful stares of everyone. Wei Yi couldn't understand why this had happened to her. She refused to accept it!
Only after her death did Wei Yi learn the truth. Her reputation as a cursed, ill-omened girl had been spread by the very father who seemed to love her most. Her mother had been secretly harmed during pregnancy, and the culprit had been a concubine's daughter in disguise. Every one of these schemes had been carried out by her smiling, treacherous father so that his childhood sweetheart could become the legitimate wife of the Wei family. But Wei Yi was reborn. This time, the Minister's residence, Wei Changtai, and Wei Ying would all pay their blood debts. I will rise to the pinnacle of power.
Kill any god who stands in my way, and any Buddha who blocks my path.
"Wei Yi, have you gone mad? You actually cut someone!"
"Don't rush, Father. You're on the list too." With that, she raised her blade and charged at Wei Changtai.
But when she turned around, she got involved with a lunatic.
Wei Yi: "Block my way, and you die."
Yuwen Zhao: "Be my crown princess. Perhaps we can work together and both come out ahead."
"Good boy, what crown princess? I'm the Empress Dowager of the Great An Dynasty."
