Reborn Noble Daughter: Bloodbath at the Marquis's Estate

In her previous life, Su Mingwei, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's household, was framed by her half-sister Su Mingrou, who had her eyes gouged out, her tongue cut off, and her face disfigured before poisoning her to death. Reborn before her coming-of-age ceremony, she discovers that her father is colluding with the enemy and that her mother's death is shrouded in doubt. To seek revenge, she pretends to be meek while secretly gathering evidence. She ruins Su Mingrou's engagement, uses the crown prince to suppress political rivals, and dismantles her stepmother's power.

When the Marquis's household is accused of treason, she personally presents the evidence that brings down her father. When the crown prince tries to silence her, she joins forces with the censorate to impeach him and allies with Xiao Jingyan, Prince of Zhenbei, to topple the crown prince's faction. As she investigates further, she discovers that the turmoil at court stems from the martial world organization Netherworld Pavilion. She also unexpectedly reunites with her long-lost younger brother, Chu Li, the young master of Netherworld Pavilion, and exposes the true culprit behind her mother's murder: the empress's elder brother.

Xiao Jingyan stages a coup, and Ye Wuhen, a blood heir to the imperial family, ascends the throne. Su Mingwei helps the new emperor purge the traitors and is made Grand Princess, in charge of the Phoenix Ritual Office. She is later crowned empress, introduces new policies, and establishes a system of female officials. Ten years later, her twins with Ye Wuhen ascend the throne, ushering in an age of prosperity. Her story is recorded in The Strategies of the Legitimate Daughter and becomes a legend for generations to come.
