[Reborn + the whole family’s regret and redemption + sweet romance + competing for love]
Song Yun, the legitimate daughter of a general’s household, is unexpectedly robbed of her virginity before marriage and becomes the wanton woman everyone in the capital curses.
She intends to end it all, but her fiancé, Yang Mu, holds nothing against her. “I’ll marry you. We’ll be just like we were before.”
So she willingly gives up the position of wife to become a concubine and marries into the marquis’s household.
She even shamelessly asks her father to help her husband make a name for himself in battle and become one of the capital’s new elite.
Everyone praises the young marquis’s rare virtue and deep devotion. Song Yun, too, believes she can look forward to a harmonious, happy life.
But who could have guessed that Yang Mu would treat her with tenderness and care in public, yet find every possible way to torment her in private?
“Your body is tainted. I’m willing to give you a title, so you should use every trick in the book to serve me, like a girl in a brothel.”
Every day, Song Yun wishes she were dead.
Half a year later, her elder brother dies in battle, but Yang Mu forbids her from returning to the family home to pay her respects.
Song Yun is shoved into a pond, and she dies along with her unborn child.
Only as she lies dying does she learn that everything she suffered was part of a scheme by her cousin and Yang Mu!
When she opens her eyes again, her fury overcomes the aphrodisiac in her body, and she plunges a hairpin into the one who ruined her virtue, killing him.
From then on, she takes on the scumbag and his family, exposes her scheming cousin for who she really is, and makes them pay their blood debt!

Everyone knows that Prince Su, Zhao Jing, who controls half the realm, was gravely wounded in battle. He is never without medicine, and, nearing thirty, has yet to marry. In private, people say he despises women.
But no one knows that, in the prime of his life, a little girl once confessed to him with a flower-adorned hairpin.
Years later, when he sees her again and learns she wants to break off her engagement, Zhao Jing can no longer sit still.
Under the pretense of looking after her, he drives away every eligible young man who comes near her.
Watching the marquis’s family plead for her forgiveness, he asks, “How would you like them to die?”
When everything is settled, Zhao Jing does something entirely out of character and corners her. “It’s not too much for me to ask for a little reward, is it?”
“Uncle, what kind of reward do you want?”
“You.”
Beautiful, all five stars
