[Reborn + Alternate Setting + Not a Pure Couple]
In my previous life, I gave my all to support my poor scholar husband, pouring hundreds of thousands of gold and silver from my family’s coffers into helping him rise to prominence.
But once I was on my last legs and could no longer provide him with money to advance his career, he turned around and handed me over to a high-ranking official for his amusement.
My unborn child died a horrific death. I endured endless humiliation, and even after I died, I wasn’t worthy of a humble coffin. They wrapped my body in a straw mat and tossed it into a mass grave, leaving wild dogs to gnaw on my bones.
Thankfully, a childhood companion found my remains, allowing me to be buried properly.
I thought Heaven had taken pity on me and granted me rebirth. Only later did I learn that someone had sacrificed his own fate to send me back to that time.
In this life, I put away all my sincerity and pretended to be a gentle, sweet, and fragile courtesan, deliberately drawing near to Prince Jun Yiheng, whose power reached across the court.
I schemed my way into the prince’s residence and bore a child of the imperial family. Then, using his power, I exacted a brutal reckoning from every enemy from my previous life, making them wish they were dead.
My goal had always been to claim the empress dowager’s seat in Cining Palace.
Jun Yiheng loved me with all his heart, but imperial power would always be his bottom line. The moment I threatened his authority, he would immediately pull away and regain his composure.
When I finally reached the pinnacle of power, he knelt beside the couch in Cining Palace and gently clasped my hand between his fingers. “Weimei, now that your revenge is complete, are you satisfied?”
Looking at his snow-white hair, I felt a lump in my throat and could only say, “I’m sorry.”
On the road to revenge, I did right by the world. He was the only one I wronged.
