[Reborn female lead + mutual salvation + past and present lives + truly noble male lead + befuddled System + punishing a hypocrite]
Kong Xing’er is tortured to death. When she wakes again, she discovers she has been reborn.
At thirteen, her mother entrusts her to the boy next door, her childhood sweetheart. In her past life, she is polite and knows her place, giving him all the money her mother left her so Zhao Shuhao can study.
Five years later, Zhao Shuhao lives up to everyone’s expectations and passes the palace examination as third-ranked scholar, making a name for himself in the imperial capital. But she is beaten to death simply because she bears the title of his principal wife.
It turns out the night he rises to power is the night she dies. As she dies, she feels no sadness, only deep regret. Could some mistakes really be impossible to undo?
The gentle, refined man she saw, so upright and composed, was all a disguise. As his wife, she can’t let him keep working so hard, so she tears off one of his ears with her dying strength. That way, he won’t have to pretend to be a gentleman every day. It must be exhausting.
When she opens her eyes again, she has returned to the moment just before her mother is about to die.
She hurries to the place where her mother is entrusting her to someone. Just as she is trapped in a desperate situation, a strange voice rings in her mind: “Ding ding ding! Your adorable System is online. Your wish is my command!”
Fine. As long as her mother can live, even if it means...
*
Only after being reborn does she learn that her mother never entrusted her to Zhao Shuhao.
Everything was a lie told by him and his mother.
Fortunately, in this life she’ll act first and cut off every path to success for the Zhao family mother and son.
She’ll repay every grudge and every kindness.
