After He Poisoned Me, I Took the System and Toppled the Marquis's Estate

On her wedding night, the concubine-born Shen Zhiwei was forced by her husband, Gu Jingxuan, to drink poisoned wine, and died with hatred in her heart. As her soul drifted away, she watched her body abandoned in a mass grave. At the brink of death, she bound herself to the Nirvana System: collect her enemies' resentment, and she could rebuild her body and take revenge.

Under the alias "A Chou," she sneaked back into the Marquis's estate as a maid. With silver needles in her left hand, she healed people and earned merit; with poison in her right, she laid her plans one step at a time. She gave the legitimate daughter, Shen Mingshu, an unbearable itch that left her acting like a fool, exposed Gu Jingxuan's smuggling and ruined his career, and drove the Marchioness and her daughter-in-law to turn against each other, ending in the Marchioness's fatal confinement. Once lofty and untouchable, the Marquis's estate now teetered in the web she had carefully spun.

She moved through the shadows, weaving a network of informants and stirring up turmoil in the estate, while uncovering the truth about her birth. As it turned out, she was the illegitimate grandson of the old marquis's mistress, and had been made a scapegoat for the estate's scandal from the moment she was born.

When the Marquis's estate fell and the entire household was convicted, she removed her human-skin mask and stood before Gu Jingxuan. With a smile as sweet as ever, she offered him a cup of poisoned wine laced with datura. "My dear husband, how about you taste the wedding wine this time?"

The wronged soul who crawled out of the mass grave finally found true rebirth atop the ruins of the Marquis's estate.
