In her previous life, Su Jinse, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, had her tongue cut out by her half-sister and was made into a human pig. She watched helplessly as the scoundrel Third Prince Xiao Qi made her half-sister empress. On a snowy night in the Cold Palace, only her deranged imperial uncle, Xiao Yu, came through the blood. He slaughtered three thousand imperial guards, then carried her corpse into the flames with him.
Reborn, she returned to the time just before her fifteenth birthday. This time, she tore apart the wicked servants, trampled the scoundrel, shoved her half-sister into the arms of a wastrel, and made her venomous stepmother taste what it was like to bleed from every orifice!
At the broken engagement, she smashed their betrothal jade in front of everyone. “The Third Prince? Even if you gave him to me, I’d think he was filthy!”
When the Buddhist hall was set ablaze, she deliberately left behind a sachet. “Uncle, I’ll help you break your reputation for never getting involved with women.”
The regent, rumored to be bloodthirsty and woman-hating, caught her by the wrist in the dead of night. The broken-blade scar over his left brow glowed red. “Little fox, who dares lay a hand on my woman?”
She excelled in both medicine and poison, carefully plotting to protect her loved ones and seize military power. He was fiercely protective, offering her ten thousand miles of empire as a bride price, asking only that she look his way.
From fighting for power within the household to court intrigue in the imperial capital, from being made a human pig in the Cold Palace to ruling the realm as empress, Su Jinse carried the blood debt of her enemies and smiled as Xiao Yu knelt on one knee. “The empire is yours, and so am I.”
But when she handed him a divorce agreement, the man who had always been ruthless actually turned red-eyed. “You want a divorce? Only if I’m dead.”
Su Jinse curved her lips. “Uncle, your road to winning me back has only just begun.”
