[Reborn for Revenge + Satisfying Revenge on Scumbags + Political Intrigue and Sweet Romance]
In her previous life, Su Yao was the naive, foolish legitimate eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's household. She trusted her half-sister Su Wan and was infatuated with her fiance, Xiao Yi, only to end up with her family destroyed and her heart pierced by a storm of swords. Her grandmother died horribly in a prison cart, her parents' blood stained the execution ground, and everything she cherished became a stepping stone for her enemies to rise to power.
“If I get another life, I'll make you pay in blood!”
With blood all around her, she closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she had been reborn on the eve of her coming-of-age ceremony!
This time, she cast aside her naivety, with only a cold gleam in her eyes:
- Poisoned soup from her half-sister? She accepts it and turns it into evidence, letting her reap what she sowed.
- A scumbag's false show of affection? She rejects his marriage proposal in front of everyone, humiliating him.
- Hidden dangers threatening her family? She plans ahead to avert them and protects everyone who truly cares for her!
She proceeds cautiously along the path of revenge, but unexpectedly catches the attention of Prince Jing, Gu Yuan, whose power holds sway over the court.
Rumor has it that this imperial uncle is ruthless, bloodthirsty, and indifferent to women, yet he treats her differently:
“Miss Su needs help? You can borrow my military forces.”
“Someone bullied you? I'll break every bone in his body for you.”
“Revenge is getting boring? How about... marrying me and ruling the realm together?”
Su Yao: “Your Highness, I'm focused on revenge. I have no interest in love.”
Gu Yuan pins her against the palace wall, his gaze burning. “It doesn't matter. I'll wait for you. Once your revenge is done, you can take your time falling in love with me.”
From then on, everyone in the capital knows: the Duke of Zhenguo's legitimate eldest daughter has changed. She holds a blade in her hand and steel in her eyes, with Prince Jing behind her, ready to overturn the court for her.
