Reborn: The Legitimate Daughter of the Chancellor's Road to Revenge

Reborn as a Maid: The Chancellor’s Daughter’s Road to Revenge

The thirty-third year of Yong’an, late autumn.

In a pile of straw in the chancellor’s woodshed, A Wan breathed her last. Her hand clutched half a moldy barley cake, but what appeared before her eyes was the image of her mistress, Su Qingyuan, in prison clothes, beaten to death with clubs.

As the personal maid of Su Qingyuan, the chancellor’s legitimate daughter, A Wan had watched her mistress fall from the clouds into the mire. She had seen her mistress devote herself to supporting the Third Prince, Xiao Yu, only to be betrayed by him and Su Lianyue, the daughter of a concubine. She had seen the entire chancellor’s household branded traitors, its men beheaded and its women enslaved. She had seen Su Lianyue sever the tendons in her hands and throw her into the woodshed to die alone.

“A Wan, if there is another life, don’t follow me again...” Her mistress’s dying words became the sharpest thorn in A Wan’s heart. As she lay dying, she swore through her tears and blood: if she could start over, she would protect her mistress at all costs and make that treacherous pair pay in blood!

When she opened her eyes again, A Wan was lying on a small bed in the chancellor’s rear courtyard. Outside the window were the peach blossoms of the year she turned fifteen. Her mistress was still alive, the household was safe, and Xiao Yu was just stepping through its gates for the first time, wearing a false smile.

In this life, A Wan hid the hatred in her eyes and became the most inconspicuous maid. Using her memories of her past life, she quietly changed the course of fate:

- She intercepted the poisoned tea Su Lianyue sent ahead of time, saving her mistress from an assassination attempt;

- She pretended to side with her stepmother, secretly gathering evidence that they had been embezzling household funds and framing the principal wife;

- Before her mistress could “bump into” Xiao Yu, she deliberately knocked over a teacup, ruining their carefully arranged encounter
