[Both leads are reborn + political intrigue + sweet romance + black-lotus heroine + obsessive powerful official]
As poisoned wine slid down her throat, Shen Qinglan finally saw through the hypocrisy of her half-sister, Shen Yurou, and the cold-heartedness of her fiance, the Third Prince. She died consumed by hatred, swearing through her tears of blood: If she were ever given another life, she would make everyone who had wronged her suffer beyond redemption!
When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the age of fifteen. This time, she shed her naivete and buried her devotion, becoming a vengeful demoness returned from hell. She battled her stepmother, tore into her half-sister, and crushed the scumbag, advancing step by step with every move calculated. She swore to collect the debts of her past life, with interest!
She thought she was fighting this battle alone. She had no idea that Xie Wuji, the cold-blooded regent who wielded power over the court and terrified everyone, had also returned with memories of both lifetimes and quietly taken his place behind her.
In their previous life, he gathered her remains and slaughtered her enemies. In this life, he came with a blade in hand, vowing to protect her for the rest of her life.
He taught her statecraft, gave her sharp weapons, and let her stir up turmoil at court. He cherished her to the bone and indulged her until she became a demon. She saw him as her sharpest blade and most dependable ally, but never dared investigate whether the depths of his eyes concealed schemes or sincere love.
Not until the man clamped her tightly in his arms did she hear him murmur in a voice bordering on madness: "Shen Qinglan, if you want the empire, I'll take it for you. But if you dare to run..."
"I'll break your wings, crush your hopes, and keep you imprisoned in my arms for all eternity. You'll never go anywhere."
