【Reborn, glamorous legitimate daughter seeking revenge × restrained top scholar seeking revenge】
【One-on-one romance + Strong heroine + Strong hero + Reborn for revenge + Mutual salvation】
When the new emperor ascended the throne, the Cheng family’s second daughter was offered up by her husband’s family for the emperor’s amusement. Enraged, the empress pushed her off a cliff.
After she lost her sight, she had no idea where she was. A madman imprisoned her in a side residence, where she was forced to serve him day and night and suffered endless abuse.
When she awoke reborn, she had returned to the moment before her wedding, when Su Ziqian had rescued her after she fell into the water.
Faced with insincere marriage proposals and her family’s attempts to persuade her, Cheng Xi sneered.
This time, she would no longer let others control her. She took the initiative to approach Shen Jie, the newly named top scholar whom everyone avoided, though he would one day hold immense power at court.
She beat people up, and he handed her the knife. He plotted a rebellion, and she had his back.
He would kill the emperor and seize the realm; she would wipe out her entire clan.
They had been partners in a perfectly good arrangement. Who could have guessed Shen Jie would suddenly start acting like a spoiled brat?
Fine, then. If he wanted to be difficult, she could put up with it.
Just as all her enemies had been defeated and a happy life seemed within reach, Cheng Xi discovered by chance that the scars beneath her husband’s skin felt exactly like the ones she had touched countless times in the darkness of her previous life!
Horrified, Cheng Xi secretly prepared a divorce agreement and planned to run away as soon as possible.
But when Shen Jie heard the news after storming the imperial palace, he returned home with a bloodstained blade and blocked her at the door. His voice was icy: “My lady, where do you think you’re going?”
