[Metaphysics + satisfying revenge + punishing scumbags + husband’s groveling redemption + marriage first, love later + equally powerful leads]
For three years, I paved his road to success and helped him rise to the top. Yet on our wedding day, he married into a powerful family instead, treating me like dirt and declaring, “You’re fit only to be a concubine.”
Fine, just fine! Does he really think that I, the orphaned daughter of the Xi family, am some soft persimmon anyone can squeeze?
That very night, I set up an altar, drew talismans, and used my blood to cast a curse, personally cutting off his path to glory and sending him tumbling from the clouds into the mire, never to rise again!
But that was only the beginning. My true enemy is the powerful clan that slaughtered my entire family! I need a blade, one sharp enough to throw the world into chaos!
So I set my sights on the only man in Great Yan with a different surname from the imperial house: Lang Huan, a regent with a mighty army and an aura of death, who is himself afflicted by a “death curse.”
The world calls him the “Living Yama.” I see him as the perfect blade. I’ll play this game myself, and I’ll be the one to “borrow” this Living Yama.
I want to see how a lone woman from a mystic sect, driven by blood vengeance, and a cornered dragon with little time left can join forces and turn the capital upside down!
