Killed in the Dungeon, the Reborn Legitimate Daughter Slaughters Her Entire Rotten Family

In her previous life, while her mother was pregnant with her, her scoundrel of a father brought the pregnant Madam Liu into the manor and elevated her to the rank of favored concubine. Little did anyone expect Madam Liu to play the pig to eat the tiger: she was respectful and deferential to the principal wife, but in private, she could hardly wait for her to die. Later, the two women gave birth at the same time. The principal wife died young, and Madam Liu seized all her dowry.

She had been frail and sickly since childhood, beset by illness and misfortune. Her scoundrel of a father believed the rumors that the child would bring ruin to her parents, and that she would be better off left to grow up in the countryside. So she spent more than a decade enduring hardship there.

Only after she saved Madam Lu, the wife of the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, did she get the chance to return to the manor. Along the way, she also met Gu Yuze, an ungrateful wretch whom she helped earn top honors in the imperial examinations and rise to great heights. Yet he ended up in bed with her half-sister.

The only person who had ever treated her well was her grandmother. But, swayed and deceived by those around her, her grandmother grew displeased with her, and they drifted further apart. In the end, Madam Liu also had her grandmother killed.

And her maternal grandfather's family was utterly innocent. They objected to the way her father's family treated her and filed a complaint at court, only to be falsely accused of colluding with a foreign power and plotting rebellion. The emperor ordered the entire family executed.

Her half-sister also schemed against her at every turn, stealing her fiancé, having her assaulted, infecting her with a disgraceful disease, and tricking her into taking a fake pregnancy drug. Her reputation was ruined, and she eventually died a miserable death in a dungeon.

Everyone had betrayed her! She refused to accept it!

Reborn into a new life, she would slaughter every scoundrel who had caused her death in her previous life!

And protect those she was determined to protect!
