The moment her half-sister forces her to drink poisoned wine and the scumbag emperor looks on coldly as the Su family is condemned to execution, Su Zhijue believes her life is over. But when she opens her eyes, she has been reborn on the very day she was to enter the palace and receive her title! And there she runs into the mad Seventh Prince, Xiao Jueheng, who has memories of his own past life.
Armed with secret manuals on spices and poisons, along with a map of the palace’s network of informants, she tears apart her scheming half-sister Su Ruowei, poisons the arrogant Consort Liu Yushu, and kicks the heartless emperor aside, unleashing a storm of bloodshed in the harem. Xiao Jueheng stands behind her with a bloodied sword in hand, his lovesick eyes filled with obsession. “Zhijue, I failed to protect you in our past life. In this life, anyone who lays a hand on you will have their whole family slaughtered!”
Their pact, “You help me take revenge, and I’ll help you seize the throne,” has barely been signed when he secretly disbands the harem and kills everyone who covets her, doting on her until she is the one and only empress. A scheming ancient court drama full of careful moves, with two reborn leads and all the satisfaction of putting villains in their place! The Poison Empress wields spices to slay her enemies, while the mad prince fights for the throne for her. In this life, he offers her an empire, and every blood debt will be repaid. No one will ever hurt her again!
