[Palace Intrigue + Household Intrigue + Reborn Heroine + Mind Reading + Face-Slapping and Crushing Scumbags + Space]

In her previous life, Su Nuannuan, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo’s household, was attacked by assassins on her way back to the capital from the border. At the critical moment, Chen Jinghe, a scholar traveling to the capital to take the imperial examinations, took a sword for her and saved her life. To repay him, Su Nuannuan married him. What she never realized was that the whole thing had been a carefully orchestrated scheme from beginning to end.

Only as she lay dying did Su Nuannuan learn the truth:

Chen Jinghe was a prince who had grown up among commoners. He had taken a sword for Su Nuannuan and married her to gain her family’s wealth and command of its 300,000 troops. He used the Su family as a stepping stone to the throne, then massacred the entire clan after becoming emperor.

Even worse, Su Nuannuan’s sister-in-law, Liu Qianxue, once her closest friend, was Chen Jinghe’s beloved first love. Her elder brother’s two children were actually their illegitimate offspring.

To please Liu Qianxue and their two children, Chen Jinghe stabbed Su Nuannuan’s newborn son himself, then had the baby hacked to pieces and fed to wild dogs…

In the end, they gouged out Su Nuannuan’s eyes, peeled off her face, and cut out her heart before leaving her to die in a mass grave…

…

When Su Nuannuan opened her eyes again, she had been reborn to the moment before the scumbag took a sword for her. She smiled, a bloodthirsty smile. At last, Heaven had opened its eyes. In this life, she would make the scumbag and the wicked woman pay for their crimes in blood!

The Fifth Prince, Nangong Ye, had no interest in women. He was a ruthless, bloodthirsty living demon king, and all the people of the Nanxuan Kingdom trembled at the mere mention of him. Yet he treated Su Nuannuan differently from everyone else…
