In her previous life, Shen Qingci was the legitimate daughter of a marquis's household. She trusted her half-sister and childhood sweetheart, giving them everything, only to have her dowry stolen, her reputation ruined, her family brought to ruin, and herself poisoned and left to die in the cold palace.
Her half-sister laughed triumphantly. “Everything you have should have been mine.”
Her scumbag of a man watched coldly. “You were of no use to me anymore.”
She died consumed by flames and hatred.
Then she was reborn, three days before her coming-of-age ceremony.
In this life, she casts off her infatuation, arms herself with a venomous heart, and lets her sharp edge show!
• Her half-sister plays the innocent white lotus? Shen Qingci exposes her on the spot and ruins her reputation!
• Her scumbag lover showers her with sweet words? She breaks off the engagement and makes him a laughingstock across the capital!
• A cruel servant abuses their position? She has them beaten and sold off, not one spared!
She plans her every move, takes charge of the household, protects her loved ones, stirs up the political scene, and tears into her enemies without mercy.
But why does Prince Su, a cold, taciturn man with power over the whole court, keep stepping in front of her?
“Anyone who dares touch my woman will have to answer to me first.”
Shen Qingci: “Your Highness, we hardly know each other.”
Xiao Jue chuckles and draws closer. “We may not know each other now, but we'll become quite familiar after spending every day and night together.”
From then on, he has her back as she seeks revenge. She seizes power, and he clears the way.
As the scumbag and his vile lover kneel and beg for mercy, she watches coldly.
“The pain you inflicted on me in my previous life, I'll repay a hundredfold in this one!”
