Also known as: “Died Miserably in Her Past Life, Now Her Ex-Husband and Scumbag Father Get Their Comeuppance!”
[Alternate-history Republican era x rebirth and revenge x tender secret love x domineering warlord x the ex-husband’s whole family gets their comeuppance]
In her previous life, Ruan Yilin thought she was the happiest woman in the world. She single-handedly shouldered the burden of the Ruan family’s soy sauce shop, paid off her father’s gambling debts, bought flowers and jewelry for her cousin, furnished a villa for her younger cousin, and gave everything she had to her husband.
It wasn’t until the day she handed over the recipe that she realized how terribly wrong she’d been. She died unjustly, without ever learning the truth.
Her father and her paternal aunt had personally helped plot every last scheme.
Only then did she learn that her paternal aunt wasn’t her aunt, her cousin wasn’t her cousin, her husband was actually someone else’s husband, and her father was someone else’s father.
She had lived in the utopia they built, learning the truth only as she lay dying.
It all begins again.
Reborn on the day her mother was poisoned to death, she secretly swears that this time, everything will be decided by her. She’ll trap them all inside the utopia she creates and make them pay a hundredfold, a thousandfold.
To that end, she lays one trap after another, sending them tumbling into the abyss one by one.
Yet many unexpected variables emerge amid this storm of blood and violence.
Her shameless, lecherous ex-husband.
The aloof young master who silently protects her.
The domineering, unruly young marshal.
The situation is in turmoil and nothing is certain. Who will she join hands with?
(No spoilers.)
