[Reborn for revenge + strong heroine and satisfying payback + episodic stories + a sickly, powerful chancellor + mutual salvation]
In her previous life, Xie Heng was the legitimate daughter of a marquis's household. Her own mother gouged out her kneecaps and made them into lanterns to light the way for her half-sister. She died with grievances left unresolved.
When she opened her eyes again, she was in the body of a princess sent abroad for a political marriage and about to be sacrificed. She had returned, consumed by hatred.
She'll tear apart the vicious servants, trample her half-sister, drive her mother mad, and bring down the marquis's household. Everyone who ever hurt her will pay, one by one, on their knees!
Everyone thinks she's a pushover they can manipulate. Only the sickly, scheming Chancellor Pei sees the viciousness in her eyes.
He says, “I'll help you get revenge. I'll help you turn this world upside down.”
Later, she stands in the imperial court and overturns this cruel, devouring world. And that man is always at her back, her strongest support.
Nice! So wonderful!
