Tags: Reborn for revenge · A satisfying, ruthless revenge story · Decisive and merciless · Political scheming and power struggles · Face-slapping and putting villains in their place
In his previous life, Pei Zhaoheng, a loyal and patriotic general guarding the north, was betrayed by his younger brother, Pei Jizhou, who leaked secrets; poisoned by his fiancée, Wen Shuying; and framed by the prince, Huangfu Zheng. The entire Pei family was executed, their blood staining the winter snow of the capital. As he died, he swore: In my next life, every debt of blood will be repaid.
Reborn at fifteen, before tragedy strikes, Pei Zhaoheng assumes the identity of Pei Jizhou, bides his time, and lays an inescapable trap. He face-slaps his treacherous younger brother at the academy, takes first place in the imperial examinations and enters the heart of the court, then wins against overwhelming odds on the frontier and earns renown across the land. Through political maneuvering, he drives his enemies into a desperate corner.
When Pei Jizhou falls to his knees and begs for mercy, Pei Zhaoheng says coldly, “When you slaughtered my entire family, did you ever think of our brotherhood?” Wen Shuying wails in remorse and pain. He replies calmly, “I only want you dead.” The hypocritical prince is deposed and imprisoned until his death, while the family of the man who framed him is wiped out.
The revenge is swift and unflinching, with one satisfying moment after another and no frustrating delays. From a bloody road of vengeance to absolute power, he ultimately becomes a legend of ruthless conquest in an age of peace and prosperity.
