[Reborn for revenge + maximum satisfaction + power over the capital + devoted love and a happy ending]
In her previous life, Shen Qingyan was the most foolish legitimate daughter of a marquis in the capital.
She trusted her sweet and gentle half-sister and fell for a hypocritical top scholar.
She personally handed over the marquis household’s military power, its ancestral fortune, and all the glory she had ever known.
In the end…
Her parents were falsely accused of treason, and the entire family was executed!
Her elder brother died on the battlefield, his body never found, and was branded a traitor!
Her face was disfigured, she was forced to drink poison, and she died in agony after being imprisoned in the cold palace!
Only as she lay dying did she learn that the regent Xiao Jue, the cold and powerful man who ruled the court and whom she had always shunned, had protected her all her life. He had slaughtered her enemies for her, then lived and died alone, consumed by regret.
Returning to life with vengeance in her heart, she awakens on the day she was framed in public at her coming-of-age ceremony!
Her half-sister puts on a show of innocence and misery? Shen Qingyan tears off her fake-sweet mask in front of everyone!
The scumbag pretends to defend her? She publicly breaks off the engagement and crushes his ambition to climb the social ladder!
Vermin stirring up trouble in the inner household? She uproots them all and purges the marquis residence!
Corrupt officials plotting in court? She plans every move and makes them pay for their blood debts!
In this life, she is cold, unsentimental, and decisive. She protects her family, seizes power, and avenges her blood feud!
The only exception is the aloof regent she missed out on in her previous life. This time, she approaches him first, and they save each other in turn.
Everyone says the regent is cold, bloodthirsty, and uninterested in women.
But no one knows that he gives every ounce of his tenderness and devotion in this life to Shen Qingyan alone.
From then on, the capital is swept up in turmoil, and the legitimate daughter shakes the world.
He commands the court and ensures she lives without worry.
She is peerlessly radiant and stands beside him through a glorious age.
