Su Jinning died once.
In her previous life, she was a hero who assisted the virtuous king in ascending the throne, and was a virtuous empress with a mother-in-law in the world. She won over courtiers for him, defeated his political opponents, and devoted all her efforts to him. Until that day - she watched her three-year-old son being drunk by a glass of poisonous wine, heard her most trusted "best friend" sneer in her ears, and was executed by her husband for "murdering the emperor's heir".
When she died with hatred, she swore: If there is an afterlife, everyone must pay with blood!
When she opened her eyes again, she went back to the time when she was fifteen years old and not yet married. Her stepmother is still planning how to ruin her reputation, her stepsister is still coveting her marriage, and the man who pushed her into the abyss in her previous life, the wise king Xiao Jingxun, is smiling at her as warmly as jade, completely unaware that she has experienced a lifetime of betrayal and killing.
After re-living her life, she is no longer the pawn at the mercy of others.
Xiao Yanheng, Marquis of Yongning, who was called the "Living King of Hell" by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, was the cold-faced powerful official who stood on the execution ground with his head held high in his previous life until his death. In this life, she wanted to cross him off the list of enemies and turn him into the sharpest knife in her hand.
"Prince Xiao, I want to make a deal with you."
"What deal?"
"I will help you bring down the wise king, and you will protect me."
"... Why do you think I will believe you?"
Su Jinning raised the eyes that had hidden the vicissitudes of life for two lifetimes and smiled slightly: "Because his enemy is you, and my enemy is also him. Isn't this enough?"
"Su Jinning, who are you?"
"A man who crawled back from hell to collect debts."
"Then after you collect your debt, are you willing to stay in the world?"
