[Satisfying Inner-Household Battles + Substitute Bride + Face-Slapping and Punishing Scumbags + Marriage First, Love Later + Political Scheming and Comeback + Everyone’s Regret]
On the day she marries in someone else’s place to bring good fortune, Li Zhaoyue is shoved into a funeral hall to be buried alive alongside the dead. Who could have guessed the dead young master would sit right up? She’s cursed so that anyone who insults her coughs up blood, and anyone who plots against her ends up in trouble. From wicked servants in the marquis’s residence to powerful members of the Liang family, she beats every last one of them into begging on their knees. But when she uncovers her birth mother’s old case, she discovers that she and the young master have long been sacrificial pawns in a shocking game...
All of the capital laughs at Li Zhaoyue, calling her a husband-killing calamity. The next moment, those who insult her break their legs and lose their looks, while those who harm her see their families disgraced and ruined! She rushes into a sea of flames carrying an ancestral tablet, kicks down the Li family’s gates, takes charge of the marquis’s household, and even receives a protective waist token from the Grand Princess herself. This so-called calamity is actually a mirror that exposes the wicked and strikes down the black-hearted!
She was an orphaned substitute bride whose stepmother poisoned her future and left her voiceless, yet she tears through every obstacle thanks to her ability to turn malice back on its sender! The dead young master helps her rise to power, the Blackfeather Guards obey her commands, and the capital’s noblewomen gang up on her only to be publicly humiliated and sent crashing down. But what the Duke of Liang’s household truly wants to cover up isn’t her fate. It’s the truth behind a bloody case from fifteen years ago...
