In her previous life, Shen Tingyun covered the Marquis’s household debts, paved the way for its officials, raised her younger siblings, and helped her fiancé seize power. In the end, her entire family pushed her forward to take the blame for the capital crime of illegally trafficking military weapons. Only after drinking the poisoned wine did she understand: they weren’t family, but a pack of creditors waiting to divide up the spoils.
Reborn on the day she was ambushed, she knocked out the coachman, captured the bandits alive, and used military crossbow bolts to stop Pei Shenheng, a junior official of the Supreme Court.
In this life, she’ll collect every debt, one by one, and sever every tie of gratitude, bit by bit. Whoever took her dowry will pay with their life. Whoever tells her to put the greater good first will see her tear their grand plans apart first.
