The Reborn Legitimate Daughter Returns to the Estate and Goes on a Killing Spree While the Regent Sharpens His Blade

Song Shuning is reborn, only to have her birth mother drug her with a mind-bending incense from the start, dose her with a muscle-relaxing powder, and bribe three thugs to ruin her reputation.

She stabs a vital pressure point with a silver hairpin to force herself awake, then wields it as a weapon, killing the thugs and butchering the hidden guards!

They think they can send a broken-down carriage with a group of rough servants to bring her home in the middle of the night? She beats a drum to plead her case, forcing the Marquis of Yongning to come in person and welcome her home in grand style.

Her biological brother wants her dead, so she cripples one of his legs, then turns around and schemes to drain the marquis's household of its wealth to pay for his treatment.

Everyone is waiting for the legitimate eldest daughter, newly returned from the countryside, to be cast aside. Instead, with a cloud of poison, she makes her brother have himself flayed alive and drives the matriarch mad at the hands of her own daughter!

The Marquis of Yongning's household is in turmoil, but she leisurely counts her banknotes: "Don't panic. The show is only just beginning."

The marquis breaks down and falls to his knees: "What do you want? The title? The family fortune?!"

Song Shuning wipes her bloodstained silver hairpin. Her peach-blossom eyes curve into a smile:

"I want justice for what you did to my mother sixteen years ago, the empress's life, and... the vast lands of this Great Sheng Empire!"

The cold-blooded regent stands behind her, sword in hand, astride his horse: "Whatever she wants, I'll give her. Anyone who dares stand in her way dies without mercy."
