    Reader note

    In her past life, the female protagonist was poisoned and murdered by her beloved but scumbag husband. Only before her death did she discover that he was the mastermind behind the deaths of her entire family. Reborn, she returns with a heart full of hatred, vowing to make her scumbag husband pay for his crimes in blood. The keyword "ruthless" in the book directly corresponds to your description; the heart-wrenching pain of being killed in her past life and the exhilarating sense of revenge after her rebirth are both written very well.

    Married for three years, my wife has only let me touch her three times. Twice of those times, she was fully clothed. Last night, I tried to hug her, and she said, "If you dare touch me, I'll sue you for marital assault." I asked her what if polygamy were allowed? She sneered, "I'd rather be someone's nineteenth concubine than marry you." I didn't sleep a wink that night, and the next day I calmly drafted the divorce papers. She glanced at them and scoffed, "You really want to?" I didn't say anything, just turned to the last page of the agreement—in the property division section, after her name, were seven words: "Leaves with nothing, no objection." Her smile froze on her face.
