    Reader note

    Strongly recommend the super cool daughter-in-law rebirth Gong Douwen! In her previous life, the heroine was framed by her concubine, let down by the emperor, and her whole family died unjustly. Reborn and returned to the starting point of destiny, completely transformed into a black man, with his IQ becoming a god! Both sides of the house and palace fights are fully open, and the slaps in the face are fast and accurate. There is no sloppy emotion, no mother-like softness. It's fun to abuse scum, seize power, and protect relatives! It's fun from beginning to end, revenge never lasts overnight, Gong Douwen's ceiling is high!
