In her previous life, Yan Lingyu damaged her health in battle. All she wanted was to retire, get married, and have a little ball of fun.
Li Shao, the newly appointed top scholar, had been carefully chosen by her and her family. He seemed like a perfect match.
Who knew that the bastard had such wild ambitions? He teamed up with the princess and the emperor, falsely accusing the Yan family of treason, then secretly had her entire family executed without her knowing.
She only learned what had happened when the princess came to gloat in front of her.
That was unforgivable.
Seven months pregnant, Yan Lingyu grabbed a knife and hacked the princess to death, then cut down the servant who tried to stop her. She made it all the way to Li Shao, but before her blade could fall, an arrow struck her. She died.
Then she was reborn.
This time, she planned to work with her father to make the treason charge real, take over the empire, and slice that bastard Li Shao in half for good measure.
Then she discovered that her father had been planning a rebellion even before she had.
So it hadn't all been for nothing in her previous life.
And Li Shao had spent half his life begging for this chance to be reborn, too.
In his previous life, he had gone to every length to keep her from being dragged down by her family, only for everything to end in tragedy.
This time around, he decided to tell Yan Lingyu everything and support whatever she wanted.
Yan Lingyu: I'm never playing with a mute again.
