My Ex's Father Is a Black-Hearted Lotus

Ji Huan was straightforward and carefree all her life. Only after she died did she learn that she was a cannon-fodder character in a story. The husband who had cruelly strangled her with his own hands, Xie Yuqing, her cousin and childhood companion, was the male lead of the story. He had concealed his true nature and bided his time from childhood, all so he could use her to wipe out her and her family in one fell swoop. The Ji clan was branded traitors who had brought disaster upon the country and exterminated. Their corpses were left exposed for three days. Xie Yuqing rose to prominence on the strength of this achievement, becoming a marquis and then a minister. On the night she died and her clan was destroyed, Ji Huan was reborn at eighteen, the night before she was to be engaged to Xie Yuqing. This time, she set her sights on the most mysterious and youngest prince of a different surname in the Li Dynasty, a man who appeared only briefly in the book but always left a deep impression: Xie Shen, Xie Yuqing's adoptive father. After painstakingly earning Xie Shen's trust and breaking off her engagement to Xie Yuqing, she accidentally discovered that the mastermind who had meticulously plotted every move and laid a vast net to ensnare the Ji clan was none other than Prince Yingqi, Xie Shen! Ji Huan: "...Oh, how wonderful!" Should she run for her life? Or run for her life? Or run for her life? Xie Shen, Prince Yingqi, joined the army at twelve. With his blade in hand, he charged across mountains of corpses and seas of blood, pacifying the Western Ridge and subduing Nanyue. He forged a fearsome reputation as the unrivaled God of Slaughter throughout the land. He bore a deep blood feud, and countless bodies and vengeful spirits lay in his wake. His name as the God of Slaughter resounded like thunder, striking fear into everyone beneath the heavens. A diviner once prophesied that Xie Shen was consumed by bloodlust and would suffer its backlash, never living past the age of thirty-two. So Xie Shen killed gods when he met them and Buddhas when he met them, slaughtering his enemies and everyone who stood between him and his vengeance. In the end, he died on the eve of becoming regent and prince. The one who killed him was his adoptive son, Xie Yuqing. Reborn, Xie Shen happened to encounter Xie Yuqing and the young girl Ji Huan, who had come with the Ji clan to break off their engagement. His phoenix eyes moved between them. "...Interesting." Later, after going to great lengths to break off her engagement with Xie Yuqing, and discovering Xie Shen's true nature, Ji Huan tried to flee. But Xie Shen hooked an arm around her waist and stopped her. His dangerous, captivating voice rang in her ear: "Huanhuan, trying to run? Did I give you permission?"
