[Great Han] The Huo Clan Chronicles

Her name was Huo Xian, the wife of Huo Guang, who held power over the court. Everyone said a man should marry a virtuous wife; if he married someone like her, even his entire clan would be doomed.

Huo Xian opened her eyes and found herself once again the dowry maid of Donglu Shi. At the time, she had no surname. Donglu Shi called her A-Xian. Huo Xian thought that in her previous life, she had indeed harmed Huo Guang too deeply. He had given his surname to a slave like her and kept her by his side, yet she had taken advantage of his power and acted recklessly, until she had no scruples left.

She had killed the empress and then tried to kill the crown prince. When her actions were exposed, Huo Guang had been furious, yet he still hadn't divorced her or cast her out to quell the uproar.

His repeated indulgence only made her more brazen each time, until she grew old and watched all her children and grandchildren be executed.

He had thought he saved her from the mud, but she was the mud all along.

This time, she would behave herself and stay a slave, giving him a clean reputation in return.

But the man who held power once again placed that power in her hands.

(The protagonist, Huo Xian, is reborn, but being reborn cannot change her nature: her wickedness and his indulgence are both recorded in the history books.)
