In her previous life, she was the only daughter of the prime minister of the Celestial Dynasty. But she couldn’t escape the whims of fate and became a pawn in her prince husband’s long-planned revenge against her father. Her family was destroyed, and she resolutely drank the poisoned wine.
In this life, she survived disaster and reunited with her first love, becoming the revered Witch Queen of the Mingyi Kingdom. She cherishes her happy, sweet life and wants nothing more than to live peacefully, have two adorable children, and grow old hand in hand with the man she loves.
But peace never lasts. The Celestial Dynasty invades, her husband is captured while leading the army, and conspiracies abound.
Her old grudges remain unsettled, and new ones have piled up. Her former husband, now emperor of the Celestial Dynasty, has trampled all over her happiness. Outrageous! If she doesn’t strike back, will he think she’s a helpless pushover?
Never assume a woman is easy to bully. Even heavily pregnant and on the verge of giving birth, she’ll prove to the world that women should never be underestimated, or the consequences will be terrible! She hones her witchcraft and concocts poisonous Gu, determined to make those who hurt her suffer torments beyond imagination. Meanwhile, as Witch Queen of her kingdom, she has secretly made an agreement with an allied nation to join forces and invade the Celestial Dynasty, the country she hates most.
When she arrives in the Celestial Dynasty as the Mingyi Kingdom’s envoy of peace, her belly as big as a basket, the ministers all laugh at her. “Looks like the Mingyi Kingdom has run out of people. Did they send a pregnant woman to give birth here?” She isn’t fazed. Step by step, she walks the red carpet toward the Golden Hall and stares down her bastard of an ex-husband. “Either be sensible and release my husband, or our two countries can perish together. If you won’t let me live in peace, then no one gets to live!”
