Reborn: The Poison Queen’s Dazzling Revenge

As the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Justice and the younger sister of the Protector General, Wei Yan was born to greatness. Who could have guessed that after spending her whole life helping him seize the realm from others, she would end up dying horribly at the hands of the person she loved most? Her illegitimate sister climbed over her to rise in the world, enjoying the riches and honors that should have been hers. In the end, Wei Yan was left with nothing, her soul lost in prison. Reborn after being driven to the brink of death, the Poison Queen has returned. With a pair of delicate hands, she can pluck flowers or overturn the world. In my previous life, you all played me for a fool. Now it's time to collect interest! == Behind the walls of the great residence, a hypocritical half-sister, a venomous aunt, a mysterious maid, and mysteries at every turn. She must keep her own mother from being fooled into stabbing her in the back, while also dealing with all sorts of monsters and their hidden attacks. No problem. When the enemy comes, she'll block them; when the flood comes, she'll hold it back. There's just one thing she doesn't understand: why is there always someone following her? == He is the Regent, with power over the entire court. Cold-hearted and aloof, he loves only her. In his previous life, he couldn't win her heart. Though he guarded her devotedly, he still couldn't change her tragic end. That night, the Great Zhou palace was awash in blood. He killed until his eyes ran red, then clutched a wine jar and collapsed drunk in her palace, never to see her cool, distant figure again. When he opened his eyes, everything had started over. In this life, he would never let go of her hand, even if he had to search the heavens above or the depths of the underworld! == [Repaying a favor] She sat across from him and spoke with utmost seriousness. "Your Highness, please just say what you want. If the Wei residence has it, I'll have the servants send it over tomorrow." He was silent. She tested the waters. "How about ten chests of gold and jewels, plus ten deeds to houses and land?" When he still didn't answer, she added, "Or should I send you a few pretty maids?" His eyelid twitched. He suppressed the urge to hang this woman up and beat her, then said slowly, "A few won't be necessary. One will do." She froze, her expression changing as she asked sourly, "May I ask which woman in my household has caught the Regent's eye?" A sly smile crossed his handsome face. "Naturally, I have my eye on Miss Wei. Forget the gold, jewels, house deeds, and land deeds. All I want is you, Miss Wei." She was dumbfounded. She'd wanted to repay him, not give herself to him!!
