Reborn: The Legitimate Daughter Takes the Throne

In her previous life, she married the eldest son of the Yan family, believing she could live a simple, happy life. But when she fell gravely ill, her husband crushed the life-saving medicine with his own hands and watched her die of her illness.

“Big sister, I’ll see you off on your final journey.” Her half-sister watched her struggle on the brink of death, then smiled with satisfaction as she clung to her husband. “From now on, I’ll take care of my brother-in-law. Oh, no, my husband.”

Her brother and sister-in-law had died horribly, her family had been wiped out, and one loved one after another had perished. None of it had been an accident. Someone had planned it all, and only in the final moments of her life did she learn who was responsible.

When she awoke reborn, she had returned to the year she was to marry him.

Her stepmother was vicious, her half-sister heartless, her father’s concubines scheming, her father a hypocrite, and the scoundrel she was to marry despicable. This time, she was no longer the innocent girl she had once been. Her heart was dead, and she had only one reason to go on living: to take revenge. Every blood debt would be repaid in blood.

What she did not know was that the young master of the Liu family was bound to her by countless ties. One truth after another was laid before her, just as she was about to be overwhelmed.

A pair of strong hands steadied her by the shoulders. “You won’t fall apart. I’ll be with you.”

“My hands are stained with blood. Don’t you think I’m cruel?”

“I just can’t bear to see you suffer.”

“My hands may be stained with blood again.”

“Your delicate hands aren’t meant to wield a blade. I’ll deal with anyone who hurts you.” He gently lifted her hand and kissed it. The tenderness in his confession was strangely in harmony with the murderous light in his eyes.

“Who are you, really?” she asked, looking up at him. Hadn’t he once been the Fourth Prince’s adviser? A top scholar? A Secretariat Drafter? How had he suddenly become a prince too?

He smiled faintly. “That doesn’t matter.”

She would fight her stepmother, her half-sister, the concubines, and her cousins. She would fight heaven and earth and turn everything upside down.
