Bones of the Nobility

The entire Lin clan was executed, and no one at court dared speak plainly about the reason. After Lin Zhijun was reborn, she put investigating the case, taking revenge, and even destroying a country on her agenda. But as she pursued these goals, she discovered that an irritating illegitimate son kept showing up at the first crime scene. What terrible luck. Just as she was secretly plotting to get rid of him, she discovered that he, like her, had two secret identities. Xue Feibai had great plans of his own and couldn’t let a marriage arranged by his family hold him back. After repeatedly trying and failing to trip up and eliminate his wooden, legitimate-born fiancée, he finally decided to give up. He figured he’d marry her first, then drop dead a few months later. That was when he discovered one thing: he wasn’t the only one who wanted her dead.
