The Phoenix Bears a Golden Bough

The leads knew each other in their previous lives. After being reborn, the heroine is ruthless and calculating.

Xie Jinnian spent her whole life being a fool. The younger sister she truly loved was a fraud, and the adopted younger brother harbored ulterior motives. The Xie family’s second branch was devoured by a pack of wolves. After dying a miserable death, she was reborn. Now she was ruthless and calculating, carefully plotting each step as she avenged her family and killed the wicked. Gradually, her scheming grandmother and uncle dared not speak, while her conniving cousins begged her to spare them. With a single stroke, Xie Jinnian cut off the grudges of her past life!

In this life, she protected the family estate, found the true heirs of the second branch, and built a life that grew more peaceful by the day. But then her former in-laws from her previous life came to propose again. That scumbag ex-husband who forced her to drink a potion that would make her barren? Xie Jinnian shut the door tight. She wasn’t about to repeat the same mistake. But then her ex-husband’s younger brother from her previous life knocked on her door. “I’m the one here to propose.”
