Reborn, I Became the Powerful Minister's Beloved

Yun Ying was betrothed to the heir of Prince Ye from birth. After their wedding, she became a tool in her husband's struggle for power, and died full of hatred on the wedding night of her husband and her elder half-sister.

Given a second life, she breaks off the engagement and fights her stepmother. She slaughters evil servants and kills her own siblings. She studies medicine and gathers followers, planning every step as she attempts to defy fate and change her destiny.

But the court is treacherous, and the struggle for power is bloody. Unable to turn the tide alone, she sets her sights on Pei Zhi, the ruthless, bloodthirsty confidant of the emperor, who met a violent end in her previous life.

During the Lantern Festival that year, she gazes up at him amid the fireworks and thronging crowds, and proposes a deal.

"If you help me, I can give you whatever you want, my lord."

Lord Pei sits astride his horse, his cool, handsome face carrying a proud, flippant smile.

"Ninth Lady, you couldn’t give me what I want."

He wants peace throughout the land, clear skies and calm seas, justice for the wronged, and rest for the dead.

But in the end, he realizes that the only thing he wants is Yun Ying.
