First Break Off the Engagement, Then Cut Ties: The Empress Rules the World

Gu Junxi and her twin brother are trapped in a fire. Her older brothers and fiancé ignore her pleas for help, leaving her to burn to death.

Her soul drifts back to the family residence, where her brothers and fiancé are joyfully celebrating her brother's coming-of-age birthday.

Her brother wears a dress, puts up his hair, and opens his presents. That night, he goes to another residence, where her father is with a woman.

Her brother is actually the daughter of her father's concubine. Her brothers and fiancé all know, but neither she nor her mother does.

When she opens her eyes again, reborn, she breaks off her engagement, takes her mother, severs ties with the family, and leaves. Then she marries the obsessive crown prince, who once secretly held her corpse and wept in front of the ruins.

But now her three brothers and fiancé begin to recover memories of their past lives, one after another, and beg her through their tears for forgiveness.

Her fiancé even refuses to call her "Crown Princess" and would rather die, stabbing himself in the chest to prove his love.

Affection that comes too late is worth less than grass. She will never forgive them!

The whole family gets their comeuppance, the male supporting character gets his comeuppance, a reborn-versus-transmigrated contrast, and a healing story about unrequited love
