After being reborn, Gu Zhao, the notorious beauty who brought ruin to the kingdom, lets herself go completely. She takes revenge for every slight and kills anyone who stands in her way. She thought she was ruthless enough, until her mother reunited with her birth parents and gained powerful backing. Only then did Gu Zhao see what true ruthlessness looked like in Auntie Zhou.
Gu Zhao: “Auntie, Madam withheld our monthly allowance.”
Madam Zhou: “Don’t panic, Zhaozhao. I’ll get rid of her.”
Gu Zhao: “Auntie, the provincial governor’s wife said I look like a vixen.”
Madam Zhou: “Don’t worry, Zhaozhao. I’ll host a banquet and drown her.”
Gu Zhao: “Auntie, Father has arranged for me to marry a young man from the Ji family.”
Madam Zhou: “That old fool! I’ll poison him in the next few days. And that poor boy surnamed Ji, too! We might as well poison them both.”
Gu Zhao: “I often feel I’m still a little too kind...”
Gu Zhao really couldn’t connect the poor boy who followed her around every day with the shrewd and calculating military strategist who had served the rebels in her previous life.
Ji Yan: “Zhaozhao, I just made this toothbrush yesterday. Give it a try.”
Gu Zhao: “...”
Ji Yan: “Zhaozhao, I just invented this aluminum mirror. Only someone as beautiful as you deserves it!”
Gu Zhao: “...”
Ji Yan: “Zhaozhao, I made this glass bowl for you with my own hands!”
Gu Zhao: “...Young Master Ji, you’d better call me Fourth Miss Gu...”
Ji Yan: “All right, Zhaozhao!”
Ji Yan: Another energetic day of making money so I can marry Zhaozhao!
