After Rebirth, the Ugly Woman Destroys Her Ex and Sets Her Sights on the Emperor

Palace Intrigue and Household Battles + Ugly Cast-Off Wife + Cold Exterior, Warm Hearted Young Lord + Revenge and Punishing Scum + Women's Alliance

Everyone in the city marvels at how fortunate the Ye family's legitimate daughter is. Though ugly, she managed to marry a noble family's son who came to live with her as a matrilocal husband.

She thought she had entered a haven of tenderness, but half a year later she found herself in a death-row prison.

Before she died, Ye Wanyu smugly held out her right hand, missing its little finger. At last, she had won back a little ground.

She is the legitimate daughter of an alchemical family overseen by the Nine Clans. Born with a peach-blossom face, she has been made to drink highly nourishing but poisonous tonics every day.

Disfigured and with her clan wiped out, Ye Wanyu believes revenge is impossible in this life.

Reborn, she changes her face and name and enters the capital. She wears her learning like fine clothes, wields goldwork as a blade, and uses medicine to build connections. She presents a gold headdress to congratulate a commandery princess on her wedding, leaving her enemy Zhou Xiulian unable to forget her, yet utterly bereft, before the gathered nobles.

With money and allies, killing her wicked ex-husband would be easy. But she also wants to seize the throne along the way, for the person who would conceal his own face rather than abandon her, and walk beside her to the end.

Xuanwu Yunlou parts his thin lips and says coldly, "If you want to study medicine for the sake of your face, that's only natural."

Ye Wanyu fires back, "Young Lord, you don't happen to have some secret ailment too, do you? We can get treated together. I'm clever by nature, so it's not impossible for me to surpass my master."
