Lan Xuan smiled gently as she said, “My dear sister, who told you to obstruct my path? Your man belongs to me, your dowry belongs to me, your everything, belongs to me.”

With bloodshot eyes, Zhao Hong Xiang bit his tooth and said clearly, ”Don’t blame me, when you were alive, you were a part of the Zhao family, even when you die, you will remain a ghost of the Zhao family. I will not allow myself to be mocked by the world because of you. Instead of living so miserably, why not die early and reincarnate early? Xuan’er has said that your dowry consists of 60 thousand liang of silver, I can’t let you take it away, so… why don’t you… GO TO HELL!”

In the midst of a night thunderstorm, the kindhearted but cowardly daughter of the general of the Great Yan Empire, Mu Zi You, was strangled to death by her closest friend and husband using a rope. When she died, she had a stomach full of regrets and grievances.

Just when she thought she died wrongfully under the hands of her friend and husband, she opened her eyes once more only to realize that she had been given a second chance. She had been transported back by 4 years. Forcefully breaking through the seal her mother left on her soul, she was granted with supernatural power. “I swear that I will only allow myself let others down but not the other way around! From now, I want my revenge!”

Evil stepmother? It’s alright, I’ll destroy your reputation before sending you on your way to the yellow spring (TL note: yellow spring = Hell). Hypocritical friend? I’ll ruthlessly tear off your facade and give you a taste of the pain I once felt. The princess conspiring against me? I’ll just throw her into the mass grave. Since none of you are willing to let me enjoy my life, I’ll drag all of you down with me!

Just when she intends to distance herself from hypocritical douche-bags, who knew that her devastatingly beautiful appearance would attract even more butterflies.

That guy whom abandoned her like a dirty shoe previously is now saying that he will marry no one but her.

Princes chasing after her, willing to use any methods and do anything just to get in her good graces, and a drop dead gorgeous hoodlum involving himself with her, who will she choose?

Rebirth of the General's Granddaughter

With a voice sweeter than a nightingale, actions filled with poise and manners, Zi You passed the gauze to Madam Chen. From start to end, Zi You did not spare Hong Xiang a single look.


When she paid her respect to Hong Xiang's father, she was courteous, respectful and polite.


Glancing proudly at this granddaughter's actions, Old General Mu fondly commented to his friend, "Zi You might be young, but she is very talented in the arts. Her teacher praised her numerous times, saying her future is unlimited."


Hong Xiang's father, the current Duke, had always been interested in the arts. He too was talented in the arts. In the entire Great Yan, he was one of the most famous artist. Even the current emperor kept his paintings.


Seeing Old General Mu boasting about Zi You's abilities, he developed a thought about testing her. He wanted to have Zi You paint bamboos.


Painting bamboo was simple. However, making the bamboos look alive was no easy feat. It depended on the artist's mentality and creativity. The painting represented the artist while the thoughts are expressed through the strokes of each bamboo.


Zi You's technique and simple strokes astonished the Duke. The young girl before him was only around twelve years of age, yet she was painting in a way difficult for some adults to accomplish.


He nods his head as Zi You paints the bamboo leaves. The difficulty level here is being able to convey mood. The positioning of the leaves affects the entire feeling of the painting.


The Duke was pleased by Zi You's reaction in the face of his compliments and criticism. Zi You listened to what he had to say with a calm face and humble smile. She did not seem arrogant, annoyed, or disheartened.


He was thoroughly impressed by her attitude. A young girl with a beautiful appearance and noble aura, after a few years when she becomes a lady, how outstanding would she become?


Feeling satisfied and pleased, he waited for Zi You to leave before expressing his thoughts about engaging Zi You to his son.


Old General Mu was indeed satisfied with Hong Xiang's appearance; however he was not too sure of his character. Although his old friend was praising Hong Xiang and there was no gossip about Hong Xiang in the capital, Zi You was Old General Mu's baby. He needed to make sure she's paired with someone of good character.


Ever since Zi You recovered, she had changed into a completely different person. She'd put in great effort into learning various arts.


Outsiders only saw her serene appearance, but Old General Mu knew Zi You had some things hidden in her heart. He did not know what exactly it was. Even to her beloved grandfather, she was not willing to let him know.


It would be better to ask for her opinion in regards to her marriage. Given how stubborn Zi You was, it would not be viable for him to decide her marriage.


Ending his inner monologue, Old General Mu joked, "You wish! You're jealous after seeing my talented granddaughter, aren't you? You want her to enter your manor? I'm not willing! I want my granddaughter to stay with me till she's eighteen. Let's see if your son is capable of waiting."


The Duke understood that he could not settle the marriage today. Yet this did not stop his son, Hong Xiang, from fantasizing about Zi You.


Hong Xiang was fifteen. Although this was not old by modern standards, at his age in this present time, most young masters had already accepted Tong Fang Ya Tou and understood the matters between men and women.
