Latest Revenge Novel

When Lan Yao, the true daughter who grew up in the countryside, was humiliated by the younger generation of the Lan and Xu families, she suddenly awakened the memories of her past life and realized that she was a tragic character in a novel who was about to be designed and sent down to the countryside. How could she sit still and wait for death?

Facing the false daughter framing her for stealing, Lan Yao quickly snatched the jade pendant from the other party's neck. Immediately after, she decisively severed ties with the Lan and Xu families, embezzled all their family property with meticulous planning, and made their evil deeds public with a letter of accusation. Not only that, she also elegantly dumped her ungrateful military officer fiancé, snatched a magical golden finger from the false daughter's best friend, and started a life of carefree indulgence, eating and drinking well every day, living a truly happy life.

But what she didn't expect was that her former fiancé's nemesis would break into her world. That person pursued her relentlessly, determined to marry her. Even though Lan Yao refused, he showed concern for her in various ways, using all sorts of clever methods to shorten the distance between them.

Looking at the handsome man in front of her, who could elegantly attend various occasions, cook and serve meals, and exuded slyness yet clung to her, Lan Yao finally nodded in agreement.

After marriage, her military officer husband doted on her immensely, never letting her worry about household matters. Lan Yao only needed to enjoy life to the fullest, watch dramas, and punish those who had bullied her. The couple's lives became more and more prosperous, as sweet as if they were immersed in honey, making others incredibly envious.

The story features a political, plot-driven narrative with a powerful female lead who is reborn to seek revenge. The Crown Prince falls in love and becomes relegated to a lower status.

The main characters are a fierce general's daughter, a black lotus-like wife who is a subject, and a wise and noble Crown Prince who is devoted to her.

In her past life, Lin Huaiyin discovered before her death that her aloof and unfeeling husband, the Grand Chancellor, had long been involved with the current Princess. She was a stepping stone handpicked by her husband, chosen to be sacrificed for the Princess's ambition to seize the throne and become empress. Her husband intended to bleed her dry and trample over the bones of her nine relatives to achieve his goal.

Reborn, Lin Huaiyin reclaimed her true nature as a fierce general's daughter. She vowed to protect her Lin clan, divorce her scumbag husband, and send the vile pair to hell. Her motto became: "Where I tread, not a blade of grass will grow."

Lin Huaiyin targeted her enemies, meticulously planning her moves, and drew Crown Prince Xiao Zhian into her game.

Crown Prince Xiao Zhian of the Eastern Palace was known for his brilliance and talent, treating everyone with impartiality and equality, protecting every citizen of the empire.

A black lotus bloomed, but it did not escape his sharp eyes. He indulgently allowed her to execute criminals by her own hand. He broke his own rules for the first time to suck out poisonous blood and heal her wounds. He admired her skill with a bow and arrow and her heroic spirit on the battlefield. He was pained by her suffering at the hands of villains, cherishing and protecting her. Disregarding her status as a married woman, he boldly shielded her from the world's judgment.

He showered her with all his affection. However, he discovered she had approached him merely to exact revenge on his own sister. When Xiao Zhian finally understood Lin Huaiyin's deep-seated hatred and chose to stand by her side, protect her, and willingly become the sharpest blade in her hand, even forsaking his own sister, he also realized – Lin Huaiyin so easily let go of their feelings and abandoned him because the one she truly loved was his past self. She had never loved him.

He was merely a shadow of his past self, projected onto her. Xiao Zhian went to see her, confined her in his arms, and repeatedly asked, "You don't love me, yet you want me to become him. Yin Yin, is that fair?"

The story features a resilient, alluring daughter of a traitor meets a righteous and authoritative minister of the Dali Temple.

Xie Xiangsi has a secret. She is not the real Xie Xiangsi, but Xiao Yan, the daughter of a traitor who has possessed her body. To clear her clan’s name, she deliberately approaches Zhou Yanzhi, the minister of the Dali Temple and her archenemy in her past life. Assuming the identity of Xie Xiangsi, she pretends to be his distant cousin, proceeding cautiously and deliberately provoking him.

Despite their many confrontations in her previous life, she underestimated how unromantic this man could be. When he accidentally intruded into her boudoir, his apology gift was a copy of “A Collection of Autopsy and Body Dissection Records.” When she was accidentally injured, he took over to dress her wound. Without batting an eye, he tore open her wound and told her sternly, “Cousin, a long pain is worse than a short one.”

Xie Xiangsi couldn’t help but fall silent. Could she really conquer this high and mighty man?

However, on the night she turned to leave, she was shackled and imprisoned in the Dali Temple by familiar hands.

Before the dark torture rack, the person who ordered her arrest had red-rimmed eyes as he leaned in and whispered, “So all of this… was just to clear your name?”

“In your heart, did you ever have any feelings for me?”

Xie Xiangsi looked at the torture instruments covering the wall and remained silent.

If she answered this question incorrectly, would she ever be able to leave?

But what answered her was not torture…

Reborn Revenge + Harem + Family Cremation + Doting Wife Demon.

Shen Shu only realized when she was sent to Prince Cheng's bed that her father and mother bringing her back from the countryside was a meticulously planned conspiracy. She was driven to the brink of ruin by Prince Cheng's torment and discarded in the woodshed wrapped in a tattered mat, finally understanding she was merely a pawn used for someone else's ascent.

Shen Shu unwillingly breathed her last.

When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the very day the Duke's Mansion sent someone to fetch her.

Returning to this life, she would no longer be a stepping stone for others to use. She punished the conniving servants, scolded her parents, and slapped her siblings.

Her entire family, unable to bear it any longer, used her strange eyes as an excuse to take her to the Imperial Observatory. The National Master began to divine, "I see her destiny is a perfect match with Young Marquis Lin."

Synopsis: ∝ Upcoming story: "Everyone Is Playing Dumb" or "Chen Ao Rises to Power" ∝ Recommended finished story: "I Said Divorce Wasn't a Fuss"

Jiang Miaomiao’s first love and fiancé was snatched by the “green tea” junior classmate right before graduation.

They even invited her to witness their “loving wedding”—all the photos were reshoots of her couple photos with the scumbag, a blatant provocation!

Jiang Miaomiao: Thanks for the invitation, I will definitely attend.

She created a group chat and invited 17 ex-girlfriends of the groom, all of whom filled two tables at the wedding.

With her good memory and fast typing skills, she quickly changed the group chat display names for each member: Xia xx-20210301, Chen xx-20200301, Xie xx-20200311…

【Xia xx-20210301: Impossible, how could I have slept with @Chen xx-20200301 on the same night?】

Group owner has renamed "Xia xx-20210301" to "Xia xx-20210301 (Night)"

Group owner has renamed "Chen xx-20200301" to "Chen xx-20200301 (Noon)"

【Jiang Miaomiao: The times are staggered, there's no conflict. Peace is precious, honest people.】

【Lu xx-20200711: ......】

【Xia xx-20210301 (Noon): ......】

【Chen xx-20200301 (Night): ......】

This instantly maximized the anger of 17 cuckolded brothers; they were cheated out of money and emotions during their relationships.

They caused a scene at the wedding, and the bride and groom even tore into each other on the spot.

Jiang Miaomiao took the opportunity to wish them: “You two are a perfect match! May you be together forever and be locked in marriage.”

-

Back home, she needed to find a job.

Her father wanted to trick her into marriage for a bride price, and her younger brothers were all scummy, decadent, and despicable.

Jiang Miaomiao said that polite people don't hit others, so those who rush to be beaten by her don't count as people~

Scummy second brother: Dad, she hooked up with my 367 ex-girlfriends, ambushed me, and wants to emasculate me!

Fearing a beating, her father said: It’s just a little short, as long as it’s not severed, it’s fine.

Decadent third brother: Dad, she secretly bought me an insurance policy worth hundreds of millions, and tried to murder me, causing me to crash into a ditch!

Fearing usurpation, her father said: Damn it, why is the beneficiary me? I didn't lie about the insurance.

The despicable youngest brother, just back from visiting his two brothers in the ICU, sat obediently, trembling: Dad, I—

Her father, already usurped: Don't say anything, just let me be quiet for a moment.

#Everyone says older sisters are devoted to their brothers, she says go to hell

#She likes it when people are displeased with her but can't do anything about it

#Da Jiang Group's First Female CEO, the domineering type

∝ Jiang Mian wanted a divorce, so she racked her brains to comfort her son: “Actually, Dad still loves you, he just doesn’t love Mom anymore.”

Jiang Mian married the young powerful boss of the Xie Corporation right after graduation.

Media headlines in bold large print: Childhood sweethearts, a perfect match!

She thought she was marrying true love, but it turned out to be a marriage of “insanity” and endless troubles…

After marriage, the young boss was an alcoholic and a gambler, a frequent fixture in scandals. Beautiful women were always around him, and flags were fluttering everywhere outside.

She tried to communicate, cried, and finally grew cold and numb, leaving only two humble requests: Don't bring other women home, and don't help Lu Zhuotao.

For the sake of face, money, and her child, she endured. But the boss was still the boss.

Heh—

He directly brought Lu Zhuotao into the house and handed over the family fortune she had painstakingly tried to regain to his new lover?

After enduring for five years, Jiang Mian spread her hands and said: If I endure any longer, I'll be the mother of a scumbag's son!

One-sentence synopsis: A CEO sister who doesn’t follow the usual script.

Concept: She doesn't want the vanity and support gained at the peak, but wants to witness her followers in her twilight years.

Copywriting: [Chapter comments are open] Do you know if I love you or hate you? Heir of a powerful family vs. university student. Age gap of 8 years, face-slapping, true fragrance, forced possession, sea of hate and sky of love.

Copywriting: When Wen Yining was 18, she came from a remote and backward small town to the wealthy and glamorous Northern City to attend university. Most of her classmates were from wealthy or noble families with extraordinary backgrounds. As a girl from a remote small town with an ordinary family background, Wen Yining naturally acted cautiously and kept a low profile.

However, she was entangled by a famous young master from the school because of her looks. She was forced to attend an opera with several classmates at the young master's invitation. During the opera, Wen Yining excused herself to go to the restroom and secretly ran to the back to get some air.

Suddenly, a deep and uncompromising gaze fell upon her from above, like a targeted prey. Wen Yining's scalp tingled, and she subconsciously looked up. She saw that in the private room upstairs, two bodyguards in black stood with their hands behind their backs. The melodious opera sounds from the front hall could be faintly heard. In front of the wooden carved railings was a huge floor-standing bronze incense burner, with smoke curling upwards. Beside it were layered and thick curtains, hiding the person behind. She only felt that the gaze had been fixed on her face.

Wen Yining's scalp tingled, and she fled in a panic. She thought the gaze that day was just a small interlude, until not long after, Wen Yining was notified to attend an event she was not qualified to participate in.

As soon as she stepped into the main hall, the same gaze from that day fell on her face from the main seat. Wen Yining looked up. The noble man in the main seat had a smile on his lips, his gaze directly fixed on her face without any reservation. The strong interest and unconcealed aggressiveness in his eyes made her heart pound.

She only then realized, belatedly, that attending the event was fake; seeing her was real.

*Li Changjing was gentle, considerate, and relentlessly pushing forward. Wen Yining, a girl who had just turned 18, couldn't resist falling for him. She knew he was just playing around, so she let herself go wild.

During the holidays, she proposed to break up and returned to that remote, backward, and simple small town, forgetting the dazzling extravagance of the capital. However, she still liked Li Changjing.

Until Li Changjing chased her all the way from the distant Northern City to the downstairs of Wen Yining's old apartment building. Right downstairs, he pressed her against the back seat of his car, and threatened her with Wen Yining's parents, keeping her by his side against her will.

Wen Yining closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face, and suddenly began to hate him.

*Li Changjing, who was obsessed with power, refused an arranged marriage and kept Wen Yining by his side against everyone's opposition, thus being warned by his grandfather and having his power revoked. All his friends came to persuade him, saying it was not worth ruining his bright future for a woman.

Even Wen Yining, who had not spoken to him proactively for a long time, spoke up to persuade Li Changjing to let go. Li Changjing chuckled,

Copywriting: Liu Jiao was a village girl, crude, but with some looks. She was noticed by the princess and betrothed to her personal guard, marrying into the wealthy capital. From then on, she had no worries about food and clothing, her husband was handsome and ambitious, and she wouldn't have to worry for the rest of her life.

Everyone said she had struck gold and should be grateful to the princess.

But her married life was not good.

As the guard's wife, Liu Jiao's husband spent more time with the princess than with her.

The princess and her husband were inseparable.

She only received her husband's indifferent back in the night.

When the princess casually teased him, that usually stern person would blush for days, distracted.

And no matter how many seductive and coquettish tactics Liu Jiao used, he still had that indifferent expression.

She had suspected their relationship. The man would wear his sword and coldly warn her with furrowed brows:

“Don't overthink it. The princess is already married; slandering her like this will ruin her reputation.”

At first, Liu Jiao comforted herself:

The princess was noble and precious; her husband naturally had to protect her with his life. This was his duty as the princess's guard.

But although her knowledge was shallow, she was not blind. After repeated rejections and disappointments, she finally understood one thing—

Even with great responsibility, he didn't need to put so much effort and attention to detail into everything concerning the princess.

It was liking, a love hidden in his heart, that allowed him to pour so much energy into the princess.

Her husband, the princess's guard—

liked the princess.

*

Later, he became a high official, and the princess also divorced. The two no longer had obstacles due to their status.

Although Liu Jiao was a village girl, she knew herself. She handed over the divorce papers, and her husband calmly said okay.

He was even so calm and indifferent that he taught the illiterate, simple village girl how to write her own name on the divorce papers.

It wasn't until the day Liu Jiao remarried and was dragged back by him with soldiers that she realized—

What he taught her to write on the divorce papers was not her name.

It was “I cannot.”

“Why is the young hero’s title ‘God of Spring’?”

“Because after she passes, hope sprouts, just like spring.”

Lin Chengye, the descendant of a military family, had a peaceful and uneventful life dramatically change on her seventeenth birthday.

She was pierced through the heart by an enemy general’s sword, becoming a dead person, only to miraculously survive by chance.

The imperial court and the jianghu, the destruction of her family and the massacre of the Qingluan Medicine Valley... Lin Chengye was forced to step into a twenty-year conspiracy.

Jianghu grievances and enmities can only be repaid with blood.

But revenge is not everything. On this journey, Lin Chengye meets friends, meets the person she admired in her childhood, encounters various kinds of people, and meets the jianghu in her own heart...

She hears countless stories, meets and parts with countless people. In the end, those events and people become like pieces of flesh, sticking to her bones, turning into Lin Chengye’s own story.

When everything ended, Lin Chengye dared to look back.

It turned out that this long night of revenge was merely a very short period in her life.

...

This book merely tells about the various events that happened in the two short years of Chengye’s long and splendid life. It is rather fragmented and slow-paced.

(Note: Relatively slow-paced, basically a serious drama, a more traditional Wuxia story with a bit of political intrigue.)

**Trigger Warnings (Must Read):**

1. The positioning of this article was unclear when written, so it does not exclude males. Please avoid these if there are positive male characters in the article! Especially in the first three chapters, males appear frequently. But after that, male characters are almost non-existent. It is a portrayal of female jianghu figures that Lin Chengye encounters after entering the jianghu.

The worldview has been carefully considered and should lean towards a feudal society where gender equality is respected, and class and bloodline oppression are paramount. (Tentative)

2. Both righteous and villainous characters are female, but the villainous women are not negated. It is simply a story of the jianghu.

3. The author originally just wanted to write a story about a female protagonist's experiences. As a result, due to the author's awakening being only half-awake, some wording was changed (like gendered terms), but the fundamental problem was not recognized. Because the author is slow-witted and could not fully awaken, this issue will be slowly corrected.

4. Regarding some ideological issues, I will continue to study hard and welcome criticism.

You get close to this coffin, and I can restore your physical body for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.” Shen Wen was stunned and asked her who she was. “Ah, have you heard of cultivating the ghost path and doing business with the dead…”

In her previous life, the housekeeper's daughter, Lu Lian'er, was brought home by her three older brothers, and from then on, Xia Mian's life began to go downhill.

Lu Lian'er not only stole the brothers' affection but got addicted to it!

Her guaranteed university spot? Stolen!

Her childhood sweetheart? Stolen!

As long as it had anything to do with her, Lu Lian'er snatched it all!

Her brothers even paved a brilliant life for Lu Lian'er on her broken body!

She gave her all, only to be tied up by her brothers and taken to a deserted area, where she was tortured, her heart and kidneys excavated, her body and bones utterly destroyed.

When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the day Lu Lian'er was brought home!

The eldest brother commanded, "From now on, Lian'er is our youngest sister. You are the older sister, you should know how to yield."

The second brother coldly stated, "Lian'er has a heart condition from saving you when you were young, you must repay her well."

The third brother warned, "Lian'er is kind and gentle, while you are arrogant and petulant. Don't bully her in the future."

Grandma said earnestly, "Lian'er has good grades and is beautiful. You are jealous and petty; you should learn to be magnanimous from now on."

"Wife, do the newly bought shoes fit?"

Xia Mian smiled lightly, looked up at her brothers who were tearfully begging her to return, and said, "Family affection and love are like shoes; those that don't fit should be discarded early!"
