Reborn in Vengeance

Lu Ning'an spent twenty years in mourning for a husband who had sold her. Xie Yunwang, a general, faked his own death, leaving her a widow. Her dowry went into the Xie household, and she raised his son by his mistress Lin Wan'er as though the boy were the legitimate heir. Xie Zichen placed first in the imperial examination, and once he was in office he brought down Lu Ning'an's own family. She dies and opens her eyes years earlier, on the day Xie Yunwang's coffin arrives at the Xie manor. This time she has the coffin nailed shut. She plays the model widow in front of her mother-in-law, moves her dowry out of the manor and into the imperial household's treasury, and makes herself useful to the prince. She goes after the husband who tricked her, the stepson who repaid her, the mother-in-law, and the mistress, and collects on everything the Xie family owes.
