Returning to the Night of Her Abduction, She Slaughtered the Entire Village and Returned to the Capital to Claim Lives

Meng Xizhou, the legitimate daughter of a marquis, was betrayed by her own mother and sold into the remote Xiaohe Village. In her previous life, she endured unspeakable torture and humiliation at the hands of her abusive in-laws and a jealous younger sister, Meng Nanyi. Her mother had orchestrated the sale to transfer Meng Xizhou's destined "Phoenix Fate" to Meng Nanyi, allowing the younger sister to eventually steal Meng Xizhou's identity and ascend to the throne as Empress. Meng Xizhou died a broken woman in a brothel, only to be reborn on the very night of her abduction, armed with hatred and the knowledge of future events.

Upon waking in the arms of her lecherous brother-in-law, Liu Ming, Meng Xizhou immediately turned the tables on her captors. She lured Liu Ming into a trap she had previously fallen victim to, causing him to fall into a dry well to his death. When her sister-in-law, Zhang Sanjiao, attempted to intervene, Meng Xizhou pushed her into the same well, framing the couple's deaths as a scandalous accident caused by their own illicit affair. She then rushed to save the Village Chief's son from a fatal illness using her medical skills, establishing her value in the village and creating an alibi for her whereabouts. Her actions shattered the Zhang family's plans and left the Village Chief indebted to her, though he remained a potential threat due to his ties with her mother.

The narrative progresses as Meng Xizhou faces her wedding night with Zhang Zhi, a mentally disabled man who had raped her in her past life. She manipulates the situation by feeding him a potent drug intended to castrate him, forcing his mother, the Zhang Family's Old Woman, to watch as her precious grandson is rendered impotent. This act severs the Zhang family's lineage and inflicts maximum psychological torture on the matriarch. Meng Xizhou then turns her attention to Zhang Cheng, the eldest son and a human trafficker responsible for her abduction. Disguising herself as a physician, she accompanies Zhang Cheng to treat a wealthy squire with peculiar tastes. Instead, she ambushes Zhang Cheng, drugs him, and sells him into the same brothel he once profited from, delivering him to the squire as a "companion."

A critical turning point occurs when Meng Xizhou discovers that Song Xubai, the son of the Eldest Princess, has also been kidnapped and is among the cargo. Realizing the Princess herself may have been captured and sold, Meng Xizhou deduces she might be forced into a ghost marriage with the deceased son of the Village Chief in neighboring Tu Po Village. She races to the burial site, feigning madness to distract the guards, and rescues the unconscious Princess from the coffin just as the Crown Prince, Song Chengji, arrives with his guards. Song Chengji, her former betrothed who she believes betrayed her in the past life by marrying her sister, recognizes her but she remains cold and distant, refusing to join him immediately as she has unfinished business.

Meng Xizhou continues her campaign of retribution by sending messages to the Meng family in the capital, exposing their crimes and sowing discord. She learns that Zhang Zhi has died from infection and that Zhang Zhuo, the third brother who had ruined her reputation in her past life, has died in a carriage accident. Suspecting a trap, she plans to verify the death before returning to the capital. Meanwhile, the Village Chief, bribed by her mother's family, attempts to frame her for seduction, but Meng Xizhou outwits his witnesses, exposing their lies and turning the village against him. The story concludes with Meng Xizhou consolidating her power in the village, eliminating threats one by one, and preparing to return to the capital to reclaim her life and punish those who destroyed her in her previous existence.
