True Heiress Cuts Ties, The Marquis Household Bitterly Regrets Novel

Zhaozhao was brought into the Marquis household as the true daughter at age ten, surrounded by love and warmth. She discovered her return was a deception—she had been used as a sacrificial pawn to protect the fake daughter. Abandoned in the dreaded Tomb Guard City for five years, she suffered brutal abuse at the hands of noble sons and died in despair. Upon awakening, Zhaozhao remembered her true identity as King Yan, the underworld's judge of souls. To regain her position, she must gather eighty-one evil souls and capture the Ghost King, wielding the Book of Life and Death. When the Marquis family arrived to retrieve her, she coldly rejected them, boarding Prince Su's carriage instead. Her former family's desperate pleas fell on deaf ears as Zhaozhao refused anything tainted by their betrayal. Prince Su, cursed with Evil Qi that harmed those near him, found solace in Zhaozhao's presence. As she absorbed his corrupted energy and collected the final evil souls needed for her ascension, Prince Su begged her not to abandon him. His plea threatened to complicate her planned departure.
