In The Empress of the Noble Family, Gu Qin is a regent whose power overshadows the entire court. He is cold, ruthless, and bloodthirsty, and this major villain nearly kills the male and female protagonists on several occasions.

When Xia Tong suddenly finds herself transmigrated into the body of the magistrate’s daughter, the same girl who broke off a childhood engagement with Gu Qin because she thought he was poor and had no future, her mind completely collapses!!!

Just as she prepares to change her identity and hide in some remote mountain corner, she is suddenly dragged out to settle old scores.

A certain someone: “I’ve heard that during lingchi (death by a thousand cuts), one doesn’t die immediately.”

Xia Tong’s face turns pale: “I… I don’t know…”

The man glances at her leisurely, his eyes dark and deep: “This red agate suits your complexion well.”

Xia Tong: “…”

Can I just request euthanasia instead?
