Cinnabar Ashes: Prince Jing's Rebirth Debt

Reborn at twenty, Shen Qingxian is still the "frail" legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's household. In her previous life, she rose to become Empress but died wrongfully accused. In this life, she hides her sharp edges, using her delicate body as armor and her keen wits as a blade, determined to bury her enemies one by one.

Prince Jing, Xiao Jingheng, is a celebrated military hero. Beneath his stern, imposing exterior lies a heart full of remorse. Night after night, he dreams of her blood staining the palace steps in their previous life. Now, seeing her smile gently, he is both overjoyed and terrified. The more helpless and fragile she acts, the more his heart trembles.

The Princess of Zhaoyang lays one deadly trap after another, only to help her climb higher at every turn. The suspicious and fickle emperor becomes a sharp sword in her hands. When Shen Qingxian finally casts off her disguise and looks down on all beneath her from the golden throne hall, Xiao Jingheng pins her against the wall, his eyes red: "In this life, let me set the world ablaze for you."

She merely smiles and slips away. "Your Highness, are you still familiar with the road to the crematorium?"
