The Phoenix Shakes the World

She was peerlessly beautiful, the daughter of a prime minister, but he destroyed her family and left her a fugitive in a foreign land. He was a powerful, ruthless, and cunning regent who stood above all others, and he had personally slaughtered her entire household. Who says a woman can do nothing but cry? Five years later, she stormed the prince regent's mansion, stole his tiger tally, infiltrated the military camp, and launched a sneak attack.

If you’re going to spoil me, then spoil me for the rest of my life.”
