The Bewitching Consort Reborn: The Chaste, Powerful Minister Can't Stop Doting on Her

She was born with a bewitching beauty, peerless elegance, and a destiny like the phoenix. A wandering Daoist once foretold her fate: “When the hidden dragon emerges from the waters, the phoenix will soar through the nine heavens along a road of rosy clouds.” But her fate would be both her rise and her undoing. Because of her destiny, she called a villain her father as a child, then grew up to take her younger sister's place in the palace as the old emperor's woman. For the sake of her family, she swallowed her grievances and endured, hoping they would be safe. Who could have imagined... that overnight, everything would change. She fell from the heights of power into the dust, branded a demon concubine simply because the ridiculous emperor stopped attending court. Her eyes were gouged out, her flesh cut away, her bones carved out, and after enduring every torment, she died. Heaven showed mercy and sent her back ten years. “Those who once humiliated me, I will kill. Those who cursed me, I will kill. Those who resented me, I will kill. Now that I have returned from hell, no one can stop me from taking my revenge.” “If Heaven stands in my way, I'll shatter the heavens. If the earth blocks me, I'll split it apart.” He stopped obeying the emperor's commands after his adoptive father died a cruel death. He was the man the old emperor feared most, yet the ruler dared not touch him because he commanded the dynasty's finest cavalry. When she first met him, she saw tears in his eyes. “If the heavens impose nine layers of punishment, I'll walk with you and shatter them all.” Dressed in a black jade brocade robe, he smiled wickedly, his eyes glittering. “My little demon concubine, I've been searching for you for two lifetimes. This time, you won't escape the arms of this traitor to the throne.”
