May the Clear Wind and Bright Moon Shine on My Return

In her past life, Feng Ruoxi trusted the wrong man and suffered the destruction of her family before dying unjustly. As war ravaged the land and her country fell, she was forced to marry Xiao Heng, the enemy who had destroyed it, to protect her loved ones. Relying on the remnants of her Feng kingdom’s power, Xiao Heng enriched his state, strengthened its armies, and secured his position as crown prince. He had also treated her with the utmost tenderness, favoring her alone for ten years as their children grew up around them. Feng Ruoxi thought they had found peace and stability, unaware that it was all part of the emperor’s design. Once his power was secure, Xiao Heng set his sights on unifying Zhongzhou. Without hesitation, he stripped her of her position as empress and married the Princess of Qi. The new empress, Qi Youya, was venomous and schemed against Feng Ruoxi at every turn, setting a trap to falsely accuse her of an affair with the Third Prince, Xiao Yi. All the favor she had once enjoyed vanished. Xiao Heng turned cold and merciless, subjecting her to a gruesome execution and sending her to her grave consumed by hatred. The innocent Xiao Yi was also imprisoned until he died. As the flames consumed her, Feng Ruoxi’s hatred blazed sky-high. Reborn, she returned to the pivotal day when the Feng kingdom fell and Xiao Heng forced her to marry him. In this life, she wanted nothing to do with love. She only wanted to protect herself and her family, and decisively escape Xiao Heng’s control. She read the situation perfectly, turned others’ strength to her advantage, and supported Xiao Yi, a kind-hearted man who had endured in silence and bided his time. Together, they stirred up the court, dismantled Xiao Heng’s power step by step, and shattered his imperial ambitions. When the smoke cleared, Xiao Yi ascended the throne. He offered her all the realm as his betrothal gift and promised to share his life with her alone. Together, they ruled as husband and wife, pacified Zhongzhou, and ushered in a peaceful golden age under the Qingyun dynasty.
