[Clever, ruthless princess of a fallen kingdom VS scheming emperor + devoted to each other + emperor takes his subject’s wife + reborn for revenge + palace and household intrigue]
Ming Tang became a princess of a fallen kingdom at five, and was fortunate enough to be adopted by a Qi general.
Her adoptive mother made life miserable for her, her adoptive father died in prison, and her adoptive mother gave her to a young lord as a concubine.
After enduring humiliation and abuse, she was sent to a brothel and tortured to death.
Thankfully, Heaven took pity on her, and Ming Tang was reborn on the day she was found.
She evaded her adoptive father’s men and found a white-haired woman, whom she asked to take her as a disciple.
At fifteen, Ming Tang became a top assassin in the Nameless Moon.
She returned to the Shen household once more. Facing her smiling-tiger adoptive mother and a younger sister completely unlike the one from her previous life, she countered every move and manipulated them with ease.
Step by step, she became the favorite of the scheming emperor.
Then she turned around and married Shen Huainan, the capital’s celebrated young lord of the Duke of State’s household.
The young emperor got dead drunk and clutched the hem of Ming Tang’s skirt, growling, “Ming Tang, are you trying to die?”
Ming Tang pulled her hem from the emperor’s grasp and took a step back, bowing as she said, “Your Majesty, have you forgotten? You were the one who granted this marriage.”
On their wedding night, Ming Tang leaned close to the emperor’s ear, her breath sweet as orchids. “Your Majesty, how does this feel?”
The emperor willingly became a sword in her hands, and together they conquered the four corners of the realm and unified the world.
By day, the heroine is a delicate beauty, weak and helpless.
By night, she slaughters with a vengeance.
