【Reborn into a new life, bloody power struggles, two formidable leads battling to overturn the world】 “If the Heavenly Dao wants me dead, I’ll burn the nine heavens to ash!”* In her previous life, Gu Zheng was the legitimate daughter of a military family. But her own kin stole her destiny, paving the way for her white-lotus half-sister to become empress, while she watched her father and brothers die beneath a rain of arrows. On their wedding night, her husband Xie Lin used the red-bean bracelet they’d exchanged as a token of love to lock her inside a sea of flames, then left her entire clan with the false charge of treason. Reborn, she wears the body of an invalid, fingers her prayer beads, and uses blood for ink as she stirs up the court. - Tear apart the pretense of familial affection: When her half-sister accuses her of an affair, Gu Zheng throws out secret letters proving collusion with the enemy, then watches with a smile as her second uncle cuts off his own support. - Manipulate the hearts of the people: Poor scholars risk their lives to submit petitions at the palace gates, while popular storybooks spread the royal family’s scandals across the Nine Provinces. - Make her move against Heaven and change her fate: She conspires with the cold-faced regent Nan Ming, then slips a sword through his lapel. The scar he took while shielding her from an arrow in her previous life hides a shocking secret about twin imperial princes! “Nan Ming, do you want the world, or do you want me?” “The world is yours. You are mine.”
