My Father, the Grand Tutor, Sold Her into Slavery. Reborn, I Refuse to Forgive

The day the city fell, Xiao Xuan, still an infant in swaddling clothes, was passed off as the princess and became a captive of the fallen kingdom. Her father, Grand Tutor Xiao Zhongyuan, fled in haste with the little princess born to his beloved empress. On the run, to lighten the carriage, Xiao Zhongyuan pushed his wife of many years out of it. Twelve years later, the two nations made peace, and Xiao Xuanji returned to the Great Liang. Grand Tutor Xiao, now living in splendor after trampling over the corpses of her and her mother, was not glad to see her return. He flatly rejected the princess’s title, which should have been given to her as compensation, and even suspected she was a spy. In her previous life, Xiao Xuanji was driven to the brink by Xiao Zhongyuan and fought back, killing both her father and the emperor with her own hands. She thought death would settle all debts. But when she opened her eyes again, she had returned to five years earlier, the first time she came back to the Great Liang. This time, Xiao Xuanji would no longer let Xiao Zhongyuan use his status as her father to bully and suppress her. She would claim justice for herself and her mother. To protect herself, she turned around and saved a young general, forming an alliance with him. She had planned to take her revenge in this life, then find some secluded paradise where she could live freely. But who could have guessed the fearsome general would say: “If you’re going to fight for power, why not go all the way, Your Highness?” Xiao Xuanji gazed toward the throne in the Zichen Hall, just one step away. When she looked back, she realized that every civil and military official at court had bowed their heads and sworn allegiance to her. She had only wanted to stay alive and get revenge. She never expected to win something this big.
