Blood Pact, Phoenix's Peril

Reborn + historical romance + political intrigue + two powerful leads + satisfying revenge

The bridal crown was stained with blood; her entire family was slaughtered. On her wedding day in her previous life, Jiang Wanning was dressed in her bridal gown when her eyes were gouged out and her tongue cut off. Only then did she learn that the “deep love” between Crown Prince Xiao Chengyun and her half-sister was built on the blood of every member of the Jiang family. Her father's head was hung up high, her mother was pierced by countless arrows, and she, their “adopted daughter,” was nothing more than a pawn carefully raised for slaughter. Poison burned her throat, and hatred gnawed at her bones.

When she opened her eyes again, she heard music and the clinking of wine cups. It was her father's fiftieth birthday banquet! The girl in the mirror still had a clear, unmarked face, but her palm was already clenched around the debts of blood from her previous life. Beneath the festivities, danger lurked everywhere. This time, she hid her claws and became a shadow. First, she foiled the plot to wipe out her family and caught her father's attention. Then she arranged for her hypocritical sister to disgrace herself in public and become mired in scandal. Finally, she staked everything on forging a life-and-death alliance with Pei Jingyan, the cold and inscrutable General Who Guards the Nation, who commanded a mighty army. Beneath the birthday gifts, she concealed the deadly evidence that would bring down the Crown Prince.

Within the mansion, she was a strategist taking every step with care. At court, she was a hidden pawn capable of stirring up the storm. When Pei Jingyan's sword cut through the deadly glint aimed at her amid the chaos of the birthday feast, and the secrets of her sealed-away origins revealed astonishing supernatural mysteries, the power slumbering in her blood proved strong enough to overturn this blood-soaked game!

Have those who gouged out her eyes, cut off her tongue, and laughed as they drank the blood of her loved ones prepared their coffins?

In this life, she will crush her enemies beneath her feet and reclaim everything amid bloody political intrigue, including the general's heart, burning with a love that consumes him to the bone!
