Return of the Brocade Phoenix: The Reborn Legitimate Daughter's Cry Resounds Across the World

She is breathtakingly beautiful and unmatched in talent, yet betrayed by those closest to her and reduced to a pawn. She gives her heart to a worthless prince and pours her entire family’s strength into helping him ascend the throne, only to be repaid with the slaughter of the hound once the hare is dead. Her whole family is condemned to death. She watches her parents and brothers die in a blood-soaked execution ground, while she herself is falsely accused of treason and imprisoned in the cold palace, where she endures torture and torment. In the end, her half-sister kills her with a cup of poisoned wine, and she dies consumed by hatred. Before she dies, her half-sister sneeringly reveals the whole conspiracy: from the “accidental” drowning when she was young, to the truth behind her mother’s lingering illness, to the suspicious circumstances of her father’s “death in service” on the battlefield. Every last incident was part of a carefully planned scheme to seize the throne and the family fortune!

**Reborn:** When she opens her eyes again, she has returned to the year she turned fifteen! The tragedies have yet to begin. Her parents and brothers are alive, and her family is at the height of its power. Her poisonous half-sister, Shen Yunyao, is still the gentle, charming, seemingly harmless second daughter born to a concubine. Hatred burns fiercely in Shen Yun Zhao’s chest. She vows that this time, she will tear away every false mask, protect her loved ones, and make her enemies pay in blood! She is no longer the sheltered, naive young lady she once was. She is a phoenix reborn from the flames, with a heart of stone and a mind as brilliant as a demon’s.

**Male Lead: Xiao Jue**, the immensely powerful prince of a different surname in the current dynasty, titled Prince Jingyuan. Cold and proud, he is impossible to fathom. He commands a great army and wields power across the court, an existence even the emperor fears. In her previous life, he was one of the “enforcers” responsible for the destruction of Shen Yun Zhao’s family, and the only person who, before she died, closed her eyes with a complicated look in his own. In this life, he becomes the most unpredictable variable in her game of revenge. He is her political adversary, the one on her path to revenge
