[Two Powerful Leads, Historical, Satisfying Read, Male-Lead Story, No System, Strong Female Lead]
After transmigrating into the body of a concubine-born daughter who was abused and abandoned by the general's household, Qin Yao realized she had a long road ahead of her.
Revenge was a must.
Unless she tore apart the deadbeat father who had brought her into the world but never raised her, and the sister who had nearly killed her before forcing her onto a beggar, Qin Yao wouldn't be able to rest easy.
But the original owner's fragmented memories made it hard for her to find her footing.
Then Qin Yao met her former fiancé, now the Emperor.
A poor fellow whose hold on the throne was so precarious that he could be deposed at any moment.
The full truth of what the original owner had gone through finally became clear.
Thanks to her deadbeat father's brilliant scheming, the sister who had harmed her became the Crown Princess. When the new emperor ascended the throne, she rose to the very top and became empress.

Hiding by the emperor's side, Qin Yao served as his adviser, assassin, vanguard, and more. She turned the tables at every opportunity, helping the powerless emperor reclaim his authority and get revenge, then slapping her power-hungry sister, who had tried to become empress in her own right, straight into oblivion.
