Poisoned wine in the Cold Palace, flames scorching her heart. Shen Ning remembered Xiao Che’s eyes until the day she died: cold and resolute. She and the blood of her loyal family had been nothing more than stepping stones to his absolute power.
Reborn, she went from a gentle, gracious consort to a vengeful spirit. She would plan every move and leave no stone unturned, making everyone who had wronged her pay in blood! The favored consort was a hypocrite? She would tear off her mask! The powerful maternal relatives were tyrannical? She would cut off their claws! And as for Xiao Che… She had once loved him with all her heart. Now she would make him suffer the same heart-piercing pain!
The palace walls witnessed bitter struggles, and blood stained the ground. She climbed over mountains of corpses and seas of blood to become empress. Yet upon the throne, among Xiao Che’s belongings, she discovered a shocking truth: he had never betrayed her. His coldness had been protection in their darkest hour, and his retreat had been an act of selfless love. Her vengeance had crushed the only light in her life to dust with her own hands.
The Golden Throne Hall stood empty, with the realm stretching around her. Gazing at the desolation filling the hall, Shen Ning finally understood: she had won the world, but lost forever the man who had loved her with his life. A lone phoenix perched in an empty palace, with no branch to call home. All that remained was eternal regret, gnawing at her to the bone.
