**On her wedding night, she was buried alive. She returns drenched in blood, determined to make every enemy pay in blood.**
Chu Mingzhao died on her wedding night.
Her husband, Mu Jue, heir to the Marquis of Ningyuan, gently caressed her face, then turned and personally nailed her into a coffin.
Her half-sister, Chu Mingyue, nestled in his arms and scattered the last handful of dirt with a smile. "I'll carry on your poetic legacy for you, Sister."
Her resentment soared to the heavens. An ancient blood jade chose her as its master, and Chu Mingzhao was reborn five years in the past.
In this life, with a poison-coated silver hairpin in her left hand and a spirit-communing blood jade in her right, she swears to tear apart this cruel world that devours the weak!
As imperial authority wanes and warlords carve up the realm, she maneuvers between the Crown Prince's faction and the great clans.
With undercurrents stirring in the martial world and survivors of the former dynasty lying in wait, she forms an alliance with Xiao Zhuo, the masked commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
"A partnership?" He grips her chin. "Every time you lie, Miss Chu, your earlobes turn red."
