[Strong Female Lead + Female-Centered Story + Multiple Male Leads + Power Struggles + Satisfying Read]
For sixteen years, she lived as a substitute. Then, in a single moment, she was sacrificed as a banner. When Shen Yan returns gripped the broken chain and fled the manor with her silver hairpin stained red, she finally learned that she was nothing but a sacrifice for the true phoenix.
Fleeing through a snowy night with assassins on her heels, she stumbles into a mysterious man in black at her darkest hour, then encounters the one person who should never have been in the Prince Regent’s manor.
“So a fake phoenix is supposed to be a furnace for cultivation?” She wiped the blood away with a cold smile. “Not a chance!”
Rumor has it that the Prince Regent, whose power rules the court, sees her as a thorn in his side.
A manor guard defies his master’s orders to save her in her hour of need.
And the gray-robed man hunting her turns out to be the very ally who helps her break the deadlock?
As the truth is gradually revealed, Shen Yan returns stands with her sword in hand, and the powerful ministers behind her bow their heads.
Who says a fake phoenix is inferior to the real one?
I want a life of splendor, so I’ll have one!
