The Phoenix Sings in the Ninth Heaven, and the World Is Remade

She once fell into the dust, but she was determined to rule this vast realm as a woman

[A convict slave from the start, driven by blood vengeance]

Shen Wei will never forget the year she turned ten, when a raging fire destroyed the Shen family estate.

From an honored daughter of a noble family to a convict slave marked with a brand, she forged a gaze sharp as a knife in the midst of beatings and humiliation.

A wooden hairpin hides poison; half a ruined ledger becomes her blade. She will make this cannibal kingdom pay for its crimes in blood!

[Twin stars rise, love and power entangled]

The Seventh Prince, Xiao Xuan, is both an abyss and a blazing fire.

He coldly uses her as a pawn and pushes her into a battlefield, yet when war engulfs the city, he takes an arrow meant for her with his own back. “Shen Mingyi, I want both you and this realm!”

The healer Xie Yi is the only moonlight in her muddy path through life.

He gives her silver needles to heal the world and uses his businesses to build her a ladder to success. In the end, as blood stains the monument to the new order, he says, “Weiyu, go and see for me... the age in which women can achieve anything.”

[The phoenix cries across the heavens, and the world is remade]

From reading people’s hearts in a convict slave’s tent to denouncing the ministers in the Golden Throne Hall;

From standing alone to burn the provisions and halt a million-strong cavalry to wielding the pen that ends the ancient privileges of the great clans

She founds schools for girls, fosters every trade, and opens the civil examinations to women, crushing the chains of “female inferiority” to dust with her own hands!

The emperor on the throne reaches out to her. “Mingyi, share the realm with me from the Phoenix Throne.”

But she smiles and turns away, her white robes vanishing into the mists of history:

“I never wanted a crown... I want every woman, for generations to come, to become a mirror that illuminates this world!”
