In her previous life, Shen Weiwan, legitimate daughter of the General Who Guards the Nation, took three arrows while protecting the empress. But her half-sister stole the credit and took her fiancé, Prince Jing. In the end, her own relatives framed her, and she died with a heart full of hatred after drinking poison.
Her resentment kept her spirit from passing on. For eighteen years, she watched her enemies live in wealth and splendor.
Reborn, she returns to the starting point of every tragedy: her coming-of-age ceremony at seventeen.
This time, she puts away her naivety and hides her tenderness, leaving only ice tempered in fire in her eyes. Her father favors someone else? Her stepmother is vicious? Her half-sister is a fake innocent? Her fiancé is a hypocrite? No matter. She will personally drag them down from their lofty heights and send them to hell, one by one!
If she cannot rely on her family, she will find another patron. Her gaze falls on Xiao Jin, the ruthless Prince Duan, who commands vast armies and is feared by all.
Under a written contract, she wagers her memories of the next eighteen years, becoming his sharpest blade and helping him purge corrupt officials, stabilize the court, and win battles.
He promises her protection and grants her power, but just as she is ready to step aside after completing her mission, he produces an empress’s crown, intent on keeping her by his side for life.
“Shen Weiwan, I offer you the realm as your betrothal gift. Be my empress.”
Yet before the entire court, she flatly refuses.
“Your Majesty, I don’t want the phoenix crown. I only ask for command of the army!”
