The Empress Dowager Who Kept Male Favorites and Killed Her Sons

See how a fallen princess turns the tables and becomes a domineering empress dowager in her enemy's empire.

When Xiao Feng was five, her family was destroyed and her kingdom fell. She was taken into the palace as a servant girl, drifting through each day in a daze, haunted by the memory of her family dying tragically.

Then one day, she drowned and was reborn.

She inherited the original owner's body and felt her overwhelming hatred.

Xiao Feng began to change. First, she gradually found powerful patrons, then engineered chance encounters with the princes, slowly cultivating their affection.

Next, she worked to win the eunuchs' favor and joined forces with them, killing the crown prince first and then the emperor.

After that, she killed the eunuchs and the generals. By then, Xiao Feng, only fifteen, had also become empress.

After the new emperor died, Xiao Feng faced her greatest crisis. An empress without power or a son was in a very awkward position.

So she used every means at her disposal to win the ministers' support, then gathered capable men and took them as her lovers, building up her own power.

In the end, she killed the disobedient young emperor, installed her own grandson on the throne, and subjected him to a harsh education so he would carry out her wishes in full.
