Empress Lingyue: Reborn from the Burning Palace

The Lingyue: Rebirth Through the Burning Palace is a historical romance centered on revenge by a “moonlight” beloved, weaving together struggles for imperial power, shocking twists of identity, and tangled love and hatred. Shen Weixi, the legitimate daughter of a former dynasty's Grand Tutor, was once the brightest jewel in the capital. She devoted her family's resources and her own talents to helping her childhood friend, Prince Xiao Jinyuan, ascend the throne. She became his new dynasty's Noble Consort and the beloved he swore he would “never let down in this life.” Yet on the very day of his coronation, Xiao Jinyuan gave her poisoned wine, claiming that “leaving the Shen family alive would be a threat,” and slaughtered all three hundred members of her family. As she lay dying, Shen Weixi overheard palace maids gossiping and learned that she had been nothing but a pawn to Xiao Jinyuan all along. The one he truly wanted to protect was a servant girl in the dungeon, Liu Qingmei, who looked remarkably like Shen Weixi and was already carrying his child.

Against all odds, Shen Weixi crawled out of a mass grave, transformed from the gentle noblewoman she once was. Hiding her identity, she drew on her extraordinary cunning and business acumen to establish Linglong Pavilion, the capital's premier pleasure house, and turn it into a hub for information and power deals. Lurking in the shadows as the “One Returned from Hell,” she shed her innocence and became poisoned jade concealing a blade of ice, carrying out her coldest revenge with the utmost elegance.

Liu Qingmei, once the daughter of a servant girl who served as Shen Weixi's “shadow,” used her resemblance to Shen Weixi and her mastery of disguise to rise to the position of empress. Knowing that everything she had was stolen from Shen Weixi, she hated her with all her heart. She devoted herself to erasing every trace that could prove she was a “fake,” manipulating Xiao Jinyuan's feelings to subject Shen Weixi to one precise emotional torment after another.
