They Made You a Palace Maid, Yet You Command Yin and Yang and Protect the Realm

My older sister was tortured to death by the Empress, and all 173 members of the Ling family were slaughtered.

I entered the palace as a lowly servant girl, seeking only to make them pay in blood.

The Empress: “This Morning Dew Flower Essence Cream is truly miraculous. I’ve never looked more radiant!”

I smiled without a word. That night, I used my sister’s hair to prepare a sinister cosmetic.

Consort Hui: “You’re a clever girl. You’ll go far serving me.”

I respectfully agreed, then secretly mixed Heart-Eroding Powder into her sleep incense.

Emperor Chu: “You have an extraordinary bearing. Would you be willing to serve me?”

I knelt and bowed my head, while secretly refining the fortune of the imperial dragon vein into my body.

Some called me a demoness who used evil sorcery to wreak havoc in the harem.

Others called me a goddess who could raise the dead and turn the tide of fate.

Only when I stood in the Golden Throne Hall and forced the emperor to personally proclaim,

“Ling Ruoyue, Goddess Who Protects the Nation, shall rank as a prince and need not kneel before the emperor!”

did everyone finally understand:

I had set this revenge in motion on the very first day I entered the palace.

The Empress went mad, Prince Yu died, and the Duke of Anguo’s entire clan was wiped out.

As for me, I went from palace maid to goddess in just one year.

In this life, I’ll make everyone who owes me kneel as they repay their debts.
