Reborn as a Fake Heiress? No, I'm the True Empress!

[Empress + Transmigration + Taking Down Scum + Business Battles + Secret Identity + Devoted Guardian + Past and Present Lives + Decisive Killings + Political Scheming + Redemption]

In her past life, the Imperial Preceptor she trusted most sent her to her death with a cup of poison.

Not one official in the court spoke up.

When she opened her eyes again, Li Huang, the Empress of Great Xia, had become a pitiful heiress unloved by her father.

Looking at the fake affection and vicious schemes before her,

she sneered: this felt exactly like the betrayal she had faced in the Golden Throne Hall in her previous life.

In this life, she would cut off all ties and trust only herself.

She would crush her family, seize the company, and grind her enemies one by one into the dirt.

Just as she was about to reach the summit, viewing everyone as a pawn,

the man she had always kept her guard up against, covered in blood, took a fatal blow for her.

He collapsed into her arms, trembling as he pressed an ancient, bloodstained tiger tally into her palm.

His smile was pale, yet content:

“Your Majesty… the traitors… I have slain them for you… I have protected… your realm…”

Li Huang stared at the tiger tally she had personally bestowed upon the General Who Guards the Nation in her previous life, stunned.

(A ruthless, iron-willed career-driven empress x a patient, protective, devoted general. A powerful pair, joined in an ultimate story of redemption.)
