Shattered Moon, Surging Tides

She drowned to death in the past, while her husband held her half-sister and laughed softly. “Don’t dirty your hands.”

When Shen Jinglan opened her eyes again, she had returned to three months before her wedding.

Everyone expected her to keep playing the gentle, frail eldest daughter of the Shen family, willing to sacrifice everything.

Instead, she smiled as she snapped a gold hairpin, burying her overwhelming hatred deep in her eyes.

This time, she would live differently.

Frailty was her mask, gentleness the sheath for her blade.

She spun webs within the inner chambers and laid plans amid the laughter of the powerful. Everything that had been taken from her would be dismantled and reclaimed, piece by piece.

When her hypocritical fiancé was ruined and her venomous half-sister sank into the mire, she stood atop the commercial empire she had built, only to discover that the mysteries of her past life remained unsolved. Beside the imperial throne, the hand that could turn the tides was the true abyss.

And the man who had always stood by her side, both righteous and wicked, offered her his sword and his heart:

“Shen Jinglan, I’ll help you avenge yourself, and I’ll stand with you to protect your country. But I’m claiming the rest of your life for myself.”

This is a revenge story born from the depths of hell, and an epic tale of a woman reclaiming her fate and reshaping the world.
