After the Mad Minister Was Reborn, His White Moonlight Turned Dark

【Reborn battle maniac goes all out vs. black-lotus beauty rises to power over mountains of bones】 In his previous life, Jiang Shao had spent his entire life yearning for the young Empress Dowager of the Liang family. Reborn, he plunges into chaos, still haunted by the obsessions of two lifetimes. But there, before him, is the young Empress Dowager who once sat high upon the phoenix throne, now curled up outside his residence. She looks up at him with a smile. “General, I can't find Grandpa.” Only later does he learn that she is no delicate little ray of sunshine. She is a black lotus forged in the ten-day inferno of Shaocheng. At five years old, she drank blood to survive, her skirts soaked in the ghosts of her loved ones. And the woman who has haunted him for two lifetimes now grips a poisoned blade, climbing one step at a time up a ladder to heaven built of bones. “Is the general afraid I'll die, leaving no one to take a blade for you?” Jiang Shao presses his tiger tally into her palm. “I'm afraid that if you die, no one will go to hell with me.” He is willing to be the most ruthless blade in her hand When she kills the emperor for revenge, he bears every curse in her place; When she is made a prince and chancellor, he leads the Black Armor Army against the imperial city. Until one winter solstice, he staggers into the prince's residence, pierced by several arrows, the red plum blossoms in his arms soaked with blood. “Is this year's betrothal gift enough?” Later, the histories record that Prince of Yanbei Liang Zhaos had three people he would never forgive in his life: A corrupt ruler; an enemy; and the madman who always treated his life as a betrothal gift. He weaves a net from the regrets of his previous life and uses the flesh and blood of this one as bait. He wants her to sink into love with her eyes open, and the whole chaotic world to know: Jiang Shao's life belongs to Liang Zhao, and Liang Zhao's sins are indulged by Jiang Shao. 【Two formidable leads baiting each other / mutual salvation / intense push and pull / obsession as a blade】
