She died on the winter solstice that year, and her whole family was so loyal that they could not exchange for a cup of funeral wine.
Shen Heng was once the most dazzling daughter of a general in Da Qi. His grandfather was killed in battle at Yanmen, his father was falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy, and his brother's official career was ruined. In order to vindicate Zhaoxue, she was willing to enter the East Palace as a concubine, but she became a pawn for Prince Pei Heng to check and balance the powerful ministers. After ten years of enduring humiliation, she secured the Eastern Palace for him, quelled the rebellion, and even withheld poisonous wine. But on the eve of his ascension to the throne, he used her life as a certificate of submission to the new queen.
"Ms. Heng, you are too hot-tempered and not suitable to be a queen."
"What's that suitable for?"
"Suitable for—death."
The moment the fire burned her body, she remembered everyone's faces.
She was fifteen years old when she was reborn.
In this life, Shen Heng no longer tolerates, waits, or believes. She wants to take back her military power, rehabilitate her family, make her enemies pay with blood, and prevent her family from overthrowing.
The only thing she didn't take into account was the enemy hostage with whom she had been at odds with her in her previous life - Xiao Ce.
