The General's Legitimate Daughter: This Grudge Will Be Avenged

She died on the Winter Solstice that year. Her whole family had served the empire loyally, yet they could not even earn her a decent burial.

Shen Heng was once the most dazzling legitimate daughter of a military family in Great Qi. Her grandfather died in battle at Yanmen, her father was falsely accused of treason, and her elder brother’s career was ruined. To clear her family’s name, she willingly entered the Eastern Palace as a secondary consort, only to become a pawn in Crown Prince Pei Heng’s bid to control the powerful ministers. For ten years, she endured humiliation, winning him the Eastern Palace, quelling rebellions, and even taking a cup of poisoned wine for him. Yet on the eve of his enthronement, he treated her life as a token of loyalty to offer his new empress.

“Heng Niang, your temper is too fierce. You’re not fit to be empress.”

“Then what am I fit to be?”

“Fit to die.”

As the flames consumed her, she memorized every face.

Reborn, she is fifteen again.

In this life, Shen Heng will no longer endure, wait, or trust. She will reclaim military command, restore her family’s honor, make her enemies pay in blood, and keep her country from falling into ruin.

The one thing she never counted on was Xiao Ce, the hostage prince from an enemy state who had been her sworn adversary in her previous life.
