From Condemned Minister’s Orphan to Founding Empress

Shen Jinghong was betrayed by her fiancé, Murong Che, and her half-sister, Shen Qingyuan. Her entire family was executed for treason, and she was forced to swallow a drug that robbed her of her voice. She watched her father be beheaded in the marketplace and her mother hang herself at home. As she lay dying, she threw herself against the palace wall, blood spilling three feet, and swore a bitter oath: if she ever had another life, Murong Che and Shen Qingyuan would pay for their crimes, and she would drag every one of her enemies into hell.
