The Beautiful, Strong, Tragic Cannon Fodder Is Reborn and Takes the Dynasty by Storm

(A tragic beauty in her past life, a little bitter melon; a future empress in the making)

In her past life, little Xingyan was a pitiful girl whom her adoptive father and brothers sold off as a tool again and again. She was beaten while doing chores at three, sold to the Hidden Guard Camp at five, and sent home at ten, only for her adoptive father to demand that she help him deceive people. After running away, her kindness earned her a commercial empire, but her adoptive father and brothers tricked her out of every last coin and gave her away as a gift. In the end, she died a miserable death defending her dignity.

After the tragic little fool Xingyan died, she was reborn in the very year she had escaped from the Hidden Guard Camp and returned home.

She immediately ran away, but her adoptive brother tricked her again, claiming that without household registration she would be treated as a runaway slave. This time, Xingyan had finally grown wiser. She went to ask her biological father, the dreaded Prince of Lingnan, for household registration.

And so the mad Prince of Lingnan stopped acting mad. Every day, he raised his little girl, trained her in martial arts, and made plans for her future. Jiang Henfeng, the world-weary traitor from her past life, also set out to conquer the realm for Xingyan.

Sikong Rui, the Prince of Lingnan's chief strategist, even tricked Xingyan, saying, “Young lady, if you want to protect the prince's honor and safeguard the people around you, you may have to create a golden age!”

And so Xingyan began her diary of becoming an empress.
