Xiao Jinluan was once empress of the Ninefold Palace. Then she was deposed, and her entire family was executed. Swallowing her humiliation along with her blood, she crossed into another world to live again. Her once-gentle husband, Lu Zhaozhuo, had pushed her into the abyss with his own hands, unaware that she had already risen anew from the ashes. On the night she returned to the palace, she rallied her old allies and laid siege to the city, swearing by fire to burn away the royal family's hypocrisy. He knelt in the ruins, begging her to look back. She only sneered: “The hell you gave me, I turned into an empire with my own hands.” This time, she seeks not revenge, but the summit. And Lu Zhaozhuo is merely the first stepping stone she will burn beneath her throne.
