Synopsis

In her previous life, Shen Ciyao, the loyal daughter of a family of women generals who defended the empire, was repaid with a cup of poisoned wine from the treacherous emperor. Reborn at fifteen, she smashed a jade pendant in front of everyone at the palace banquet and called off their engagement: “I’m not worthy of the empress’s throne!” Since her devotion had been betrayed, she would cut off his sources of wealth and take his empire. She founded the Phoenix Pavilion, gathering extraordinary women from across the land to master ancient blind boxes and financial warfare. When the treacherous emperor knelt and begged her to return to the palace, Shen Ciyao was already clad in the imperial robes. “I’m afraid you’re even less worthy of my empire.”
