Reborn into a General’s Family, the Sickly Power Broker Insists on Being My Blade

In her previous life, Shang Wanzhou's family was renowned for its loyal service, yet their reward was the destruction of her clan and a death by a thousand arrows.

Reborn before the tragedy took place, she was bound to a Snark System. On the outside, she appeared to be a delicate, pitiful orphan from a military family; inside, she was a black-hearted schemer ready to topple the dynasty at any moment.

To protect her family, she set her sights on Helan Cui, a cruel, disabled, and unhinged imperial uncle.

With tearful eyes, she said meekly, “This humble girl is willing to stay by Your Highness's side and be the one who understands you.”

[Shang Wanzhou's inner thoughts: This bastard is so guarded. If I hadn't seen you become emperor in my previous life, I'd have stuck a needle in you and crippled you, then taken the throne myself!]

She didn't know that Helan Cui could hear her thoughts.

Watching the girl put on a stunning performance, Helan Cui slowly smiled. “Very well. I'll marry you.”

Later, she killed and set fires, while he handed her the blade and cleaned up the bodies.

Shang Wanzhou: “Weren't we supposed to be using each other? Why have you fallen for me?”

Helan Cui gripped her slender waist, his eyes bloodshot. “The empire is yours. You belong to me.”
