Synopsis

Reborn for revenge + palace intrigue and putting scoundrels in their place + the emperor is a dog + becoming empress dowager + a powerful minister as a blade that shakes the court

[The mild-mannered scholar who turns utterly ruthless vs. the general's daughter, a reborn, bloodthirsty demon empress]

Could a Yangzhou singing girl really become empress?

“No, they're wrong. Taohua will kill the tyrant and rule this realm!”

She is Shen Wanyin, daughter of the Shen family, whose maternal relatives are the generals of the Prince of Zhenbei's household.

In her past life, her mother trusted her scoundrel father, while she trusted the scoundrel crown prince and her “false best friend.” As a result, the entire Prince of Zhenbei's household was executed.

Accused of plotting to murder a prince, she died pierced by ten thousand arrows.

After spending seven years as a wandering soul, she is reborn overnight as Jiang Taohua, a beautiful Yangzhou singing girl whom the imperial censor intends to present to the chief minister.

The treacherous minister has come right to her doorstep. How could she pass up this chance?

She will take hold of him as the blade in her hand, claim the empress's throne, kill her enemies, and reopen the old case!

At first, Pei Ye sees the woman before him as nothing but a ruthless, vulgar creature who, relying on her looks and nerve, hopes to climb the social ladder by attaching herself to royalty.

As it happens, he needs a spy in the harem. He decides to give her a little encouragement and see how much trouble she can cause...

But she dares to set her sights on him, driving him to curse, “You shameless wretch!”

Only later does he realize he was wrong.

Beneath the bed curtains, she smiles, tender and alluring. “Adoptive father, your blade has gone blunt. Let Taohua...”

Before she can finish, her cheeks flush beneath the vivid red of her rouge. He lowers his head and weeps. “Yinyin, your teacher was wrong.”

In her past life, he was the lofty teacher. He scolded her for being too dense to teach, yet secretly prepared her dowry.

In this life, the treacherous minister and demon empress stand together. He lowers his head for her, becoming her ladder to success and the blade in her hand, helping her seize power over the realm and ascend to the heights of power.

Ye shines upon the peach blossoms, bright and radiant.
