Crossing Through Phoenix Splendor

In her previous life, Shen Fenghua was the Crown Prince’s consort, devoting herself entirely to helping her husband ascend the throne. She offered him a brilliant plan to control the floods, shielded him from three assassination attempts, and even knelt to beg her uncle, who commanded a powerful army, to put down a rebellion. In return, once the Crown Prince became emperor, he issued an edict to execute her entire family. The blood of more than a hundred members of the Shen family stained the Meridian Gate. With her half-sister in his arms, he chuckled in her ear, “A poisonous woman like you thinks you’re fit to rule the empire?”

Reborn at fourteen, she has returned to a time before any of it happened.

This time, she is no longer the gentle, virtuous daughter of the Shen family. Facing her biased and inept father, her sweet-tongued but venomous stepmother, and her half-sister who keeps closing in, she chooses to tear off their masks before they can strike.

She seeks out the greatest enemy she had in her previous life: Pei Changyuan, the future head of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, a ruthless man destined to wield power over the entire court. She curls her lips into a smile. “Lord Pei, how about a deal? I’ll help you get what you want, and you...”

Before she can finish, the man’s icy fingers grip her chin. His deep-set eyes narrow dangerously. “Eldest Miss Shen, if you want to make a deal with me, you’ll have to repay me with your whole life.”

Shen Fenghua smiles radiantly. This time, she’ll hold her fate firmly in her own hands. She’ll make everyone who wronged her pay a hundredfold, and she’ll crown herself empress with her own hands!
