    2. The blood-red sunset and the cawing of crows in the mass grave were the final death knell of Shen Qingluan's past life. The legitimate daughter of the Duke of Dayu, daughter of the Princess of Xiliang, she lived a life of nobility, yet she was misled by her concubine's hypocrisy and misplaced her affections with her fiancé, the Crown Prince. In a single day, the Duke's entire family was executed, and her maternal clan, the Xiliang royal family, was slaughtered! Her mother, Su Rou, was beaten to death, and she herself was reduced to a lowly brothel, suffering endless humiliation, her body left to rot in the wilderness after death! Meanwhile, that venomous mother and daughter, stepping over their corpses, ascended to the pinnacle of glory—the concubine firmly held the position of mistress, and the half-sister reigned supreme! When Shen Qingluan opened her eyes again, she returned with boundless hatred, reborn alongside her mother, Su Rou! In this life, kindness is dead, madness reigns supreme! Mother and daughter join forces, embarking on a path of insane, self-destructive revenge. Hypocritical white lotus? We'll tear off your beautiful skin! Scheming and plotting? We'll send you to your doom! They wanted this heartless man to be utterly humiliated, and their enemy's family line to be separated from their own! On her path of revenge, she was constantly entangled with the powerful and mad Ninth Prince, Helian Ci. He was violent and bloodthirsty, a living Yama feared by the court. Shen Qingluan initially wanted to avoid him, but gradually discovered that he was her only protector in the darkness of her past life. It turned out that after her death, he returned from the borderlands, transforming into a demon of hell for her, slaughtering all his enemies, overthrowing the empire, and ultimately being skinned alive, his bones reduced to ashes, yet he had no regrets. His only regret was not being able to marry her sooner—because she was the only salvation that illuminated his boundless darkness in his childhood. In this life, with bloodshot eyes, he imprisoned her in his arms, his voice obsessive and hoarse: "Qingluan, with the empire as my dowry, will you marry me again?" Shen Qingluan responded with an equally mad laugh: "Uncle, I want the empire, and I want the lives of my enemies too!"
