Enraged, the white lotus will declare, "Who do you think I am? You can't mess with me!" The maid will then sever the white lotus's arm with a single sword strike. Then, the white lotus's parents will appear, and the female lead will kill them all with a single blow. The female lead is incredibly vengeful, starting her revenge in the very first episode. She ruthlessly eliminates those who murdered her people, leaving no stone unturned. In particular, she takes down 54 (spoiled brats) from a superior kingdom, who, after being brought there by the princess, killed her father and brothers, along with 100,000 Chu family soldiers. Later, the female lead goes to the superior kingdom and wipes out an entire household in one night, all because of one (spoiled brat). The young master was massacred, his entire family chopped into mincemeat. The heads of the culprits, including the princess, were kept and used as offerings to the dead. Those who had turned the heroine's mother into a treasure-stealing array—the princess, the empress, the empress dowager, and others—were exterminated, their entire clans chopped into mincemeat, their ancestral graves dug up. During the massacre, a large pot was used to cook the internal organs of her children and feed them to the victims. It was satisfying, but a bit gruesome. The princess and empress pierced her mother's head with rivets to create a sacrificial array. Later, she turned them all into human pigs, stuffing them alive into the array to modify it. She rose from a lowly kingdom to become empress, conquering all the way to a high-ranking kingdom, and continued to reign as empress—a truly exhilarating experience from beginning to end.

    This book doesn't have absolutely good or absolutely evil characters. The female protagonist is unbound by worldly conventions; she's kind to those who are kind to her, showing no regard for filial piety. To avenge her sister, she doesn't hesitate, arresting and torturing anyone based on a mere clue, even after discovering their innocence, without apologizing and instead beating them up. However, she does a lot for the people afterward. The book's greatest strength lies in its depiction of the war between the two nations; otherwise, the female protagonist would be utterly despicable.

    1️⃣ Strong female lead, no romance, no time travel. The "black-hearted" heroine is the one who takes the initiative to be "evil" throughout. Her political schemes and calculations are ruthless and bloody. The heroine is incredibly powerful, both crazy and vicious, not a saint but full of love. She never holds grudges and is extremely adept at causing breast cancer. If you enjoy reading this, you might as well issue her a "High-Risk Demolition Permit"—she really will overturn the imperial palace! After reading this, you'll delete "swallowing your anger" from your life overnight, and you'll be walking around with crazy background music. 2️⃣ A fierce woman who kills at the drop of a hat VS a tall, strong, and hardworking scholar who strives for officialdom. The heroine is skilled in both medicine and poison, with explosive combat power. The hero is cunning and likes to use his beauty to seduce the heroine, creating a kind of cute contrast. It's a story of mutual redemption. While the heroine redeems those around her, those around her are also redeeming her. The heroine has only learned to kill since childhood. She is intelligent and insightful but doesn't like to think. She's quick to fight and doesn't know how to love or understand emotions. The saying "loving someone is like tending a flower" is perfectly embodied by the male lead, who surrounds the female lead with love. The emperor is also wonderful, guiding her gently and offering gentle guidance, giving the female lead a fatherly love that no one else can provide. The male lead is a tall, imposing man, but a scholar with no physical strength, creating a charming contrast. He is very responsible, cleaning up after the female lead even before falling in love with her. He understands her, loves and praises her, and never refuses her. The entire story is both humorous and heartwarming.
