Reborn: The Empress Is a Black Lotus

The audiobook of the same title is now available on Ximalaya. Made with care, so come give it a listen, everyone!

Jiang Li commanded the foreign races and wielded immense power, making the Heavenly Court wary enough to send people to wipe her out.

To eradicate her completely, the Heavenly Court sent her fiance to scatter her soul.

The cool and self-possessed young star lord Chen Ran arrived bearing Heaven's command, dressed in flowing white robes as he descended from the sky.

Jiang Li leaned back in her seat, smiled politely, and greeted him. "You're here."

The Heavenly Court: "This woman deserves a thousand deaths!"

+++++++++++++"Show her mercy today, and tomorrow she'll have you under her thumb!"

Chen Ran held the Soul-Scattering Order, but his fiance filter was firmly in place: I know, but she smiled at me!

And so his hand slipped. Instead of scattering her soul, he gave her a reincarnation voucher and sent her on a free, three-lifetime tour of the mortal realm.

The Heavenly Court: F***!

The moment Jiang Li opened her eyes again, she had been reborn as Yue Shangxiao, an outer disciple of the Xiao family. When she saw her master beat her and her senior brothers bully her, she sprang into action, fought for the Sacred Spring and seized the Tearbreaker, becoming a queen who commanded the world.

But when it came to love, she found herself caught in a tangled romantic mess.

With the blessing of the Murong ancestors, two peerless young men were born.

The elder brother, Murong Lian, was known as the Phantom Butterfly of the Hollow Chord, a breathtakingly beautiful, untouchable flower who killed without hesitation. The younger brother, Murong Xiao, was known as the Blossoms of the Waning Moon, free-spirited and unrestrained, leaving corpses strewn everywhere with a wave of his hand. The immortal sects didn't use the word "demon" to describe them. They used their names to describe demons.

To escape the Xiao family, Yue Shangxiao wanted to form an alliance with them.

Murong Xiao rolled his eyes. "Why should I care about you?"

Who could have guessed that a mishap during his cultivation would lead him to need divine blood? Murong Xiao gave a cold snort, and from then on, the lone wanderer was no longer traveling alone. Yue Shangxiao planned to wait until enough time had passed before returning to the divine altar and cutting ties with the mortal world.

But as the days went by, she gradually found herself lodged in the very center of his heart.

Rouge and face powder? Only the most expensive! Don't know how to apply makeup? I do, that's all that matters! Want to get married? I can't wait even one more day... The ruthless Blossoms of the Waning Moon gave her all the tenderness he had, yet this ungrateful girl was still his elder brother's moonlight?!

Everyone knew Murong Lian as aloof and eccentric, a man who killed without batting an eye and was the greatest demon of the age. Everyone was afraid to go near him. But after he met his beloved Yue Shangxiao, the great demon turned into a clingy, pitiful little thing, following her everywhere and obeying her every wish.

Yue Shangxiao: "Stop following me."

Murong Lian stopped in his tracks, his eyes full of hurt. "So you've really changed your mind. You promised before that I'd be your queen consort."

Yue Shangxiao: ???

Murong Xiao: !!!

The fiery, black-hearted flower's eyes instantly turned red. Later, deep in the Nine Netherworlds, Murong Xiao alone defeated ten thousand foes, pardoned millions of spirits, and ascended to godhood.

Dressed in dark robes and silver chains that snapped in the wind, the corners of his eyes lifted, blood-red as he demanded of her, "So you like the new and discard the old, do you? Still have feelings for him, do you? I, the dignified Emperor of Souls, lowered myself to be your queen consort, and you dare abandon me and choose someone else?!"

Content warnings:

[The heroine's career and romance are equally important. She is the male lead's and the supporting male character's beloved, with no substitute trope.]

[The heroine's current life is one-on-one, both leads are each other's only partners, and they pursue each other mutually. However, in her previous life, she had a romantic storyline with the supporting male character.]

[The male lead is a fiery, black-hearted flower. He occasionally plays a genuine villain in the early part of the story, and later has to grovel to win his wife back.]

[Generally updated daily.]

Fiery, black-hearted flower male lead vs. a heroine who's wilder than he is (Please add it to your collection, cuties! Mwah!)

Coming soon: The Little White Flower I Picked Up Turned Out to Be a Max-Level Big Shot. Here's the blurb below. If you like it, please add it to your collection!

A blind young master got lost and ran into a gravely ill little girl.

The little girl had been hunted down. Her forehead was burning hot, and she clutched Bai Xichao's clothes as she sobbed pitifully, the very picture of a delicate little white flower who wouldn't survive past the third episode. Kindhearted Bai Xichao carried her home, gave her medicine, wiped her face, and tucked her in, taking care of her in every possible way.

Later, disaster struck the Bai household, and Bai Xichao fell into poverty overnight, forced to live by selling off the family's possessions. Just as he was calculating how many days they could get by if he sold his grandfather's colored-glass mirror, the little white flower had already stepped lightly onto a shoddy wicker chair and shot tens of thousands of feet into the air, light as a swallow, straight into the clouds!

It turned out the pitiful little girl he'd been raising all along was a max-level big shot...

One gentle kiss from her was enough to restore Bai Xichao's sight.

From then on, the two lived like a pair of immortals. But suddenly, a rumor began to spread around town.

[Beyond the mountains and across the sea, there is a group of utterly dark evil spirits.]

[They are dangerous and alluring.]

Bai Xichao looked up at the mysterious girl in dark robes across from him and fell into deep thought.

[Evil spirits are greedy. They can devour hundreds of ghosts, thousands of demon beasts, and tens of thousands of divine weapons!]

Bai Xichao breathed a sigh of relief: Surely that had nothing to do with her. Ordinary people could only wield one divine weapon.

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Nanqi calmly conjured seven divine weapons and had them sweep and mop the floor, do the laundry, and prepare dinner. She even used Han Fengzi to suck up all the dust in the house, then turned to him with a bright smile. "Brother Yuan, dinner's ready."

Bai Xichao: Th-this...

[Utterly dark evil spirits are neither human nor god. They have only an empty shell, with no internal organs, no heartbeat, and no body heat. They don't understand human nature; they are cold-blooded, violent, and utterly cruel.]

Bai Xichao sat bolt upright. He knew this was serious.

Later, when the Ming Shang Sword emerged, the world fell into chaos. The once immaculate and dignified Immortal Venerable shed his false facade and revealed his vicious true nature. To seize the throne, he slaughtered every last member of the immortal sects.

Bai Xichao lay on the ground, barely breathing, waiting for death to come.

Then a tremendous force swept in from the horizon. The person became a gale, then a blazing inferno, as if she wanted to burn everything in the world to ashes.

He knew his former little white flower had arrived.

The Ming Shang Sword's energy erupted, carrying endless murderous intent. It swept across all the hypocrites on the battlefield and burned them to ashes. Looking at the man sprawled on the ground, barely breathing, Ye Nanqi curled her lips and said with a crisp laugh, "Brother Yuan, are you going to send me away this time?"

She bent down and lifted Bai Xichao's chin. The corners of her eyes were faintly red as she vented her anger in a hoarse voice. "You raised me. Don't you want me anymore?"
