A Joy Reborn: The Empress Returns to Build Her Career

Wen Xiyun was the empress of the Great Liang Kingdom, its most beautiful woman and its most exalted.

But ten years of palace intrigue earned her nothing but the title of Great Liang's venomous empress.

Ten years as empress, ten years of scheming in the palace: Wen Xiyun could neither hold on to her throne nor save her children. In the end, she lost her own life as well.

Only in her final moments did she suddenly realize that she had been the fool all along.

But who was she? She was Wen Xiyun, the maddest and most ruthless woman in all of Great Liang. Even in death, she would drag her enemies with her to the underworld.

Now reborn, Wen Xiyun would not waste the second chance Heaven had given her.

Her half-sister wanted to use her influence to rise in rank? Fine. She would help her climb, then make sure she fell hard enough to be shattered to pieces.

Her father wanted to use her beauty to become the emperor's father-in-law? Certainly. She would make him the emperor's father-in-law, then strip him of his power and influence.

A concubine wanted to use her foolishness to scheme for her mother's position as principal wife? Fine. In her next life, she should choose better parents. Perhaps then she could become the legitimate wife.

As for the princes, all they wanted was to use her family's influence to fight for the throne.

Since she was destined to struggle in this maelstrom of power, Wen Xiyun decided to keep that power firmly in her own hands.

Becoming empress wasn't her ultimate goal. Wouldn't it be better to sit on the throne herself?

She hadn't earned the name Great Liang's venomous empress for nothing. When it came to ruthlessness and strategy, Wen Xiyun was second to none.

Why shouldn't she be the one to sit on that exalted throne?
