Wei Mingzhu was the noble legitimate daughter of a general’s household and the Supreme Empress of Southern Qi. She married him for seven years and helped him ascend the throne. She never imagined that, while pregnant, she would receive an imperial decree banishing her to the Cold Palace! Her father was executed, and the once-glorious General’s Residence crumbled in an instant. Only as she lay dying did she realize that she had been nothing more than a stepping stone on his path to the throne! As blood pooled beneath her, she heard the joyous music of his wedding to another woman outside the Cold Palace, and all her hopes were shattered! With liquid silver poured over her head, she swore a bitter oath in her blood: “Heaven above and earth below, I, Wei Mingzhu, swear here and now: if I am ever reborn, I will make you repay tenfold, a hundredfold, a thousandfold for the humiliation you have inflicted on me today!” When she awoke, she found herself reborn ten years in the past. This time, she would never let fate dictate her life again. Those who had hurt her would pay for their crimes in blood! Let the ghosts of hell come to claim their lives. Scheming and political maneuvering, she would take them all on! Whoever hurt her once before would pay ten times over today! Kings, nobles, generals, and ministers, princes and vassal lords, she would make every one of them fall at her feet. Watch as the discarded empress of the past shines in this life, peerlessly defying heaven! Hmph! Her former husband wants her back? The doors and windows are all gone. She swears she’ll have her revenge! What, playing the victim? Scheming? Fine, let’s see who’s the real expert. They say she’s cruel and ruthless, infamous far and wide, so why are so many suitors still showing up at her door? She thought she would have no attachments in this life, but she never expected to get tangled up with a dark, calculating man she just couldn’t shake off! What will happen when a strong-willed, arrogant woman meets a handsome, expressionless, cunning man? After a journey through heartbreak and vengeance spanning two lifetimes, with several stunning men who would give her their whole hearts, whom should she choose?
