Reborn: The First-Rank Concubine’s Daughter

“The vile Murong Xiao Xiao is shameless and unchaste. She committed adultery with another man and brought disgrace upon the imperial harem. Her crimes are heinous, bringing shame upon the royal family. She is unfit to be empress. I utterly despise her actions, and therefore strip her of her title as empress. Yet, remembering the bond we shared as husband and wife, I will spare her corpse and grant her poisoned wine. So decrees the Emperor!”

Murong Xiao Xiao sniffled, her timid eyes brimming with tears as she shook her head over and over. “I… I didn’t do it, Elder Sister. I didn’t. Believe me, I truly did nothing to betray His Majesty. Let me see him. I’ll explain everything, and he’ll believe me.”

Watching Murong Xiao Xiao’s body convulse in agony, the woman’s smile widened without end. She crouched down and leaned close to Murong Xiao Xiao’s ear, speaking in a barely audible voice. “Murong Xiao Xiao, go die. I am the legitimate eldest daughter of the Murong family. The empress’s throne belongs to me. You were nothing but a pawn to His Majesty, a pawn that helped him ascend the throne.”

Murong Xiao Xiao stared blankly at Murong Ying Xue. She could never have imagined that her gentle, lovable elder sister would say something so cold.

Since life had given her another chance, she would never again be a lowly bug for others to trample. She would take control of her own fate and show no mercy to those cruel, malicious people.
