In her previous life, an assassination plot among the aristocracy led to her untimely death.
In this life, she was reborn beneath the illustrious banner of the Iron-Blooded Empire, with the fate of a lowly slave.
From then on, she was highborn as a noble, yet as lowly as grass and as base as mud. During a harrowing campaign of conquest, she suffered oppression and humiliation beyond anything she had ever known. Her noble soul was trampled, her iron will crushed. She clawed her way out from among a million corpses, while a bloodthirsty flame burned fiercely in her heart. Heaven is unjust, treating all things like straw dogs; the empire is unjust, treating its people like weeds. She swore that one day she would bring the world to its knees, overthrow the empire, and destroy the imperial throne.
In a world tossed by chaos, who will rule? Watch as two souls from different eras collide and travel through countless trials together. Will they forge a new age of glory, or descend into the hell of ruin?
