The Beloved Empress Returns

“Your Majesty, do you know why you were overthrown and your kingdom destroyed?” Xia Jiuli: “...Get lost!” In his previous life, Yue Jinyuan risked life and limb for his good friend, only to die with an arrow through his heart. Reborn, he vows to leave that traitor with nothing and make him pay for his blood debt. Huh? Has his good friend been replaced by someone else? And that someone is a woman? All at once, he is thrown into turmoil. Should he still take revenge? The Crown Prince of the Chi Kingdom, a gifted physician with an eccentric personality, was also betrayed by his good friend and died a gruesome death in a snake pit. After returning to life in another person’s body, she becomes Xia Jiuli, the cruel and ruthless false Crown Prince of the Xia Kingdom. She smiles coldly and gets straight to the point: fight! A powerful minister petitions to depose the Crown Prince? Kill him! The consorts plot to persuade the emperor to appoint another heir? Fight them! The princes refuse to accept it and try to seize the throne? Destroy them! Xia Jiuli treats the battlefield like a game and human lives like ants. Just as she is having the time of her life, she suddenly realizes that the handsome men around her are turning dark one by one. The ethereal Imperial Preceptor: “The Crown Prince is depraved and immoral. I, the Imperial Preceptor, will gladly sacrifice myself to save the people and restore peace to the realm.” The iron-fisted tyrant: “Be my woman, or my cavalry will trample the Xia Kingdom.” Only when the imperial city is surrounded by cavalry and a phoenix-emblazoned empress’s robe is brought before her, the emperor, does she realize that they are all the same person. “Put on the phoenix robe and marry me!” He started a war across the land for no reason other than to bring her and her kingdom beneath his wing, making the Xia Kingdom a vassal state of his Cangyue and making her his woman. Their bond was forged in a past life, and the debt is owed in this one. One-on-one romance, a strong heroine and an equally strong hero. Come on in!
