The Empress Goes on a Killing Spree After Being Reborn

In the bitter winter of Qianlong’s thirteenth year, Gao Xiyue died with hatred in her heart.

When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the very beginning of the poison’s effects, three years earlier!

In her previous life, Jin Yuyan’s sachet had left her barren, Bai Ruiji’s zither strings had gnawed at her to the bone, and Hailan had ambushed her with an embroidery needle. In the end, she watched as Ruyi ascended to the throne of Empress.

This time, she laid her web of traps three years in advance:

Jin Yuyan’s sachet was laced with deadly poison, Bai Ruiji’s zither strings were soaked in madness-inducing drugs, and Hailan’s embroidery frame concealed a nest of curses.

Everyone still thought she was the same arrogant, foolish Noble Consort.

Not until the day Ruyi was deposed did they realize:

The woman seated beside the Dragon Throne, idly playing with her nail guards, had long since taken control of everything.

“I’ve had my fun,” she said with a soft laugh, crushing the Hundred Flowers Register between her fingers. “It’s time to send you all on your way.”
