The Emperor Executed My Entire Family, So I Destroyed His Clan and Seized the Throne

My father was the former Crown Prince’s tutor. After he was framed for treason and accused of siding with the enemy, my entire family was wiped out.

My mother and I were the only ones who escaped.

Killing the emperor became my obsession.

At five, I entered the assassins’ camp and endured hellish training.

At sixteen, I took the place of Chen Nianchu, the daughter of a seventh-rank county magistrate, and entered the palace for the selection.

Because of my low status, I was sent to the Cold Palace just three days after entering the palace, where I suffered every kind of abuse.

But I later won over palace attendants, planted informants everywhere, and quietly plotted my moves.

The murder of my child shattered my last restraint.

After enduring countless hardships, winning over powerful ministers, and cultivating loyal followers, I finally rose to the top and became ruler of the land.
