The Emperor Slaughtered My Entire Family, So I Wiped Out His Clan and Seized the Throne

My father was the former crown prince's tutor. After he was falsely accused of defecting to the enemy and betraying the country, my entire family was executed. My mother and I were the only ones who slipped through the net. Killing the emperor became my obsession. At five, I entered the assassins' camp and endured demonic training. At sixteen, I took the place of Chen Nianchu, daughter of a seventh-rank county magistrate, and entered the palace selection. Because of my lowly status, I was sent to the Cold Palace just three days after entering the palace, where I suffered every kind of bullying. Afterward, I won over palace servants, planted informants everywhere, and bided my time as I plotted. When my own child was killed, my last line was crossed. After enduring countless hardships, winning over powerful ministers, and cultivating my own loyal faction, I finally rose to the highest position and became ruler of the realm.
