After Twelve Years as a Slave, I’m Reborn to Claim the Phoenix Throne and Set the Palace Rules Straight!

Bai Zhao was a slave for twelve years, from the Chancellor's residence to Jingren Palace.

Her elder half-sister was as serene as a chrysanthemum, never competing for favor in the harem.

Bai Zhao devoted herself heart and soul to her, only to suffer endless abuse and meet a gruesome end.

Reborn into this life, Bai Zhao won't put up with it anymore!

She'll play the white lotus, enjoy the honor of being empress, and turn the entire harem upside down!

She plans to clear her mother's name, then retire from the world and cultivate in seclusion.

But... the emperor, who has always been ascetic and a master strategist, follows her all the way to Lingyin Temple.

Beneath the blue lanterns and before the ancient Buddha, he is dressed in white.

His handsome face is no longer shadowed by the murderous aura of old.

He joins his well-defined fingers together, full of tender devotion.

"I, too, shall take refuge in the Buddha. I shall take refuge with A Zhao."
