In his previous life, Jiang Jinhan was the most ruthless official serving under Empress Xiao Fengque. To climb the ranks, he persecuted loyal subjects and launched mass arrests of martial artists, carrying out countless secret and shameful deeds for Xiao Fengque.
But in the end, once the birds were gone, the bow was put away. After securing her throne, Xiao Fengque gave Jiang Jinhan a cup of poisoned wine and had him executed.
Reborn, Jiang Jinhan finally understood. He would not only save his own life, but take his revenge on that cold-hearted empress!
And so the atmosphere at court changed overnight. Jiang Jinhan, once a man who killed without batting an eye, began standing up for upright officials who opposed the empress, and fiercely denounced her persecution of martial arts sects. He deliberately let the Second Princess, the greatest threat to Xiao Fengque, escape, and even sheltered a princess from the fallen dynasty.
People from all walks of life who had once despised Jiang Jinhan began to see him differently. This was no lapdog of the empress. He was a statesman who carried the fate of the realm on his shoulders!
