The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Shen Miao, the Di daughter of a military family, was pure, quiet, gentle, and gracious. Because of her foolish love for Prince Ding, she forced her way into becoming his wife.

After six years of assisting her husband, she finally became the mother of the world: The Empress.

She had stayed with him during the fight for dominion over the empire and during the efforts to expand its territory. She even went so far as to put herself in danger and be taken hostage by a neighboring empire. In spite of this, when she returned to the Imperial Palace five years later, she no longer had a place in the Imperial Harem.

That beautiful woman he kept in his embrace gave her a bright, stunning smile and told her, “Older Sister, the country has settled down. It is time for you to step back as well.”

Her daughter died tragically and her son the Crown Prince was deposed. No one in her Shen family, who had been completely loyal to the Emperor, were spared. With arrival of a new reign, everything was overturned!

Shen Miao never thought that all of the perils they encountered as husband and wife, all of the assistance they gave each other mutually, were nothing but a joke in his eyes!

He told her, “Because you have been with this Emperor for more than two decades, this Emperor will allow you to keep an intact corpse. You should be grateful for this kindness.”

Beneath a meter of white silk, Shen Miao established a malicious oath: Once the day of reckoning arrives, every single one of you will die!

Once reborn, she returns to the year when she was only fourteen years old, a time when tragedy has not yet befallen, when her family still lived, and when she was still the pure, quiet, gentle, and gracious Di daughter of a military family.

Close relatives conceal evil intentions, her cousins are vicious and merciless, the new concubine is like tiger watching its prey and that scum wants the previous life’s events to be repeated?

Her family must be protected, the great enmity must be avenged, and the prize must include the empire’s imperial throne. In this lifetime, let us see who comes out on top!

But that Xie Family’s young marquis, that tyrannical and arrogant spear-wielding young man on horseback, stays stubbornly on her side and proudly declares, “It is merely toppling the Imperial Family. Do not forget, the world belongs to you, and you—you belong to me!”

The Thirteen Capitals of You Zhou: This belongs to you.

The Ding Yuan City in the North Desert: This belongs to you.

The Southern River of Yu Zhou, the Eastern Sea of Ding Xi, the Green Lakes of Lin’an, the Ancient City of Luo Yang: All of these belong to you.

“Xie Jing Xing, if all of this belongs to me, then can you tell me what you want?”

“Alright, I want you.”

This is hands down one of the BEST stories I've read, definitely recommended. I don't write reviews at all so for me to write you can just guess how much I liked it. Our MC is smart, level headed and so much more. She doesn't lose her composure often. Also the ML is also so different compared to the rest, he's definitely not very trusting. He and our MC have quite an antagonizing relationship at the beginning which is interesting to say the least. The villains, they are very realistic... more>> and we never run out of good antagonists so that keeps the story very interesting. However, if you are expecting romance then step back because it is very slow but it's sweet nonetheless, and watching it develop is all the more enjoyable.

All in all, read this novel, it's really good. <<less

Awesome story! with a kickass MC!! and supercool ML!!

The only drawback was the ending... felt pretty rushed. The story went downhill superfast at the end, especially after the ML left for war campaign...

Loved the way how the whole reborn-thing was revealed and explained!! It was very interesting how the awesomeness of the ML, and the awkwardness of the 'national teacher' in the previous life is tied to the new one...

This really was good, I wasn’t sure what to expect with it being a Chinese novel and all.. But the description sounded so interesting that I just went for it.

man I have to say I wasn’t let down in the slightest. This is a really great story, period, let alone a light novel or web novel.

you will definitely end up caring about the main and side characters, along the way.

My only complaint is that I feel like one or two of the arcs were dragged out a bit too long... more>> and so we didn’t get enough time with the characters at the end <<less

A novel that makes you read more in every chapters you consumed.

Character development and plot phasing is really good. The MC’s journey towards revenge and releasing her own hearts pain left an impression when reading.

The interaction between ML and MC is interesting too.

This story is brilliant. Woow... I'm just speechless. I think the author is a genius. Every single detail counts. The female lead is incredible, she's not just smart because she reincarnated, she's actually a genius. And everyone's ending is so freaking satisfying. I never thought " wow this one should've had suffered more, everyone got exactly what he deserves.

[Romance] don't expect some epic love story. They fall in love very late. I actually hated the ML because he was constantly using MC and her family at the beginning while she... more>> decided to avoid him, and even helped him cause she knew he was a good man from her first life. the romance is a bit disappointing cause he never really showed much love but at least he never looked or gived a damn about anyone else[Romance] <<less

Brilliant really one of those precious novels that you can re-read. I'm so sad it's done

... more>>
Spoiler

I've read people say the end was rushed but I feel differently, in her eyes he was cunning and clever but his ending was very mediocre in my opinion she saw him that way because she never truly understood him because his image was built up in her previous life from her love and hatred, he was made to be more then he was though I do still feel that his ending was anticlimactic but I guess it needed to be that way for sm. This is one of my favourite romance

i think this is a really great novel :") the characters are human and understandable, and the romance is the cherry on top. Its a tear jerker (for me, at least) but its a story that keeps you hooked (like the corners of xjx's smile when he sees sm/jj, read to find out) and I really enjoyed it!!

Simply beautiful and realistic. I mean as realistic as a rebirth story can be (cause we all know it's not really possible). Most Rebirth books are usually predictable but this book is definitely not. The FL is so witty and she learned through experience which is more realisitic.

I must say when the ML came in, I thought he'd be like the typical black-bellied ML and he is - but he is also so much more than that. He doesn't overshadow the FL and complements her and vice versa. I got over my intense dislike of him as I read on, I must say, I'm glad I held off from reading this and waited for the chapters so that I wouldn't binge read this all in one go due to the little number of chapters. It's a great... more>> story and even though I'm not the smartest but the protagonists were well done and aren't so easily defeated after one round but they do get defeated afterward yet it's satisfying to read because every time she knocks off all the people who backstabbed her, it makes this story that much more enjoyable. <<less

Its a good story. Worth it. Thought sometines the description of ML is too strange for man. Its like descripting beautiful woman. :D

But I like this story. Especially when love between the FL and ML not just suddenly happen and they become madly in love. The love is slowly but sure moving to that part. So it feels real.

The way FL has her revenge ia good too. One by one she cut her enemies head. Using other people knife. Cool.

The end is funny. How the MC mad at the ML... more>> in dream because he maybe flirt with other woman and the real ML confused and said thats just a dream. Not him. He will be faithfull only to her.

Thanks for the translator for translating. Just a little more and it will end. I cant wait for it. <<less

First off, I am super biased because I love revenge stories. Almost all my favorite novels have some sort of revenge theme in them. I can’t help it. And I can’t help but love this book as well. This has the sweetest revenge ever.

The heroine is such a ruthless, cruel badass. She gets a second chance at life, and wakes up at the time when she is 14 years old and the trouble is just about to begin. But because she’s already lived her past life, she is now a... more>> wise old woman deep inside, she knows what is going to happen next, who’s good and who’s bad, and this time her enemies are going down. I love her evil plots and machinations. She’s truly malicious, and she even gloats or cruelly smiles when her enemies are backed into a corner. I love how anyone who even dares to scheme against her, ends up with a backfire.

There is also a slow burn romance here. The leading man is perfect. Too perfect actually. Think of all the good traits an alphahole can possibly have and that’s the hero. But don’t worry though, this isn’t a typical love a first sight romance. It’s more of a mutual respect to allies to romance kind of slow development, which I really really enjoyed.

Translation quality by chubbycheeksthoughts is just so-so. I’ve read better translations and I’ve also read and enjoyed worse translations. There were a lot of grammatical mistakes all throughout. It didn’t prevent me from really enjoying the book and having it reach all-time favorite status though. So a big thank you to chubbycheeksthoughts for taking the time and effort into translating this masterpiece. <<less

Not as compact and laser sharp as Princess Wei Yang but it will do. Is it me or do the characters seem too cold and detached? The two leads don't even have gentler moments to speak about. They're like two bedfellows sharing a bed at different hours of the day. He goes to work at 6, comes home at 2 to sleep, while she's out somewhere working as a hooker or something.

Even the side story of the eldest sister being r*ped and the mother hearing her struggles in the next... more>> room yet doing nothing to help, seems detached and written more for plot purposes than elicit some reaction from the reader. A similar incident happened in The Royal's Cute Little Wife where a 14-year old girl tried to ruin the MC's reputation by leading her to a room sprayed with aphrodisiac. Instead, the second ML tricked the girl into entering the room then pulled a waiter in after her.

The subsequent reaction tells of the girl's shock and going home to her parents with her clothes untidy and her face distraught. The mother and father immediately knew what happened, and you can practically see their destroyed faces as they watched their ruined daughter go up the stairs crying.

This bit of episode is not even in the overall plot of The Royal's Cute Little Wife but it is haunting.

In Malicious, the r*pe is written like ya, she was r*ped so what's the next in her revenge arsenal? Even the mother's reaction was perfunctory, like see the trouble you've caused?

I like Wei Yang better. That one keeps you in tenter hooks. <<less

Well, I couldn't wait and read the raws. I have to say, this is one of the best and most satisfying reads for me. There are few loop holes but they won't effect your reading experience in any way. Shen miao's character is very lively, in the sense, its not above everyone in the story. She has her ups and downs, is deeply effected by past life and struggles with emotions in the present. My respect for her character just increased by 10x in the last 20 chapters and I wished to read more of her in the ending epilogues. XJX is my one true cold blooded favorite character, I had so much fun reading translators and editors notes while writing about XJX lmao. The author sure loves him. He is not an ass unlike other cold protagonists and have my respect. His coldness just comes from his superior intellect and ability to look beyond ones limit. I liked how he stayed true to SM no matter what and I adored his behavior with

his kids, when SM was in COMA. C'mon he was known as the best babysitter, despite being a new emperor, going against the entire palace in many ways for SM.

[collapse]

Every other character, be it be major, supporting and minor roles had life and I deeply resented few of them. However, I was very surprised to actually feel something

Nah, I cried buckets

Though the translations are bad, I would recommend everyone to definitely read this story.

Overall, I can say I've enjoyed the story so far, it's good for passing time thus the 4 stars.

Let's start off with the con first;
Although main antagonist and main character are balanced, male lead is ridiculously overpowered (I'm actually worried about author's mental state because the descriptions given for ML is over the top, to the point that it's ridiculous making one cringe in disgust, once would've been fine, but it's REPETITIVE!! Every time ML makes an entrance: *author sets sun rays, halo, glitter, glow, rainbow and flower background... more>> filters for ML to the max*)
ML has this stereotypical mystery hunk theme going on... and.... he likes to stalk FL. It started off as a coincidence but seems like ML has developed a fetish to peep on his crush.
He's like the equivalent of Edward Cullen from Twilight that likes to watch crush sleep and just sit in the dark WATCHING HER somebody please call the cops (NO seriously, consider it for a moment if he wasn't flawlessly handsome and talented, wouldn't that be creepy af?)
Honestly, if author could've just toned it down a little for ML it would've been perfect....
Pros:
Side characters are so fluffy!!!! (Ofc excluding all the cannon fodder) Everybody is quirky and adorable in their own ways and cares for each other or female lead, I honestly don't have a positive side character to dislike!
Although I've mentioned the cons with ML, the interactions between FL&ML is quite well matched. They're a sweet power couple and I can't wait for them to bump into each other and have a chat and whatnot.
They do say revenge is sweet and the way FL does it, it's hella satisfying, can be a bit stretched but overall well executed. FL has no cheats, she can't even rely on her past memories all too much since people can and will change depending with how she changed herself and the incidents around her over the time, so nothing is ever set in stone, she's got to tread in this very carefully. She definitely learnt her lesson from her previous life and smartened a lot up. So there we have the strong, independent female lead with a lot of hidden scars and trust issues ripe for the picking for ML.

And to sum it up, 2/3 is about revenge 1/3 about romance. Also, I'd like to explicitly give out a warning to all readers for a second time:

The descriptions for male lead can be nauseatingly excessive. No, it won't tone down.
Hang in there. <<less

Welp... A good read with a good plot.

A female lead given a second chance to redeem her past mistakes. Surely it wasn't easy, utilizing her knowledge of the future she seeks revenge to those who wronged her and bring retribution to those who wants to harm her family. As she gets entangled in both political and blood feud our FL does her best to retaliate, flawlessly.

Romance is slow but sweet. Intrigue, schemes and thick, thick resentment, it's here. Mind you, FL is angry, resentful and out for blood but not... more>> a shrew or unglamorous and that is one of the reason why I love her.

The only cringy part for me is the author's constant harping about the ML's glaring awesomeness that eats up a few lines. Like, we know he is handsome already!!! Dang it, didn't have to remind people every time he shows up. Urge.. once twice is alright but a few times was enough to make me grow hives. Hahaha <<less
