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.”

I love this book and almost all the supporting characters. The romance is slow burn but ML is truly loyal to FL till the end.

But what I like most in this story is the reason for FL's rebirth was well-explained unlike most of the C-novels.

It's been a long time that I read such a great novel. I got hooked immediately.

The romance develops slowly which is great. The revenge is satisfying, not too cruel, just throw the enemy plan back.

The MC is smart but not genius & not super strong (nobody perfect = great!). The ML is typical arrogant male, but he respects the MC and never actually hurt her (great!).

Overall plot is tight with no filler. Highly recommended.

I honestly don't ever leave reviews but this novel is SUCH A GEM! You can tell the effort and time the translator had put into the novel. It is easy to read and carries a very smooth flow. This novel is definitely a 5/5 and the translation itself is also a 5/5. I find that this translator's translations carry such quality and the little excerpts with explanations to chinese words are super helpful and thoughtful. I would definitely recommend checking out her other works as well.

I don't know if... more>> this is considered as spoilers so be warned! These are just some opinions after rereading the novel twice as I wait for it to wrap and end.

The female lead, Shen Miao, is strong willed, full of plots and schemes, and not one to take things lying down. She fights for herself, for her family, and eventually for her own hard earned happiness. The male lead, Xie Jing Xing, is the most decent, and amazing man in this genre of novel. He cynical and calculative, however, when he does eventually get together with Shen Miao, he is always respectful of her and her boundaries. He is completely wrapped around her pinky finger and never pushes her limits or makes her uncomfortable; he simply patiently waits for the female lead to meet him halfway. Their relationship is the definition of a healthy, beautiful, and harmonious relationship goals and should be the model for other novels as well instead of a cold person who belittles and acts condescendingly towards a fl. The family relationship in this novel is GOALS (at least with her immediate family). The interaction between siblings and parents really make you smile and portray a different and rare type of familial love that is honestly not seen enough in this genre. This novel is well written as there is something in every chapter that adds towards the situation or the character growth -basically there's no "useless" or "spare" chapters as every chapter is important and entertaining. Conclusion: would I recommend? ABSOLUTELY! YOU WILL NOT REGRET THIS!

Spoiler

also: spoiler but not really... IT'S A HAPPY ENDING WITH A FAMILY REUNION!

the stories is good but its keep going down bit by bit. the MC got brain but use less of her brain later chapter bec of the male lead. The MC easily trust ML words even she know that words can lie from her previous life. In fact many revenge type novel will goes downfall bec of the MC fall in love. Love really make people goes s*upid. This especially true in this novel

I just wish that the MC less rely on ML for her revenge.

here a few thing I hate,
Spoiler

the MC are no worse than those people she hate in past life yet she think she a saint. And in current life, there a few people that do nothing, yet she put them as revenge target just cause or her past life where in fact she did many thing that change it from happening. The more chapter you read, the less the MC will able to control everything. All will become the ML control her action.

[collapse]

is average revenge with ok stories if I compare this to other revenge type novel. Only earlier chapter actually good.

I loved this novel so much that I have already read this three times. This is a masterpiece. Our female MC is so smart and Male MC is so strong and powerful. They are perfect match for each other. The way our Male MC support her, trust her and love her unconditionally is just amazing. He is my favorite male MC. I just love him. And I love their sizzling chemistry. LOVED IT!!!

This novel is my most favorite of all time. Not very cheesy or boring or unreasonable. The author made a lot of unforseen turn of events and it's so interesting.

Btw, can someone please help me find some stories like this one. I already read Chu Wang Fei, which is my second favorite. Please no cultivation stories. I got a full of them (which I haven't read one third of those) on my reading list.

A story featuring a smart female protagonist who learned from her past mistakes of falling in love and seeks vengeance and finds a slow gradual romance in this second life. The plot and pace are fantastic. There is some descriptive tidbits that don't bore, unlike other novels.

This is honestly the first novel I have willingly MTL'ed to the end, I usually only am willing to MTL to a certain point, but I read until the final chapter, not the extra chapters because if I do read them then I'll probably... more>> forget to read the translation, as the translation is enjoyable as well~

Spoiler

My favorite moment of this novel is probably the chapters leading up to the wedding. I thought if ended right at the wedding I would be completely satisfied, but there was more *p* lol

Quite okay, very slow romance and it's baiting you of how they could turn the situation around.

The ususal revenge theme, etc etc, but this time the lead isn't omnipotent, she got her skills from hardwork and time, but not too much that makes you say she's invincible.

It'll be more good to read to me if many those lovey dovey scene didn't got cut so fast.

Its really good ??

I love how the MC isnt this ridiculously op female

Instead shes just very meticulous and careful with her planning. There isnt that problem where side characters iq levels start dropping when facing the MC either. (There are a few idiots who have like 0 iq from the get go lol)

The ML tho. Like wow I really appreciate when the ML doesnt take 5 seconds to fall in love with the MC. We get to witness an actual romance in the making.

A good read. ?

This novel is excellent! It's a bit of a slow burn although. Translation gets kinda sloppy, but the story holds up! The names and the introduction gets heavy but as you go through the story is great. Shen Miao was an Empress in her previous life and someone who was known as a s*upid girl. In her reincarnated life she wants to make everyone pay for ruining her, and her children and boy does she!

Very good if you like the political schemes, revenge, and the intricate gossip/rumors among noble ladies.

The... more>> male MC is also excellent, and I would love to see more romance, there's a little there, but Miao has other things on her mind like revenge! <<less

well I am a romance novel reader. I hate harems and I hate shameless characters in the sense that every opposite gender they see they get h**ny af and think with their privates. Went in thinking this was a romance novel, its not. It has nothing to do with romance. The plot is also ridiculously slow. Seems like a good novel if you like super slow scheming and below average translation skills. She wants revenge so bad but 33 chapters in the book and she aint one step closer. She... more>> made no preparations so far. I'm giving it a 3 instead of a one because if I try to not look at it through biased eyes its a decent story. But I like romance and since they tricked me well f*ck you. I'm giving the author face for giving this a three <<less

This is definitely a good read! Even thought the rebirth tag is nothing new, the story flow is oozing with uniqueness. Nothing seems rush and the MC always do things at a right time.

Nothing romantic has happened yet, but with how the MC twist and turn the plot is really exciting and every time a finish reading a chapter, I'd cough up blood and force to wait for another update T-T

this is great! So far no romance and cheesy scenes between the MC and ML.. Just a few moments where they talked to understand each other intentions and thoughts.. (Political stuff)

i am excited for this! It is interesting to know how will the story turn out! I can't wait for her to purge the entire imperial family!

Spoiler

especially that ML apparently have imperial blood. His mother is the emperor's most favored daughter

Read this about 5 years ago, and am (maybe) back to reread because the years in between I actually remembered a lot of it-

between the rating and strong impact, that should say something about the writing and novel quality. At the time I finished it, I definitely liked it more than a lot of novels of this genre, especially for the political intrigue and more realistic characters. 4.0 because that's what I put on Goodreads and because I remember getting a little underwhelmed by the 3rd fourth of the... more>> novel. Will update review if I reread enough to write one.

ed 2/2: finally finished the reread! This was one of the best rebirth novels when it was first picked up, and IMO, I think it remains one of the bests. Reasons:

  1. MC is one of the few out there that acts like her setting (see Promethean's review for details)
  2. Even balance of politics, family, and romance (though it's slow and late because the two are hardly even friends for a long while, so don't read this expecting to see a novel out the romance genre), which means we really get to understand the settings that the MC is in
  3. No braindead fluff and filler just to throw random enemies for MC and ML to defeat- that isn't to say they have no enemies nor that there aren't a couple that (imo) seem to be made to make the MC look extra good- but there's virtually none compared to other similar works out there.
  4. ML isn't an a-hole.
  5. Author somehow manages to bring in a lot of realistic historical settings but avoids trampling too much on modern sensibilities. I don't think this is necessarily a pro or con, and I'm fine with historical settings like girls getting married younger etc (so long as it stays in that setting and the author doesn't mention age too much so I can pretend they're the older version for that time- playing a game of psuedo currency inflation but with age I guess), but it did mean less harsh comments. Not just with age- just used this as the easiest example
There were some bits I didn't like- some of the side characters seemed a little forced, a couple plot holes (or dropped plots that are just left), and the ending is a little quick- kind of like watching someone grow through a 40 ep drama, with 38 of the episodes going through everything, ep 39 as a couple new problems, and ep40 as the conclusion. The side stories help with the resolution a bit. <<less
