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.”

One of the best novels I've ever read.

In her first life, MC wasn't raised by her parents (generals at the border) but by the rest of the ''family'' (her father stepmother and his half-brothers families). Hence, they raised her to be kind of s*upid and out of touch with social rules, always pushing her to make a fool of herself while profiting from her father's assets.

She was infatuated with a prince (not ML) and ended up marrying him. She sacrifice a lot to support him only to be backstabbeb in... more>> return.

What I loved about this novel :

- the well developed characters,

- the full circle effect (we actually learn why and how MC reincarnated, and the ins and outs of what actually happened in her first life)

- the schemes which were great and not over the top

- how MC and ML relationship slowly developed, their interactions, etc.

I totally recommend this novel. For me, it's one of the most solid and coherent novels of its kind from the start till the end.

I also recommend Marriage of the Di Daughter by the same author.

I felt pity for her love rival, her ending was really pitiful and disgusting (dismembered and used as a ''spit pot'') . Death would have been way sweater.

The ending was great though and ML raising their twins all by himself and defending her position while she was in a coma. Beautiful novel !

Must read novel!

MC is brilliant, ML is very cool (though author's obsessions with ML's brows...), plot is amazing (but our Empress's past life is terribly sad), secondary characters are interesting. It may be hard to read in the beginning because there are lots of Chinese terms, but after reading 10-15 chapters, you get used to them.

Overall, it is definitely one of the best novels on NU.

oh man I love this... The MC is a female who is avenging her past life. And she is vicious. and scary. and awesome. There are some eye rolling moments for the ML (haha the translator notes are quite funny too).

There is a part that I don't like. I don't quite like her tactics with her female cousins ... more>>
Spoiler

- yes in the past they were bad... but I think what they have done to her this life doesn't warrant what she has done to them.

[collapse]

Anyways I read 131 chapters in 2 days when I'm supposed to be studying. lol.

EDIT:

I finished this in a week or so. I really enjoyed the first half of the novel. It was intense. There were some things that I didn't agree with, like what she did to her first... vengeance victim, who in my opinion didn't do anything really bad to her in this life time yet - like it didn't warrant what she did to her. Anyways, I enjoyed her being ruthless to those that plot against her and her family.

In my opinion, it started to lose it's steam after ~ chapter 200, like she kinda mellowed out a bit... or maybe it wasn't as shocking.

My favourite character is her cousin Luo Tan. I wish there was a whole story (not just a side story chapter) dedicated to her.

I think the translating is alright. I think initially, it was translated without an editor, but it was mostly fixed partway and they went back and edited the old chapters - so the old reviews might reflect the original translations. There are some spelling errors, but it's not a lot (it's not MTL'ed). There is a lot of characters, but the translator made a list of characters in the TOC and someone even made a graphic of how everyone's related. <<less

This novel caused me to have higher expectations to other novels. I’ve just finished reading and I’ve looked into especially famous novels but I just couldn’t bear them. ‘Shen Miao is noblest of all female leads’, I can’t help but think like that. Well, she’s an Empress described to be the best and most upright when it comes to it so I shouldn’t think much about it. But this novel gave me too much ups an downs that I find other novels bad now. ‘^’ Well, I mean, I know that... more>> the first few chapters of every novel tend to be boring but it’s exactly that.

Anyway, this novel is definitely the best. I’m still torn between this as my first best or Perfect Secret Love when it comes to second chances/rebirth but then again, I’ll just make this my first in ancient times, and PSL in modern times. (Oh, they’re completely different novels.)

Well, anyway, I gotta say, the 1200 5-star review for this definitely deserves it. <<less

Amazing story! Its not long compared to some other rebirth/revenge novels but was able to give the right suspense and impactful results in a short amount of chapters. It's not quick face slaps. Each Revenge was satisfying thoughtout and you really cheered on Empress Jiao Jiao. The only revenge arc I thought was a little dragged out was the one with Third Household, mostly because I wanted more interaction with ML.

Really love MC & her ML, they aren't afraid to be bad people for the sake of the people they... more>> love. I wish there was a touch more romance since almost all the romantic interaction is more towards the end chapters but they are such a satisfying couple that the journey to becoming a couple was worth while. Every time her past life was mentioned, I was living for it. Jiao Jiao is so stubborn, determined and scary smart. Oh I loved her. When you find out what happened after her death, that was the moment I rushed over here and rated it a 5 star book. I like the rebirth/revenge plots but I was so curious of what happened in the past and this satisfied it. <<less

Loved it!

I liked how OP the MC is! She overcomes everything but not in a lazy type of way. She has a purpose and plans really hard for her goal. Super smart to the point that it’s unrealistic but in a really feels good way. Loved the concealment of her deeds, and the reveal by the ML.

I got real scared though when her rival came in!! Like I was pretty relaxed and all but then all hell came loose and sh*t went down fast. Fortunately it went well and the... more>> couple overcame everything.

The couple has awesome chemistry. They don't feel forced for the most part. They just complement each other well. The ML was OP, but not too much. I feel like his character is lacking in someway but not too the point that it disrupts anything. Except for the extra chapters in the end, when they were going on a trip. It felt out of character and a bit cringe-y but oh well. There are parts also that came out of nowhere like how they imitated the crown prince and killed the other crown prince. That part was unrealistic. But everything went well in the end.

The story is amazing, the trials are amazing, the way the FL solves things are amazing. My review is too messy I know but ugh I just can’t express it properly! Just read it!!! <<less

I am not really a big fan of romance genre, I just gave it a shot since the reviews are all good and little did I know this romance is what I am searching for. Sooo much love for SM and XJX. ♡ The plot is somewhat predictable but still have that grit that make you read it until the end. I didn't even skip a line absorbed every line on this novel.

Characters:♥♥♥♥♥

☆love love love the characters soo much personality and character development.

... more>> Plot: ♥♥♥♥

☆ As mentioned some parta are actually predictable buuuut it is still super entertaining how the author choose to unfold the issues and resolution to the problems. No confusion at all for me.

Translation:♥♥♥♥

☆ Super thankful for the translators to fully translate this novel. There are some grammatical error but still understandable, some typo error here and there but you can still perceive what it is. Xoxo translator-nim.

Thank youuu ♡ <<less

At first it seems like a very cliche CN but it is (in my opinion) the best among them. I've read many rebirth CNs and some feel like a waste of time as authors try to expand the plot to the point that it is not consistent. The plot in this CN seems so simple at first but then it gets deeper, one should have the patience to see how the story would flow.

Real couple goals tho. SM and XJX's relationship isn't as toxic as most main relationships in novels.... more>> Both of them had suspicions on each other so don't expect a 'love at first sight' crap here. There is an incident that would probably make some of you dislike the ML but his actions at the time are justified. Her problems aren't always solved just because XJX appeared (although it helped) and XJX would always ask if she needs help but he won't get in the way and meddle (sometimes giving a bit of a push to help). Their relationship has its ups and downs, SM has her secrets and XJX is a bit of a hot head, you could say that their downs helped their relationship progress.

Spoiler

SM picked worms and somehow became a farmer just to get a herb thinking that it would save XJX, she didn't care that it was too troublesome, would dirty her appearance, and didn't mind that it was an entire valley (? Not sure ?). XJX, actually knelt down and begged Shen Xin not to take SM away when she was in a deep sleep (coma). (Tho he also threatened him). Compared to the start, you could say that they have changed for the better.

[collapse]

I just wish that the author added more fluff scenes for the side couples

The translation isn't that great? Its good but it has some flaws. There are a lot of grammatically incorrect sentences and some mistakes in typing but you can still understand it, so its not a big deal. <<less

I really love Shen Miao's character and the pace at which the story developed. I also love the ML's character very much. I've been reading a lot of reincarnation–revenge novels but this is by far the best that I have read and really stuck with me.

With just 230-ish chapters, I didn't think this novel would take me weeks to finish (the chapters are long). I had the mentality that since it was so highly rated, it HAS to be good so I kept waiting and waiting. I really set myself up for failure due to the expectations I had for this novel. That's not to say that this novel isn't good. First and foremost, this is a revenge novel and the revenge is so satisfying. Prior to this, I read another revenge/rebirth novel but the... more>> author for that novel gave us some redeeming moments for some of the villains that in the end I felt a bit of angst towards the MC. But the author for this novel did a good job portraying the villains in such a way that I didn't fault the MC's revenge plans for them (or if they had a redeeming quality (Gentleman Pei), the debt paid back was acknowledged, in my eyes).

The romance played a secondary role. I could not get enough of the romance though. I wanted more! I wanted more interaction between our main leads throughout the novel. The side stories were really good too.

The Good: I really liked all the characters in this novel. MC was really cool throughout. However, when her biggest nemesis finally shows up, all rational thoughts went out the door and I felt she became reckless. I understand her reaction because she hated this nemesis so much but at the same time, I felt like, where's the cool and composed MC with the intelligence and scheming go? ML is typical overbearing. I actually really like him a lot.

The Bad: It did drag quite a bit for me. I felt like there were too many details that I didn't care about and too many repeats of things that had already been explained in detail before, especially about her past life. I did a lot of skimming. There were also some events that I just didn't think was necessary.

The translator did do a good job but it really needs to be re-edited. I didn't realize that the author wrote odes to ML's appearance so much but it got annoying when the translator add parenthesis within the content with their opinion about it every single time it comes up. <<less

Loved this story. One thing this author does well (and it's present in their other reincarnation stories) is that you can really feel that the character is reincarnated. The FL is a 30+ year old Empress who has lived a tough life, and you can tell in everything she does. She cannot live out her lost childhood and she has a hard time considering other teenage girls as friends. Her character is dark and does some questionable things, but she's had such a rough life before that you can't help... more>> but root for this empress.

One thing I loved is how the FL and ML's relationship developed. It was not love at first sight, but rather respect at first sight. They're not enemies but they're not allies right away either, and they both have the air that they'll leave each other be as long as they don't get in each others way. It creates an interesting dynamic, and I appreciate that as a power couple, they both contribute in different ways. He's offensive and she's the defensive. Overall, they compliment each other well.

It's not a flawless story, and if I could, I'd probably give it a 4.6 out of 5. The front-half is stronger than the back-half in my opinion, and there were some unnecessary subplots at the end, but oh well, don't let that stop you. The rest of the story was great. I've read the author's other two works after this, and I'm waiting for those to update. <<less

One of the best rebirth stories ever. The way the FL slowly punishes those that harmed her in a previous life is just fantastic. The ML is also fantastic and his story arc is really great. The ending is also good and I love that all the good characters have their happy ending. A must-read if you love rebirth-revenge story.

When I started reading this there was only a few chapters translated and the release rate was very slow and random. However the chapters and characters were one of the best I had read for ages. I had to read each chapter as it was released. In fact during one small hiatus I started reading the beginning chapters again. (Mainly to see more of the ML scenes and compare it to the current chapter.) I've read face-smacking and female strategist novels before but they have never really compared to this.... more>> To be honest this book is one of my favourites and got me started on my web novel addiction. (Many thanks to the authors, translators and editors). <<less

This has all the things I like in a story- smart characters with deep feelings; men and women with sincere and loyal hearts; bad guys that are so evil it is only right to see them tortured (and not just a little) ; and good guys who get a happily ever after, eventually.
