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.”

Very good novel.

Spoiler

I just wish the white tiger played a slightly bigger role than it did. It was gradually removed from the novel towards the end. It would have been nice to see the white tiger-all grown up-killing the remnants of the rebels that happen to make it into the palace.

This review is going to be hard to write, because I have so many emotions about this series, and that's saying a lot. Straight up, this is a masterpiece. The plot was so intricate and well thought out, but was revealed at a slow and steady pace that would sometimes shock me and keep me on the edge of my seat.

I never got the impression that the FL and ML were super OP and could overcome every single obstacle. I even had the impression that it might turn into a... more>> tragedy, but thank god it didn't. But that's how masterful the plot was written, that even me as a reader didn't know what would happen next.

And even though I really supported the main romance,
Spoiler

I also kind of rooted for Pei Lang in a weird way. It was just really tragic and moving that he sacrificed his life but I know they are not meant to be together.

[collapse]

If you're a fan of mystery, slow romance, satisfying (and sometimes brutal) revenge, with actually smart leads, THIS IS FOR YOU. This is the best rebirth novel I've ever written. Highly highly recommend!!! My one complaint would be that the grammar of the translation isn't the best and it was easier for me to read because I can translate it into Chinese to make sense of it, but for people who don't understand the Chinese language it might be a bit difficult to consume. <<less

Read the novel twice. Still can make one cry, giggle and feel happy. One of the best novel there is. No dragging of plots, no OP female and male MC. Both have weaknesses and can be injured sometimes. I love how each of them has their own unique qualities. The romance is quite slow but I don’t mind. It’s a love story worthy of a thousand years and beyond.

Loved it! The main couple and the side couples were so cute.

And the female lead was just amazing. She was resourceful and indeed malicious, but to those who deserved it. The way she schemes and brings the events into her favour is outstanding. Shen Miao is one of the best written female leads I have read so far. She does not hesitate to punish those who dare hurt her family and at the same time is also a wonderful and supporting sister, daughter and a friend.

One thing that I... more>> absolutely loved was the dynamic between Shen Miao, and the male lead, Xie Jing Xing.

Spoiler

The way their relationship progresses from doubts and suspicions to a happily married couple really moved me. And unlike her previous husband who only used her and looked down on her, XJX actually respected her and loved her truly. The scene at the end when he comes back from the war only to find Shen Miao in a coma was so heartbreaking but then the scenes after that where he tries to take care of their newly born twin kids as a single parent is really amusing, considering the fact that he had been crowned the emperor just then. And then when Shen Miao wakes up from her coma and laughs at him..... that scene was just so heart touching.

A great read all in all. I am waiting for the other books of this author to be translated so that I can read them too. <<less

Strong start, Super strong Middle, kinda weak ending.

It's starts out amazingly, with a clear background, motive and hitlist of people to get revenge on. The flashbacks to her past lives are unobtrusive and relevant to her grudge and the scheming is great.

Like most stories with a strong non-romance plot, once the main couple is consolidated it's just love love from then on.

Still, a hopeful GE and extras, complete with a couple unmentioned plot holes.

One of the best Rebirth-Revenge novels I have read so far.

What I like about this novel is that MC did not search for trouble in the name of revenge for things that had not happened yet. She was vicious and cunning, but only to people who harmed her people. She bid her time, prepare her chess piece, drew the string for her "dolls" and just watched the whole things.

Though there is an arc where she and ML had a cold war because of their pride, the catalyst to resolve it... more>> is very... lovely (?) In a way. I adore this novel a lot, and read it many times. But I always skip their fight arc since it broke my heart, lol.

Totally recommended! <<less

I tried to read this awhile back and for some reason stopped, I then picked the novel up again and all I can say is... wow. This story is extremely well written. I have zero clue why I dropped it the first time but upon a second reading I read through the whole story within 2 days. I couldn't put the book down.

The author did an amazing job of making the FL believable as a 30 something year old mother of two reborn into the body of her younger pre-teenage... more>> self. Most of these rebirth novels I don't really feel a sense of.."Oh yeah, this is definitely an experienced middle aged woman who went through some sh*t" but with this story you do.

But the icing on the cake is the romance was executed so perfectly, it's probably one of the best romances (PACING WISE) that I've come across in these rebirth/chinese novels. And here is why I think that, in most of these type of novels the FL showcases her intelligence or ruthlessness and somehow catches the interest of the ML but where these novels often annoy me is that these supposedly cold, indifferent and calculating males that NEVER pay attention to women and have experienced all kinds of females and various cunning women... these male leads almost always fall in love or show intent to love towards the female lead almost right away. This part of these stories always bugs me.

However in this novel, you can see the excellent story telling come through in the realistic nature of how a man that cold and indifferent and most of all black bellied could come to fall for someone who is like him. The first human response would be suspicion obviously. Which the male lead in this novel has towards the FL. Then that leads to him wanting to dig out anything that could mess up his plans, so he keeps an eye on her and learns to respect her as an ally against a common enemy. There is no insta-love but a gradual and natural build up of suspicion, respect, then value as an ally and then ultimately love.

The plots are great all around. Here (besides the silly female sisters) the villians don't suffer from a major IQ drop just because they bump into a lead. You get the sense that these people are all intelligent and ruthless in their own way. And you also get the sense that while the female lead is smarter this time around against her foes, it is because she knows what is going to happen and what her enemies are actually thinking. She didn't get an unreasonable IQ boost or the villians didnt get dumbed down just to make face slapping happen. This is another area where this novel shines.

Overall, this story is honestly a 4.6/5 the reason I lowered the rating a little is because towards the end some parts dragged and couldve been cut shorter.

like the whole story of the Ye families disabled son and all the tao priest stuff

[collapse]

the one thing I want to say though..

Spoiler

I felt so bad reading about the advisor from her past life that gave up his life for her to be reborn. I know what he did before was wrong. He sat back and kept his hands out of a situation he couldve made better. But I also understand why he did it. It just broke my heart seeing him suffer for two lifetimes, and love someone for two lifetimes and even give up his life and endure torture for someone who he will never end up with. He was probably the most complex character in the entire novel and I just want to wrap him in my arms and comfort him. His weakness was used against him (his long lost sister) and he was exploited and thought he was doing what was right for the better of an entire country. Such a sad... sad heartbreaking end. Also I feel bad for the emperor and empress of Great Liang. Jesus I had to grab some tissues for that one. This entire novel is a damn tragedy. But atleast the FL after a crap ton of suffering got a happy end.

[collapse]

If you skipped the spoiler just take it as this novel is one big fat tragedy brought about by greed. After all the horribleness, the FL and ML end up happily though so there is that. :) <<less

I really, really love this story. I've been binge reading it for days until the late hours of the night. The FL is vicious and rightfully so.

Although the author likes to repeat over and over how handsome the ML is, haha. But the pacing and progression of the story is just right. The point where I am reading, the romance is a very slow but simmering burn, which is nice that it's not the primary focus. Just nice.

The faceslaps to the people who deserve it, 1000% like. I bow to... more>> the FL. <<less

Very amazing and fantastic novel, it takes you to a complete different world where you will feel MC's emotions.

Awesome face slapping by MC, what makes it more satisfying is almost face slapping/ revenge is done by MC single handedly where ML only helps at critical times

Not many annoying characters compared to other novels

... more>> ML should have been better if he gets more emotionally involved with MC, but still he is very good to her

One of the best satisfying novels ever

Thank you translator (s) for the wonderful job

PS. Do not want the rating of this novel to go down for simple reasons by who don't even read completely... <<less

This was an amazing novel. It captured my attention from beginning to end with the scheming, romance, jealousy, and characters.

I love how the female lead is strong, smart, and reliant in herself, even until the end. Many of these novels, after pairing up with the strong male, the female just relies in their partner to do everything. However, in this novel, even though he does end up helping her out, she continues to make her own contributions and never gets complacent. That's how a good relationship should work - both... more>> people should bring something substantial to the table, not just their beauty and powerless sincerity.

There are some plot holes, but they didn't detract from the overall flow of the novel.

I guess the one main downside of this novel is how flowery the descriptions of the leads' beauty is. I might not have noticed, but the translators got visibly frustrated with it, which was hilarious, and I also started finding it a bit over the top towards the end. A description of beauty is nice for helping readers visualize the character, but it's not like we can see them no matter how flowery the description, and even if we could, what is the point of a beautiful lead? Can't ugly people be good as well? <<less

I loved this novel.

The characters are great. The male lead (XJX) actually has a personality (unlike some others I've read) because, for the front part, the two main characters mainly keep to themselves. On second reading it's actually better than I remembered, because you can clearly see the character development of both characters, how the indifferent ML and the FL who has always controlled her emotions learn to open up, be sincere and trust each other. The ML can be a little bit overbearing but they both understand each other... more>> really well and know how to comfort and support each other. The side characters like Shen Miao's family, although not explored in-depth, are definitely a pleasure to read about. I love Shen Miao's cunning and just her badassery in general. The plot is great. The plotting is intriguing, and although the end of the story was kind of a letdown, overall it was amazing. The romance, though it develops slowly, actually changes the characters involved which is really interesting. They're really compatible, they face problems together, and they care about each other a lot. And neither of them are overbearing towards each other. The side stories, like side romances are also really fascinating. Especially the story of Emperor Yong Le and Empress Xian De, that was legitimately heartbreaking but beautiful at the same time. Only problems I had with it were the ending and the descriptions of XJX's beauty get really overdramatic in the middle. For me, the main thing stopping this from being adapted into a drama is no matter who they cast as XJX, he won't live up to all of XJX's descriptions. <<less

Really good story, liked the pace a lot, it never felt like it was dragging. The romance was really well developed as well, The thing I specially liked about this novel is that the MC can actually do things on her own and does't have to rely on the ML for everything

My favorite novel from the old era ♥ Favorite besides being the first ones I read, each chapter was exciting, waiting for each update was worth it, our MC suffered so much until he finally got his revenge but more than that he found love. Our ML loved him from the beginning because he is so cool and sexy hehehe as he was always described xD His interactions were also beautiful, without exaggeration and also that they married so bacan and they gave a thousand kicks to all XD the... more>> narration, the characters, the plot make it a good novel, in addition to the spectacular translation they gave us ♥ <<less

THIS!! This novel is worty!

I love how the author make the character development. Shen Miao has a loving family. This is a fresh story after many reincarnation novel.

The author works well for not making this novel to thousands chapters.

... more>> Shen Miao and Xie Jing Xing has a great personality. What I love the most is their romance.

Xie Jing Xing (ML) didn't fall in love for the first sight with Shen Miao. The Romance has a development in it.

This novel is my favorite!

Happy Reading! If you search for the blac-bellied doting male lead, clever female protagonist, this is for you <<less
