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.”

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 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.

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

The female lead is such a badass!! (9*^*) 9

Trying to harm her? Killthemall 斬草除根

I love the male lead, and the female lead’s family!! ? (Nope, not incluiding the other Shen family branch)

... more>> Her family is very supportive, and *phew* good thing, her dad ain’t like some of the dads in Chinese ancient novel, where they are *cough* s*upid *cough* ; and her dad got no concubines soooo #LOYALPEOPLEFTW

The male lead is so cool, and cute! It’s funny how the author always describes his stunning look, idk why I find it hilarious XD

Anyways, I really recommend giving this a try! ❤️ //It’s my number 1 favourite Chinese ancient novel <<less

One of the best that I've read!

I really love the way how author explain everything! I really love the ending and all those heartwarming parts (SX part when SM is going to get married, SMF and XJX, XJX with his sons, SM when defending XJX in front SMF, Emperor and Empress Great Liang and the side chapters especially the ten thousand possibilities).

Romance starts slow but it makes all worth it in the end, it is a happy ending with many twists of emotion in between.

It makes this one really appreciates... more>> all kinds of relationship (romance, friendship, friends, master-servant) in this story.

Thank you author for writing a very good story, characters, plot, vibes and feelings, all is very well-written. MUST READ! <<less

I love this novel so much ! Everything from the development of the characters to the development of the plot is pure perfection.I read a lot of novels on this site and rarely I find such a good novel with the theme of reincarnation !!!

The MC (Shen Miao) is so different from the others novels with the same theme, she is ruthless to her enemies but she never once did something to someone who was innocent and she always stayed in character.

The ML (who has way to many identities) is... more>> not really your usual ML. He is possessive of her and he gets jealous easily but he respects her and her decision and opinions.

This novel has everything you look for in a reincarnation novel. <<less

It is the best novel I have read! It has enchanted me

I especially love the male protagonist because he is not the classic possessive character, he lets me do what he wants without getting involved in his affairs unless he needs help and I love that because he really believes in it.

I really like how they relate to each other and the character of shen mio who is not the princess in distress who needs to be rescued

Love this novel !!! My top novel on my list.

I love the ML my empress Shen Miao. She knows how to get back at people who dare to mess with her. The MG is so cute and he knows how to get the ML. I was not disappointed with him at all. This... more>> book is always so exciting and always something new to expected on the next chapters. I want to thank the translator for all the time you take to translate this novel. I seriously love it and I'll be here till the end. <<less

Just found this from a blog.

The reason why Shen Miao was able to relive her life again! Read if you want :D

... more>>
Spoiler

In FL's past live.....

FL offered a bowl of water to a Taoist master on her way back from the Chin country back to Ming Xi country. The Taoist master advised her not to return to Ming Xi country but FL said she has to because of her children. In return for the bowl of water, the Taoist master gave her a strand of red thread.

After her return to Ming Xi country, one day after a function, she was drunk and met ML. ML was about to leave the country for a war and FL offered a farewell wine to ML for his safe return. She has also given the red thread to ML. ML promised to fulfill a wish of FL when he returns after the war.

Pei Lang could not forgave himself for playing a part in pushing FL to death. He went to seek advice from a Monk and the Monk said he can help FL to relive again but Pei Lang needs to sacrifice himself when the time comes.

ML attacked Ming Xi country and found out from his staff that FL's remains could not be found as the cold palace was burnt to ashes. After FXY and Lin Mei Ren (FXY's consort) were killed, the red thread disappeared. ML assumed that FL's wish was to see the end of Ming Xi country.

Lin Mei Ren burnt everything that was related to FL but there was still a part of her soul attached to the red thread that FL gave to ML hence she could not leave the world peacefully.

Hence the reason why FL was able to time travel back to the past to relive her life again.

I love this story, the one that qualifies low is because he did not bother to move forward. Some parts develop slowly but still interesting. Also, has many emotional moments, memories of the past life of the protagonist, but manages to overcome over time.

IMO, how smart the characters can be is heavily dependent on the the author/s is/are per se. So far what I can say about this work is that the author is very smart. For one wallowing into web novels after years of dwelling in John Grisham level works, it's obvious that a webnovel is almost like a practice area for authors. THIS novel, however, is certainly publishable work that it won't be surprising if it got taken down (Please don't,) because it got licensed for publishing (although the author sure... more>> deserves it, have mercy, don't take away my baby, LOL).

I love the MC, she's smart but reasonably ruthless. Though I understand some critiques pointing out how there are innocents, like nameless background characters (maids, etc.), who get dragged into the drama and turn into collateral damage, well, it certainly can be circumvented. That is if you want a totally flawless MC but personally find it reasonably unreasonable, think about it, after all the MC had been through I think it makes sense if she gets momentarily blinded by anger and hate that she doesn't give a damn about anything else but the closest to her... though I gotta admit the lives ending like they're no big deal in Chinese Novels take me aback especially at first... You can see however, at least as far as 147 that the MC is kind of regaining her...humanity? Though that might make her weaker....

If there is anything to say about the author its just that it seems she created the male lead based on her fantasy guy, then she starts using an entire paragraph to describe just how charming he is (or how in love she is with her own creation...[is author sama even a she?])... my Lord, I share the translator-sama's sentiments (added entertainmentXD).

Anyways, great novel.

Thank you so much to the author and the translator/s for bringing such a great work available to us readers, kudos! <<less

Quite long if you consider the parts. This novel is engaging as it goes, most parts are longwinded and draggy af. Also repetitive like most time traveling/transmigration novels about her being a dumbass due to rumors and yada yada. Ofc everyone just trusts rumors -w-... But the novel itself is quite interesting and the romance is slowly developing (the Male lead is a tease lol). I'm just getting annoyed with how the author keeps on describing how hot the guy is and female lead having a queen aura, isn't the... more>> most beautiful but blah blah dark pupils icy eyes. The schemes are nice and planned ahead of time. It really is draggy tho I'm starting to get bored..i just want more the revenge already :< <<less

I am half way through and really like the clever MC, the ML is interesting, but god is this a slowburn romance because even now, the couple is yet to make any real progress other than doing each other favors and showing loyalty. It’s a great story but I do like to see the main characters get together and fight against the world together, I don’t much care for when it takes the entire story for two people to end up together. I want to finish it because it is... more>> a good story, but the author really just wants to tell us how uncomparably gorgeous the ML is at all times while not giving us any real fluff. The fluffiest thing so far is that he named a pet after her and is sweet to the pet lol like why make me wait soooo long to see ML treating the MC fluffy. Go on, give her the ML who will give her the world and make her empress and stop being coy 😭 <<less

What a journey, this one took longer than I expected to read. However, it firmly grasped my attention throughout the whole story. I don’t think I was ever bogged down during an arc. I was expecting a lighthearted read, well... , that sure wasn’t the case. This novel is actually quite dark in aspects. It goes into detail on some severely dark topics (torture and r*pe) Although these moments are infrequent, they are there. That said, the darkness added an extra element into the novel that made it much more... more>> addictive! I enjoyed the romance and relationships developed between characters, although a bit slow, it was satisfying! My biggest issue with the novel would be the some rough grammar in the translation, but it is still readable and much better than most Translated Chinese Novels. To conclude, this novel is captivating. Hell, it made me cry on 2 separate occasions. Any story that can evoke emotion in me is a win. (Unless the emotion is disgust). I wish I could give this a 4.5, but I think 4 is good enough! <<less

One of my favorite revenge themed novels. The female protagonist is smart, scheming, and out for blood. A very satisfying read if you enjoy the revenge trope. Please read tags carefully, because this is a revenge novel so there are heavy themes and violence.

My only critique is that the romance was a bit lacking and the male lead was a bit boring. The focus of the novel was revenge though, so it didn't impact my enjoyment of the novel.
