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'm just few chapters away from the beginning of the story and I can't believe how lucky am I to find such treasure. This is my first novel that I read about rebirth stuff and the way the revenge plot was delivered makes me sooo excited and I wish I can read faster so I can find out what will happen next! The character of Jiao Jiao is sooo savage. She's ruthless but you can't help but root for her. There is romance as part of the story but it's... more>> not too over the top, it's just perfect for this kind of plot. A few times I swoon on how doting the ML was haha

The plot was almost perfect except for some little details like what is the ML looking for, that's the start on why the characters start crossing paths but the details were never mentioned.

I had a high reading probably 3/4 of the story- until Jiao Jiao traveled after getting married because after that it seems the unfolding of other stories were a bit rushed. Like I'm sooo looking forward on meeting her nemesis but compared on how she delivered her revenge on her other family members it seems bland, she suffered a big disaster but there is something missing on how it was served. But overall, this is a novel that I had to read again right after I finished it which I reread after a year and still one of my favorites:) <<less

I've read so many novels bad and the good ones. Once I've read a good novel I always have a habit of re- reading it as there are some parts that One can't easily understand or re -reading it while looking for a new novel to read but this novel is an exception. I've read this many many times already that I lost count but the thrill and excitement is never gone. Even though I already memorized the next part or knew what would happen next it still feels like... more>> I'm reading this novel for the very first time. That is how good this novel is. I don't usually give a review or comments on the novels I've read but like I said this one is an exception. <<less

Rereading it once again.

I was blown away by the first half.

Second half is a bit too ott, but I might read it this time.

... more>> This was my first rebirth novel. And I could identify with the FL and her paternal family so much!

I used to feel that I seem to have missed out on the handbook of how society works. This helped me see some of these games I'd never understood before.

So grateful to have come across this novel!

I feel like knocking off a few stars bcos I don't like how absolutely ott the ML is (didn't really like his brother either). And I felt too bad for
Spoiler

the accountant/teacher who actually caused her rebirth because he felt guilty for loving her, and over compensating to the point that he got her and her kids killed

[collapse]

But... having read tons of Chinese novels now, this is still one of the absolute bests. <<less

Interesting novel.

I really liked how SM handled everything. She seemed to not really care about position but at some points she did care and did her job well in which I really liked.

If you want an "all fluff and hugs and kisses" romance this is not it. This is a slow romance novel in which isn't like those "omgfellinloveinfirstsight" novels you see all around the internet these days.

I liked the twists and schemes happening in this novel; (though tbh even though SQ did deserve her fate, still it was horrible)... more>>

At some parts I did skip some things, like for example around the end all the parts with Mei Furen I just didn't read. Maybe it was just me but around the end things felt a bit, not like the start.

OH RIGHT I WAS ABOUT TO FORGET!!! Around the first half exept as many unimaginable words possible describing the ML as possible🤣🤣 on that part I honestly mostly laughed at both the translator and Editor's reactions 🤣🤣🤣

The comedy overall was pretty good considering the way this novel was written. XJX was just the best at making us laugh and LT and GY were honestly the best couple after XJX and SM.

Spoiler

But speaking about couples, my heart ached for the Emperor and Empress of Great Liang... did their story really have to be ended like that?

Ah... I speak like this and yet have written a story with the same situation, the two lovers not having a good ending...

[collapse]

On and all I liked this novel a lot. Side characters had actual personalities and the story of the main characters wasn't really effected by them (as in we didn't for example have more then half of the story just about side characters and villains but rather actual interactions between main characters) <<less

Really enjoyed reading this. All the characters had depth and all the schemes were wonderfully illustrated. I felt like the ending could have been better but that's my personal opinion.

This novel is simply fantastic.

... more>>
Spoiler

The MC is the daughter of a military family and her aunts/uncles raised her as a spoiled brat because her grandma didn't like her father's mother, who was the legitimate wife before she died. She was schemed by this rotten family and her parents and brother couldn't do anything because they were always protecting the border, so she had no one to back her up and ended up running to the prince for aid, but the prince was a snake and used her and she died.

[collapse]

The bad parts is how the author keeps praising the ml's beauty like he some kind of painting with cringe worthy words, but it's bearable. Ah, there's also the political fights that were hard to understand and how it makes the novel feel like a drag on, but that's also one of the exciting points of this novel—it has serious, exciting political fights.

Now, here comes the good part. The MC doesn't start doing things abruptly or out of the blue, she's a true schemer and does things slowly, even her counterattacks were made with precision. She didn't need to rely on the ML and was able to have her revenge through her own strength. Then, after revenge, there's still some suspense but overall a happy ending. I don't really know what else to write so you can understand just how much I liked this book, there's a strong fMC, revenge, an arrogant ml, a sweet family and god blood. <<less

I think this story is fantastic. I just love everything about this story, except for the author's long winded descriptions of how XJX looks majestic lol like, yeah, we get it, he's good looking. The character, plot, setting, plot twist, I just can't pick a fault.

Shen Miao lives up to the title of being malicious. Love her for her cruelty and cunning mind. Sometimes she seemed too cold but can't blame her after knowing what she's been through in her past life. Anyway, her coldness doesn't really overshadow herself... more>> because she's still compassionate to her loved ones and gives her best to protect them and I've never read some scene about her being impulsive or unreasonable, she was a true empress.

Love the ML and FL's tandem so much. The romance between XJX and SM is satisfying. Love how JXJ and SM are both malicious and ruthless. Absolutely love the face slapping and the revenge Shen Miao did HAHA, it was satisfying.

I find XJX, besides being powerful, he's charming and funny. I also love his lawless character trait and especially his cruelty. He's overbearing but not to the point of obnoxiousness, he's still in line with his principles and not unreasonable or manipulative. Really appreciate him loving Shen Miao,
Spoiler

especially when he killed FXY in the name of SM in Shen Miao's past life.

[collapse]
Whenever he's with SM, he would be cheesy and funny. The best ML of all MLs, no one can refute.

I'm in love with those two. It was a week ago when I finished this novel and I can't seem to move on. I keep on rereading some chapters to relive the wonderful memories and feelings I had when reading this story. I'm just in love.

Would recommend this story a 100%

ps. still need more of that ending tho... or side story <<less

I finished this novel 6 month ago and since I was too lazy to make an account I haven't made an review on this yet, but now I have and its finally time for me to rant about this novel!

One of the best Chinese novels I will ever read! This will forever be in my top 3. What makes this novels so good for me is on top of the AMAZING plot, the AMAZING MC, And the AMAZING translation, Is the romance between the MC and the ML, what I... more>> like about the Romance in this particular novel is unlike the whole "I have love you from first sight, I am going to court you..." or the typical "Interesting...." and proceeds to court her and have a intimate relationship with the MC (which most of these romance I am not shading it's just theirs is a breathe of fresh air and Its my type). The MC SM's and the ML XJX's (I love this man and I can see the author DEFFINANTLY loves him to XD) relationship is a slowwwwww burn where they have no feelings at the start, but they start off as.... How to explain this... They are wary of each other, but later they turn into allies, and there's tension, teasing and BICKERING which is sooo UGH XD. And when they realize there feelings is AHHHH. (It takes a lot of chapters but its worth it and there interactions are GOLD. My only wish is to find a romance as good as this (I need somebody to recommend me something like this! oh but if somebody stumbles upon this The rise of Xueyue is an original work on webnovel app which is amazing too and the romance is as good as this, but beware in this novel the author tricks u into thinking the first guy that's introduce who courts the MC is the ML but he is not the actual ML is TEN times better than that rapist arsehole who fooled me, the real ML is similar to XJX and he teases and bickers with the MC its cute).

Anyways like I said the MC is one of my favourite Mcs, she's usually calm (except for some moments which is due to a certain someone) super intelligent, and is a true strategist and is really scheming, deep down she is kind and is not a mary sue, thanks to her past life she has some talants but she isnt op. Love her

The ML is amazing ahh and I was quite surprise with his secret, He might be my favourite ML I think currently, I could honestly rant on but u should see for yourself why I like him.

The plot, schemes, antagonist are all top tier overall making this a beautiful novel worthy of the hype.

The only bad bit is:

Spoiler

The ending wasn't as great as for me due to the MC and ML having some fights and cold wars I don't remember why but it was just emotionally draining and I know its important to be realistic and show that a marriage isn't always going to be rainbows and sunshine and there will be disagreements but I couldn't handle my fav couple being mad at each other and I quit the novel for some time but powered thru

ONE OF THE BEST NOVEL EVER

Pei Lang line about the MC was kinda sad

“She had not experience anything good. The things that others could gain easily, she had to work very hard to obtain it. Even her tiny wishes were harder than others. Now that the hardships are over, before she could taste the nector, she fell into a deep sleep. The Heavens is really unfair to her. However it is because so she had never asked for anything, making one feel respectful and pitiful.”

Ok, this is my first review at novelupdates ><

So I decide to write a review for this book first (struggle to choose between this and Chongfei Manual).

I love this so much. My first ancient with transmigrated and hooked me into reading Chinese books. Trust me I read a lot of transmigrating book but this is the one that I can reread it all over again.

Female protagonist is smart but not OP to the point you can get irritate by it (its happen a lot when you read OP character). The... more>> conflict also rich and you develop really well. ML ahh the best ML and his character fit with our shen miao. Also their encounter in previous life is bittersweet.

After all I recomended it so muchh yall!! <<less

Such a wonderful story. My favorite male lead ever.

The political and familial plot is really well written.

Thanks a lot to the translator, I'll add just a little note, there's a difference between the chapters that were edited and those which weren't. For such a good novel it would have been a huge gift to have all the chapters edited to have an easiest read, but I'm thankful for the work put by the translator. :)

Honestly speaking, this book is well-balance, a master piece. Well-balance? The revenge and hatred is realistic. The romance is not sappy, romance at 50% is like flower blooming in spring. Not boring, definitely not redundant and it's a character well-built. Putting in oneself at the shoe of the character can really understand the depth of the story. Definitely read more than once.

this is a novel that focuses on political intrigue. It is so elaborate and realistic! This review cannot do this masterpiece justice. My only regret is that I probably cannot find a webnovel as good as this one. Also, I love how the romance isn't forced at all. It is def a slow-burn which fits the MC/ML's personality! The MC wants revenge and the ML is focusing on his own schemes. No time for cliche childish romance XD

I really liked the story! I binged and completed it within 2 days, it was that good!

The author really did a good job establishing all the characters and giving them depth in the story. Although there were some other characters I really wanted the FL to interact with more as I felt that he was only mentioned in the start and then threw away after he served his purpose (that lil dumpling kid), I think it was executed fairly well overall.

The story was also really interesting throughout, especially nearing the... more>> end. However, as a lot of people has realised and voiced out in other reviews, the last few chapters were really rushed and were more of a third person narrative rather than the first person narration the majority of the novel had. There were some parts and information that were blurry as the author just skimmed through the details.

But in conclusion, I really liked reading it. The ML was really crafty and cold, which I admit I'm biased towards lol but aren't really other people's cup of tea so just keep this in mind before reading. The story ended pretty hurriedly so we didn't really get to know much after the war ended.
Spoiler

And we never knew what happened between the ML and his ex-friend from the kingdom & the Princess that helped the FL a few times (sorry I forgot their names, I'm bad at names). Are they friends again?

[collapse]

But if you're picking up a book and would like something with the tags reincarnation, romance, revenge, and royalty, then this is for you! Would highly recommend! ^^ <<less

The novel is very well written. 4.5 rating from me

I absolutely loved the novel and would give it 5 stars if not for the small thing that did not suit my taste.

The novel was perfect for me until the marriage of XJX and Shen Miao. I do not know why but I just didn't enjoy the novel after that point. Maybe it is because I enjoy novels having only a bit of romance in the thriller/mystery/revenge genre.

I do not have any other qualms on the novel except this point.

after putting this novel for so long I finally managed to read and finish it. I never really liked reading ancient novels especially with so many scheming. Too much angst and dog-blood, but it was very intriguing. Both FL and ML are vicious characters. FL can be considered as a strong female lead and when she grasped a golden thigh which is ML it made her more formidable. At first, I thought it was just another brainless, mary sue novel but no, this was really a very interesting read. Romance... more>> is very slow but I can't help but anticipated everytime the leads meet and conspire together against their enemies.

thank you for translating this! <<less

I cannot depict how much I loved this novel, the chapters were consistent in building up the initial tension, making my brain churn about what was next to come in every single chapter! The words used, oh my lord, every single one of them seemed to drum through my heart, making it beat steadfastly with every single sentence.

The FL's and the ML's every interaction was so traumatizing in the initial phase but in the later chapters, it became something I clearly looked forward to, so much that I actually just... more>> skipped the scheming parts.

I loved how scheming the FL was, she wasn't the usual OP female leads who before they even raise their pinky finger, the world just ends on its own because of the fear of her, she didn't possess any sort of groundbreaking abilities and was simply what she was, a broken empress. And that was what made her so lovable for me. She schemed against those who troubled her first, she didn't also wait for them to deliberately poke her just so she can conveniently kill them off, and the revenge and the face slapping was well deserved.

But one thing that confused me was how did suddenly the ML caught feelings for her? Like in the beginning, besides the constant show-downs between the two of them, they simply regarded themselves as accomplices but then out of nowhere the ML pops up and becomes enchanted with the FL.

Though the ML and the author's constant thirsting over him was what eventually wore me down, like almost whenever he shows up he sort of like carries his own personal complement dictionary, and like literally the author just can't seem to write the ML without, first, complimenting him with "the youth smiled enchantingly, his charming face was so handsome that the world itself crumbled under his beautiful temperament and handsomeness", like what? That's the only thing that constantly irked me over and over and it became even more difficult to skim pass when even the translator began pointing it out lol. Though a great book but if you are here looking for simply the romance content just like I did, you won't get the romance share but will definitely love the face-slapping and the revenge the FL gives to her enemies. <<less

The story was sooo long, idk but it was refreshing as it has many plots etc but interesting.

If you like this kind of type rebirth novel with God of fate in every part of it then this is yours

Also if you like black bellied ML and strong FL this is also yours. Scheming, palace things, power rebel... all those things are in this novel.
