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.”

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.

i usually don't give out review or anything that concerned my opinion since the only things that matter is how much satisfied I felt when reading something. But this novel gave me some kind of new feeling when reading this. The story didn't felt like it was rushed and is nice to read on each of its chapters and their own arc. At first I was actually skeptical about reading this since a lot of rebirth stories tend to makes their mc's feel too overpowered that it's kind of easy... more>> for the MC to cross whatever path is in their way that makes me feels rather bored reading it and ended up leaving the novel or the schemes that the mc's made for the people that wronged them but ended up feeling cringed when reading it due to the lack of creativity the author puts on the schemes that the mc's was going to give to the scroundels. But I was extremely surprised when I read this. The MC, Shen Miao is not unreasonable when dealing with the people that had wronged her in her previous life and I was genuinely pleased and dumbfounded by the schemes that she made up to turn the Shen's household down little by little. Every one of the arc is written beautifully and neatly that I can't help but always wanting to keep on reading it.

Not to mention I really like the MC of the novel. She's a really cunning fox that could even make someone felt flabbergasted by her numerous schemes. She doesn't rely on the ML too heavily and tend to take her own matter into her hands and ending it beautifully. The author makes the MC written by as beautiful but not like her beauty could shatter the ground into pieces just by her looks only. But her bearings that she showed that attracts people in makes me want to kowtow to the MC too

lmao.

The ML, Xie Jing Xing, isn't your typical ML that fall in love with our MC on first sight or first interaction. The love progress slowly as they aged and slowly bloomed between them. I really like the dynamic of their relationships that turned from stranger, enemy, frenemy, beneficial, friends, and now as love interest!

Each of the chapters always brings me on edge everytime I finished one of the chapters and the usual cliffhanger want's me to really hangs myself from the suspense. But all of it were worth it in the end everytime I finished each of the chapters.

Eeeee.... this more seems like a rant rather than a review but whatever. I heavily recommend you to read this amazing novel! <<less

I love this story. It's a rebirth story where FL was tricked by her relatives and is reborn to a time when she was still young, so she decides to change her fate. This is by no means an original concept but among all revenge based rebirth novels I've read, this is my favorite. This is a mary sue novel, so the FL always succeeds but nevertheless it's still very intense. I like that the Fl's main motive for revenge is more for her family rather than herself, since she... more>> was essentially the reason why her family died in her past life

I really like the FL. In rebirth novels, the FL's just magically become extremely cunning and intelligent after rebirth which sometimes feels unrealistic. In this novel, the Fl's intelligence makes sense, she used to be an unfavoured queen, who had to endure years of hardships to reach the point where she is. Her only mistake was that she trusted the wrong people.

This is also the 1st rebirth novel where I cried reading about the Fl's past life. You can feel the sorrow and regrets the FL has regarding her past life which is never really elaborated in other novels. I cry everytime the FL thinks about her children and how she'll never meet them again and how much she regrets that she couldnt give them a better life. She doesn't even want revenge for herself, she just wants to bring down her relatives for ruining her family and her husband for killing her children.

The ML is the typical OP ML. I like that for a long part of the story, you're kinda confused with how the ML feels towards the FL. Like you can tell he's interested but at the same time, he doesnt let her interfere with his business. I like that the FL remains as a strong character even with the Ml's help. Like throughout the story, there are very few instances where the ML directly helps the FL, mostly it's pretty indirect and The FL does most of the work herself. Which I find to be very refreshing coz sometimes the ML end up doing all the work towards the end of most revenge novels.

The only part I dislike is the ending, I felt that the author could have just ended it directly instead of adding an extra twist. I get that they're trying to portray that they'll always fall for eachother in every timeline but I found it unnecessary.

Another thing I dislike is the villains, they are all just typical cannon fodder who dont know when to give up. I think only her husband from the previous can be considered as a decent villain. But the way he was dealt with was kinda glossed over which was disappointing. The only good point is that it's very satisfying to see the canon folders getting defeated.

Spoiler

The FL is pretty ruthless too. I'm pretty sure every single villain ends up dead. The FL is not evil or vicious by any means, since most of the villains were responsible for the death of her family hence it deserving of them to die in this lifetime.

Tw: ass*ult

Spoiler

There are scenes of ass*ult in this story (not towards the main character) , so if that's triggering for you then you might wanna skip out. Just a heads up, when prince yu is introduced, around that point is when the ass*ult will happen. It's pretty graphic too.

a well deserved high rating rebirth story. The plot is definitely well thought out and I was on edge in the middle of every arc. The only thing that i’m not a fan of is that some of have super lengthy narratives. I just skipped most of them tbh. Other than that, this story is def a gem worth checking out!

Gods, I really love this series. I've reread it so many times! There's no love at first sight; it's a good, gradual build-up from two two-faced snakes (awesome). There's closure with the past life for the readers and the characters. I love that both ML and FL are pretty emotionally constipated (for their own reasons) and stubborn, but know when enough is enough and when to bend and communicate. I love that there's an explanation for the rebirth. I love that it's a rebirth that has its own tolls (not... more>> like hardships, but like, a toll it took on her actual soul). It's just SO. FEAKIN. GOOD.

I'll reread this countless more times~♡ <<less

What a ride!

I'm not a fan of rebirth trope but I'm glad I gave this a try. Not for fluff readers.

I believe our ML deserves a Doting Love Interest tag. I demand it!

I am not sure if I could be able to fully review the beauty and complexity of this novel.

This is my favorite chinese novel of all times. I have reread this for so many times that I actually want to forget everything all over again so I could read it once more without knowing what would happen.

Shen Miao is our female lead. She is given the chance to redo her life and to avenge herself and the people she cared the most in her previous life. She is a very... more>> vicious and complex character and I love her for this. She is a very determined person. She will fulfill her goals in any way possible, even death cannot stop her because she is not even afraid of it. Her previous life is the epitome of "loving too much can destroy you". All she did in her previous life was loving someone, but in return she was utterly destroyed. Now, she is out to destroy everything and she will do it.

Xie Jing Xing is our male lead. He is the most devious and scheming person of all. He does not hesitate in his actions. He is portrayed as this cold person who seems to not care about anything or anyone at all. But, no human is truly devoid of emotions. Xie Jing Xing is ruthless yet he cares. He cares about people even though he pretends not to be. He loves Shen Miao unconditionally. He trusts her fully. And he will do everything for her.

Our main leads are what you call the "perfect fit". And I love how the author seamlessly incorporated their romance. I love them both so much. I am glad that they have found each other.

The characters are all complex and there are lots of scheming going around. But, I really enjoyed the journey all through out. At first, I was even reluctant to finish it because I didn't want to let go of the characters. I have never been fond of long novels, but I didn't even notice that this was long because I was so hooked up with the story. This novel has been my standard for rebirths that I even found others of the same genre mediocre. I'm even reading this author's other rebirth novels as a result.

If you love rebirth stories, then this would be a good read for you too. <<less

If you love badass women main characters. Then this is a story worthy of your time to read. Once you do, it wont be easy to move on form it. It will make other similar story to be less interesting than this one. The main characters is far from being innocent young girl or gentle women. But she is kind towards those who deserves her kindness. But vicious and merciless to those who want to harm her or her family. Overall I love the plot and surely it's up to... more>> expectations and my liking. The translation tho, still need to be improved because some of the character or places name was changed probably due to typo but if u can think of the storyline relate to it.., it was good. Happy reading. I was hopping this story can be made into drama and hope it will be good one. <<less

As there is already lots of reveiw here I'll keep it short. Both MC and ML are smart and sly people who don't hesitate or fear to reach out what they want or eliminate whoever is a threat to them. Very decisive and scheming couple. MC due to her Rebirth already learned alot from her past mistakes and made the evil people pay their dues with good schemes👍🏻👍🏻.

The story is well written, kudos to author. Apart for some spell errors here and there (it's mostly typo error like wrong letter... more>> key was pressed) the translators have done good job. Thank you for picking this up and sharing with us all.🤗 Definitely recommend, there is no boring part here. Please go it.. <<less

Well written story and a black-bellied male lead done right! One of the best of the female 2nd life romance genre.

The standard concept of going back in time for a 2nd chance with grievances and resentment that need to be avenged in the 2nd life. The way the author described and wrote the first life's sufferings of the FL and her family really made my heartache. So when the revenge was served, it was incredibly satisfying.

The ML and the FL were a very good match. Both of the main leads... more>> steal the show when they step into a room; not in any bad way. The side couples were also very satisfying, these were mostly written in the extra chapters.

The author is very artistic and enjoys describing and setting the scene, especially describing how beautiful the ML is.

The author hit a lot of points for me that deem it as a solid five-star story. Character development for side and main characters, lots of troupes and concepts clashing together, the plot points of the story connecting very well with other (or multiple) other points in the story, solid and meaningful death that moves the story, well-written writing that pulls emotions and of course, the poetic love that transcends a lifetime.

The author knows the formula to make a good story, she has learned a lot from her first 2 novels and make this well-deserved five-star story. Her fourth novel, The rebirth of a Star General also hits all these points. Star General is different from Malicious Empress, as the author switched from writing face slapping schemes of ancient black-bellied ML x OP vengeful beauty FL, to righteous FL general x stoic ML general getting revenge together.

Although, I thought that the last conflict in the story to test the MC was hella unneeded....

It's a great reading. I must confess that I struggled to finish it, sometimes it was a little tedious, like the flashbacks from her past that were repetitive, and there were times that she really annoyed me (mostly because I really wanted to see their romance bloomed). I did have to stop and have a break from it because the plot was too intense and heavy, many times I wanted to quit but I kept going because I seriously love the Little Marques and his overbearing attitude. I laugh a... more>> lot everytime I read the translator's comments about the author's exaggerated descriptions of XJX beauty, and I cried my eyes out for the emperor and empress... There are very few Chinese novels in which the FL family is nice, so this is the best part of the story (looove Shen Qiu😍). <<less

The translator, maaaann!! The translation is amazing! Zazajunnie & her editors are awesome! Her translation makes everything so so much better.

I love the FL. ML is too OP but still love him too.

Recommended to read other works before this one, otherwise would end up comparing (lately all I can think of is 'yoo, SM & XJX would've crushed this kind of scheme in no time' or 'ew this is rubbish compared to SM & XJX)
