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 initially dropped this months ago because it felt boring and dragging but I gave it another shot and got hooked.

I continued reading this at engnovel. Com and I was satisfied with the translation. It was not perfect and takes a lot of time to get used to the unfamiliar terms and phrases. I think this is common for historical CN novels. There's a lot of phrases and roundabout conversations and it's hard to understand if you don't pay attention to it. However, I do feel like some of the... more>> details or description about one's temperament, clothes, etc were recycled but since I'm not too picky then it's fine.

About romance, it's very slow. Honestly, slow. Frustratingly slow. There was a moment where I even thought that it's not happening but thankfully it happened! But I love how they both scheme about their own business. I like their relationship and the development but it's just painfully slow for me. I enjoyed their bickering although it kind of happened on the later half. XJX is such a tease!!!

I enjoyed both of their schemes during the Ming Qi arc but find the Great Liang arc not so. GL happenings is not really much in my opinion. It's toned down but the romance is flourishing so it's still enjoyable. I also find the issue with Mei Furen rushed. I kind of expected it to drag more since she despise the btch so much but it went like 'okay'.

Don't even get me started about the ending : (it was sweet but I want to read more about their family moments. Moments with their children and stuff.

I was also hoping for ss regarding the side couples. I was even shipping Cong Yang and Jhing Zhe and obviously Lou Tan and Gao Yang.

Overall, I'm satisfied. A good read. It gets good and more comedy is added on the later part. <<less

It's not perfect, but I love it. The scheming, the interactions between the ML and FL, and the memories of the two kids who can never exist again. That last part is what sticks this story into my heart/mind the most.

I also love how much FL's family loves her. So that one scene where she deeply regrets the past and cries for her mother is also very memorable. A lot of nice scenes hidden in this story.

Intricate plots and a good female protagonist. The male protagonist is a little bit too perfect but I really liked the scheming.

Definitely one of the best novels I have read.
It's a very well written read and I enjoyed every moment of the plot.
I do not usually like novels with a strong political theme, but this is a marvel that cannot be missed. Both the MC and ML are amazing. With personality and character that is not found in any novel.
It must be emphasized that this author has a lot of common sense and does not write garbage that floods the world of reading that seems to be writing it to preschool girls.
I like the slow romance, the plot and above all, the story of the novel. He definitely deserves the highest score.

Truly a good read.

What I do hate though when it comes to this kind of genre is the dog blood you read in the first parts or just the overall villains in the stories.

They are so shameless. They are the ones who scheme against you and when they get implicated, they cry injustice! Truly shameless! It makes my head ache and figuratively cough off blood.

But what I do like is how the protagonist face slaps. So even if I had to endure with all the shamelessness of those villains, at... more>> least I get gratification when the main characters finally bring them down.

And this novel definitely made me happy. It definitely made me want to vomit off blood with how annoying and brainless and shameless (I know I keep on saying this but dudeee it fits them so perfectly). Anyway, I was very satisfied with how SM and XJX, brought them down until the roots were gone. All you really have to do is be patient. You may feel angry at first and frustrated but wait until you read further and their destruction comes, you will feel happy.

For the romance, it was slow building. Just the right amount of pace in this type of genre and amount of chapters. At the start, I wasn't really that enthusiastic with XJX especially since he was slightly brutal and very suspicious with SM. But wait until he truly falls for her and she truly falls for him and you will definitely feel like they are feeding you dog food with how overly sweet and cute they are.

Overall! Very good read! <<less

I have already completed this long ago but I finally am writing a review for this.

Honestly this was one of the first CN novels I've read and I can say that this definitely hooked me in and pushed me to read CN novels.

I love this story. The MC is so awesome and the ML is also strong but what I appreciate is that the MC uses politics perfectly and uses her intelligence to win.

... more>> Of course the romance is nice. ML is devoted etc etc.

But the only thing that angered me is the rushed ending. For such a novel with political background, the politics isnt given importance at the end.

Anyways this is a good solid read and is definitely a gem. <<less

I finished the novel in 3 days.

First of all, wonderful. I enjoyed it a lot. The comedy was really hilarious. ML and FL are really a great couple.

The last few chapters I think may be focused on the plot too much. Or maybe I am biased and wanted more FL x ML action hahaha.

I shed a bunch of tears reading the last few chapters but the side stories made up for it.

I'd absolutely recommend this novel.

This novel is totally awesome. There's no such powers and being OP, it's more on schemes and word play. I love the characters except the villains. The development was something that would keep you going.

It's more on the political side and yes historical happenings. The romance are not that spicy, and yeah it's not really nsfw which I hoped so, but it can manage the flow. It's more on a bit of fluff although it's tagged as mature.

Both of the lead characters are my favorites. The story and character development are brilliantly written by the author. Oh, I wish they adapted this novel into drama. I would very much love to watch it. ღゝ◡╹) ノ♡ Thank you 'Zazajunnie' for your hard work to translate this novel. Awesome 👍

The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage is a rebirth revenge story that was well executed. Plot wise, the story is well connected. Some details were a little awkward, but since it wasn't important, it can be overlooked. You could see the character development of the MC. You get to see how she grew as a person from her first life to second life. Romance is slow, but interactions between the MC and ML was interesting. It added some humor to the story. If you read purely for... more>> romance, then this novel might not be for you. It focuses more on character building, old debts and new debts, her non romantic relationships, and her emotions as a mother who yearns for the children she lost in first life.

The biggest impact to me was how the author wrote MC's feelings towards her children of the first life. I could feel how MC felt for them; how much pain she felt for them in regards to how they lived, how much she sacrificed for them, how much she grieves for them, how much she missed them, and how much she loved them as their mother. I am not a parent myself, but I can feel her pain as a parent.
Spoiler

Even as she moves on in her second life and marries a different man, she does not forget her dead children. She understands any children she has in the second life will never be the same children she had in the first life. She had to accept they are gone forever, existing only as a memory.

[collapse]

I understand not every person is a good parent, so it's not hard to believe bad parents exist in novels, but it gets kind of depressing when novels focus too much on a woman's romantic love over any other kind of love. Sometimes it's about how MC is scorned, or that MC's mother loved the father too much and neglected MC, or MC chased ML and was doomed and past is heavily focused on rejection over everything else. It becomes a bit depressing as a reader to continuously read portrayal of women caring only about romantic love in their life. Since this story didn't heavily focus on that, I thought it was refreshing. I know these stories have a genre of romance, so we are choosing to read a story with that focus, but I think there can be a good balance in different kind of love---which this story did. This story focused on her past romantic (naive) love, current romantic love, motherly love, parental love, sibling love, and new family relationships and friendships that didn't exist in the past life. I mentioned what I like, now the part I dislike. The most annoying part of the story was the description of ML's appearance nearly every time he shows up. It gets to a point you just think, "Okay, he's HANDSOME, we get it, we don't need another reminder, now can we move on?" The need to be so descriptive is repetitive and awkward and didn't fit with the story's setting. I felt like it could either be that the author has an obsession/fantasy with handsome men, or it is written in a way to subtly lighten MC's personality who is oddly obsessed with his handsomeness despite being so serious in personality.

There are also generic plot in how people ruin a woman's reputation, with the common way in historical setting: s*xual assault. It's uncomfortable, and commonly used in Chinese novels. I'm not adverse to this subject being in stories, I'll still read stories that contain it. I prefer it being written with a purpose in understanding or emotional impact, more of a realistic approach. In Malicious Empress, I felt like it was just written for plot and nothing else. It wasn't used extensively, or have a main plot. I guess you can say Chinese authors are numb to this because it's so normalized in usage for novels and dramas-- historical and modern setting. In case any potential reader is super uncomfortable with any s*xual assault being used in a story, this will bother you. <<less

This story gave me a huge Satisfaction on completion. This story had 'story' with drama, plotting, revenge, crying and also with lot of funny parts. Thou' readers have to bear with author's obsession on our Purple clad robe with golden embroidery boy's descriptions and few seasons and scenery descriptions ? Otherwise story will go accordingly with ups and downs to keep us going till last. Heavily SHIP our side couples?

All Hail the Queen ? Our Empress Shen and Her Arrogant Black-Bellied Husband

Don't know whether it was cuz of our author's... more>> obsession or story character and plot setting my most favourite character award goes to our Purple clad robe with golden embroidery Man ??

Really a good one will recommend with total satisfaction. Also make a drama adaptation for this novel. Hope to see Shen Miao and Xie Jing Xing take a real form 💜 <<less

BEST josei-romance I've read so far! Though I mostly read those of rebirth ones (be it regression/transmigration).

The story and character development are brilliantly written that I can't put it down. Only managed to force myself to pause when the morning birds reminded me to, every single day, until I finished reading.

Like seriously, it had messed up my sleeping time for days! This shows how much I genuinely enjoy reading it.

Thus, for those who haven't, I couldn't recommend it enough; you just have to give it a go and let it... more>> swept you through its plot. <<less

This novel is a real GEM. Tbh, I don't like reading a novel that have more than 200+ chapter, but this one made me feel that the time that I spent is totally worth.

The MC is slay and the ML is charming and cool. I will not write spoiler since I'm not good at description, but I recommend you to pick up this novel. I love Princess Weiyong, but I gotta say I prefer this one better.

Wow, I really love this novel. The scheme is top notch. MC is my strong female lead type: clever, cunning, and beutiful. ML is handsome, cold, and also cunning like MC. They are made for each other.

... more>>
Spoiler

I'm glad this is not a type of novel which end up with MC getting together with her previous husband. Because he never loved and appreciated her, only used her for his own ambition and in the end pushed her to hang her self. Btw his ending is very satisfying.

Meanwhile ML, although at first he often suspicious of MC behaviour and one time almost kill her, in the end he become her ally. He also respect MC's opinion and treat her well.

After their wedding and ML's coronation, ML never take any concubine although MC in a coma for several months. They have twin boy together.

Side characters also have a happy ending in their current life, different from their previous tragic life.

This is my first review. This novel deserves it.

A lot of face-slapping and courtyard drama. The first 150 chapters are mainly based on this. BUT! It's so interesting that you get totally absorbed in the novel. Maybe a few cliche plots here and there and a number of paragraphs describing appearances, but the novel is totally worth it. The author has managed to draw out such emotions from me that no matter what Shen Miao does, I always stand on her side.

Shen Miao had a tragic past life, mainly due... more>> to her own (and her family's) faults. Learning from her past mistakes, Shen Miao decides to move ahead and extract revenge on those who made her life miserable. There are a few characters to lighten up the whole drama like Ji Yu Shu, Luo Tan and so on and I appreciate the author for it cos a lot of rebirth-revenge authors forget about the basic human feelings of friendship and love. Shen Miao also has doting parents and elder brother. There are a lot of scum characters, too. Especially her uncles' families and her arch-enemy of the previous lifetime.

Things start to get SUPER INTERESTING from around chapter 150 where you move deeper into the plot. The courtyard drama almost comes to a close and more importance is given to the Imperial Family itself. The romance starts from around here. The romance is slow and well-developed. You come to know about each of the ML's family members. The author has also explained the reason why she had rebirth and I appreciate her for it.

All in all, this is a wonderful novel which is worth your try. <<less

I started reading this after seeing all the good reviews, and it was worth the read!

One of my all time favorites!! It’s cliché, but not cliché as well. Everything was at a good pace, the leads had distinguished personalities, the side characters were also prevalent (they even get their own side stories and character development!) and the most tender or heart-wrenching moments were so well written!

The only drawback is unnecessary description of our male lead, who is like a purple cloud. Whenever Xie Jing Xing blinked, it felt like the... more>> King of Heavens sent lightning strikes down. His every word was like a lullaby that made you fall asleep, never to wake. This is how unnecessary the description of our male lead was like.

Also, there are unnecessary conflicts and they usually don’t have any significance later on. However, they justify this by showing the progression of our lead — Shen Miao.

I did wish to see more after Shen Miao and Xie Jing Xing got together, and all our side characters got together too.

The ending was anti-climatic and rushed, but the epilogue makes up for it.

This is also my first time finishing a novel that isn’t only 20 chapters, so it says a lot! A very good read, filled with great development, filled with heart-wrenching moments and undoubtedly one of my favorite couples. <<less

This is my very first review and english is not my native language so sorry for any mistakes.

Generally I don't dislike cliché novels or mangas. They're good to pass the time and sometimes I have even some fun. I also have to say I get bored with everything pretty quickly. I mean, I can't read several hundred chapters in one go. (Sadly, most novels I want to read have really, really many chapters, but that aside.)

I started this novel because of good reviews and rating. And I have to... more>> say this novel pulled me in from the very start. The intrigues were smart, the MC was calm and even merciless. Also I'm quite the fan of quick romance, but here the romance was slow burn and didn't interfere much with her (MC's) plans. I also liked the ML. And how many times I've rolled my eyes at author's descriptions of him. I totally feelt the translaor when reading them.

There were times when I was trembling from excitement, so I will definitely read it again someday. <<less
