Summary of the The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage
Shen Miao, the daughter of a powerful military family, remembered every tear shed over the years since becoming Empress. She had always believed in fate and loyalty, thinking their story was destined to be written through thick and thin together. But Prince Ding’s betrayal shattered that illusion; he turned his back on her not once but twice – first in sending her away as a hostage, then in letting go of her family ties completely during the transition between dynasties.
Now reborn into her 14th year before any tragedy unfolds, Shen Miao is determined to rewrite history. She knows exactly how ruthless some people can be: her own relatives hiding their dark intentions, her scheming elder cousins plotting behind her back, Prince Ding’s new concubine watching like a tiger for an opportunity... even the disreputable man seems eager to repeat his past actions.
This time around, she won't wait passively or sacrifice herself blindly. Her family needs protection from within and without, she has unfinished business with the crown, and most importantly – *she’s learned how to protect herself*.
Her gaze hardens slightly as a thought crosses her mind:
> “Who said this life is just about waiting? Let's see who can still play kingmaker when I’m calling the shots...”
Especially that arrogant young man from Xie family who once stood biasedly at her side – now he’ll find out what happens when *everyone* plays by Shen Miao’s rules.
