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.”

Can I give it 10 stars? Wish I could...

  1. This is my most favorite novel of ancient time. The story is at good slow pace (I love a novel with details movement, feeling, and situation). Although the romance is seldom to be showed, it's OK. I'm more curious about how the FL going to do with her limited power.
  2. The FL is not overpower, she's stronger little by little. Although she doesn't have power nor martial arts underling, she'll find other ways to protect her family.
  3. FL's family is the best. Trusting and caring parents, honest and clueless big brother... Author, u really are the best. I realized that at ancient novel, this kind of loving family is hard to find.
  4. The ML is god of beauty. Be ware of translator and editor's reaction every time the ML appeared. Anyway, it's still fine to read since his personality made the story fun sometime.
  5. The villains... Most of them, for now, are related with FL's family. Problems that u can find whenever there is a beauty that's more beautiful than her, or arrogant cousin or woman whose underestimated the FL. Just another villains that u'll find in other novel... Really, I wish I have an axe, gun, and sword to kill them.

I honestly say that this is one of if not the best C-novel that I have read, so far. Waiting for the translated chapters and sticking to the end of the book is definitely worth it. I have read everything else via MTL and can even say its still worth it. The author gives you angst, intrigue, and satisfaction with the MC as she plots her revenge on every single one who did her wrong. The writer does great even with the comedy and fluff. I especially love the interactions... more>> with the MC and ML and can agree with a previous blogger that he is definitely an adorable barrel of vinegar!

There are some heart-wrenching moments. My heart always breaks for the MC whenever she thinks back on her past and how naive she was and how her and her family were manipulated and their lives taken. It makes her rebirth and second chance to prevent their ends and exact revenge all the more satisfying!

I don't want to spoil anything but you will definitely love how the MC and ML crossed paths in her previous life :) I wish I could list down all my favorite moments of the novel but I hope this makes you curious enough to stick to the novel or read on and support the hard working translators.

Thank you! <<less

This is really good!

Just the right amount of drama and angst.

I have read some spoilers and I even know how this novel would end but I am really looking forward to the translated chapters! Especially the interactions between the ML and MC and how their feelings will gradually become romantic.

It is so refreshing to see a female protagonist who works behind the scenes. To date, I have only read OP FP's who are skilled in alchemy, martial arts, a total genius, etc. And the common thing about them is that... more>> most of the time, they personally deal with their enemies, eventhough they can make use of their subordinates.

Anyways, the part when Jiao Jiao acted flirty with Little Marquis Xie during her drunken state was soooo funny! Haha! I believe when their relationship gets romantic, we'll get more of these funny and unexpected turnout of events.

Thank you translator-san! And good work, author-san! ;) <<less

One word. GREAT. This is the greatest cnovel I have read so far. The plot is greatly done and I love how the female lead's previous personality that was built over time was retained after rebirth unlike any other cnovels where the female lead seems to change overnight. Her character is well built and even her past connections were highlighted in her new life which tugs at ur heart (the feels bruh, the feels. Especially towards those people she knew will NEVER return). It's great how she used her past... more>> knowledge to outwit and counterattack the schemes of her own family (that can't really be considered as one) and the patience she had as she carefully laid out her pieces to trample the imperial family. Even though the female lead is arrogant, it is justified due to her previous life. I love how it doesn't focuses much on the romance which makes you more hooked and agitated at the very slow progress of their relationship. Their politics gets you on the edge of your seat.

GREAT. JUST f*ckING GREAT. THERE'S NOTHING ELSE. <<less

Simply amazing, from the plot towards the characters and ofcourse the translation it is very clear and well reviewed.

So far I really think that this is one of the best novel I have ever read the main character is very good at plotting schemes to others as well as the male lead which proves they are really a perfect match.?

dont get why people rate this so high

The main problem I have with this novel is the info dumps (and a ton of it), in the first few chapters, and most of the time you won't understand who is this character and so many names are mentioned and uts hard to keep tracking

this problem could also be because of the translation, there are many errors that make reading this extremely hard

i have only read 5-6 chapters and many would say that this is not enough and I should read... more>> more

well no, alot of the plot is about schemes and such and an accurate translation is needed for us readers to understand, and when the translation is butchered and you are just reading bits and details and trying to link them together, it's horrendous and most of the time I don't get what's going

plus a lot of Chinese terms are used and I have to always open a glossary to understand who is talking what

and the plot just seems like your typical revenge time travel story, and ofc nothing about the time travel is explained and I highly doubt they will ever do that

so yeah it's dropped <<less

I really like it so far. One of the best rebirth stories. A really smart cunning protagonist. The male lead is also smart and cunning, but you feel that their ruthless methods are just. He is also attracted to her abilities and skills rather than her looks.

This is an amazing story. If you like anything to do with Ancient Chinese imperial intrigue will scheming and revenge, this is the adventure for you. It isn't heavily into romance (at least, up till this point, the male lead hasn't done too many male lead things, mostly being a spectator), but extremely satisfying in the revenge department. The empress reincarnates (or rather, time travels back?) into her 14 year old self, then proceeds to overturn every tragic/evil/disadvantageous outcome into one where she (or her loved ones) win. In the... more>> process, she destroys everyone who slighted or wronged her in her past life. The events in the second go-around do change, so it's not like Shen Miao has a perfect crystal ball to know exactly what will happen. What makes this novel excellent is the way that she uses knowledge from her past life to manipulate and bargain human chess pieces into doing her bidding, even if she doesn't have perfect information. And of course, her unflappable and confident always-in-control temperament reminiscent of Genius Doctor's Jun Wu Xie.

Shen Miao is really using her past experiences to good use. The story is shown like Shen Miao using chess pieces to accomplish her goal. She is cunning and ruthless to her enemies at the age of 14 (of course she has reincarnated) that some might think (one would think hahahahaha) that she has backers behind her shadow. Somehow the future changes a bit due to her actions but she will be unyielding and will certainly rise to the top. Also, the villains are not idiots but it's just that... more>> she is 2 steps ahead of them. Come and read this story filled with hatred and revenge with a touch of romance than blooms as the story progresses. Btw the author almost always exaggerates the 'handsomeness' of the male lead that the translator never fails to join the cringe-fest with the readers. PS: There are some grammatical errors but I find it bearable

Also regarding MondoX's review about the choking scene I have to agree with Pomelo (damn why is there no 'reply' option here). Both have secrets to tell so they both know that those who know their secrets will be killed. It just turned out that the person is Shen Miao. If he wanted to he could have killed her and the story will end but of course the MC is cunning. There are no resentments since she understood well of the consequences. She even stated after that it is better for their paths to not cross again. So no! Don't give a low review if your reasoning is that she'll fall in love with someone who once tried to kill her, understand that the circumstance just made it so. <<less

Good Novel!

The FL is not that smart actually, but she is forced to be intelligent and with her backing of past experience, she can fight on her own.

But since this is a romance novel. Of course she can't fight on her own. She had no power to fight her ex-husband in past and use ML power to fight him. Naturally they fall in love first. The FL turned into not so malicious girl when with ML, just like a rabbit with a wolf.

Still... I'm dissatisfied with the lack of hot... more>> cough cough scene and less story after the ending.

Comparing it with other novel, this novel doesn't have irritation feeling that much compared to chu wang fei.

This is a good novel with a reincarnated FL. <<less

Wow, really different from the typical style of the genre.

its refreshing to have a MC that is not the typical 'i was born op', both in the looks & brains department

she suffered to gain the knowledge and at the point I reached, it is what enhances her beauty.

translation wise, I would say the quality & speed is not the best but engaging story so far has made up for it.

I have so far read a lot of rebirth/transmigration novels. Most have this cliche plot - assassin/medicinal prodigy/attracted someone powerful etc. I have to say that I was pretty much bored after reading a few good ones like genius doctor-black belly miss, demonic king chases his wife (dropped because I got bored), bewitching prince spoils his wife (ok novel in my opinion... probably because I have acquired an immunity to transmigration plot), Ghost's king wife or something (I liked this one because MC seems cool and she is not a... more>> genius 21st century miss), Insanely Pampered Wife: Divine Doctor Fifth Young Miss (I like this one too) and there are many others on rebirth and transmigration. But I love this novel. I am waiting for more translated chapters and hoping that the translator updates it frequently. I noticed that chapters are longer compared to other novels. I want to thank the translators for such good work in translations.

The novel is just good. I like the MC because she is so self reliant esp. the part where she schemes/plans and act on her own. She gives me the feeling of anti-heroine and even the dresses she choose is so... well, cool. I mean, it shows that impressions/ attire/ and personality are more important than beauty. She had the same face, but she is more attractive after the rebirth.

Another thing I love that... though I pretty much know who is the main male lead, the interaction between the MC and Male lead is not typical 'I fell in love with you personality at first sight'. I mean, there is more than typical romance. They suit each other so much and yet... it's like they are both gives values to their ambitions more than romance. The best part is MC doesn't need the male lead. she does everything on her own. She won my heart when she gave such meaning to the color purple <3

I am waiting for more :) <<less

Yes so far is a good one. Much have been said already. I will only add that I like that the MC use strategy, not god like martial arts or medicine like other transmigration novels. I love how things are developing between de MC and ML, and I love how she sometimes is on the verge of forgetting she is not anymore the empress of her past life, like calling "impudent" a certain someone. And for once the MC ruthless made sense with her past life.

Better than average. A wronged Empress travels back to her youth and sought to change everything, bringing along her lifetime of experience and cynicism. No longer the naive idiot that was being laughed at, now she would strike first against those who had wronged her.

Quite similar to The Princess Wei Yang where the MC is willing to take matters into her own hands, rather than just reacting to the 'crisis of the day' type scenarios. She sets out to influence things before they happen instead of just passively overturning this... more>> or that plot that comes her way. <<less

Best novel I've read so far! I don't think anyone can defeat our empress in revenge/historical genre. If this is going to be adapted to a drama, good luck finding the best ML/FL! The bar was set tooooo high, and this is not just because of the physical appearance.

I usually avoid josei (I'm male), but I decided to give this a try and it's really good. MC is properly ruthless and gets revenge on those who try to harm her, not shying away from some pretty cruel methods when they're the most effective. Lots of smart plotting and the romance is better than I expected. The ML is better than other josei/shoujo that I've read... he's still an overbearing a**hole, but at least there's no s*xual assault?

There are definitely some things I really dislike (some really forced drama... more>> a couple times, for example), and there are a few plot holes and forgotten things. Despite that, I highly recommend reading this if you're in the mood for ruthless scheming. <<less

My first Chinese reincarnation novel. Probably because of this, I've special place in my heart.

MC Shen Miao although reincarnated, doesn't become OP at once. The "revenge" that she takes is mostly step by step process rather than just one move that other reincarnation trope follows.

ML Xie Jing, is strong and OP. But because it is shown how strong he is rather than just saying, it doesn't become too repetitive even until the end.

Even though they are both very capable, there are still some challenges that they must face, some struggles... more>> and they are not omnipotent which make this novel much more humane. <<less

This read has quite the elaborate scheme of revenge. It's an enjoyable journey without the dragging plotline. Each character introduced has a clear outline and purpose in the story. If you are a critique of details, there's not much to be critical about. As for the translation, the use of language and punctuation could be improved.
