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 s*um 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.”

This is my very first CN novel and the one thing thats gonna linger with me is how vicious the revenge executed compared to any KR and JP i've read. The villainess is villainessing.

The way of speech needs time to get used to. Start with a strong bang, end with a rather bland taste, which I think what author want ... more>>
Spoiler

(since "thats how revenge gonna taste like once you get it" is the message author try to tell?)

. What I adore is the scheming. How an event domino-ing others. But its true that sometimes it felt like an MC privilege since in the end she almost come out unscratch. Do I need to mention about how outer worldly XJX is? Lmao I skip every description of him after 70ish chapter.

Have its good and bad, totally worth the rating <<less

One of my favorite cnovels. Betrayed empress is reborn. Her goal in this life is to save her family and get revenge on everyone who wronged them in the past life. Along the way she becomes entangles with the male lead. The ending is unnecessarily extended but still a great read

If you like this novel, I highly recommend watching the audio drama on maoer fm. It’s 100% better, the casting and production is top quality and I cried sm (especially S2). Definitely worth my money.

I would give the novel itself 3.5 stars and the AD a 5, because the romance feels more natural there and the ML is more likeable (plus his voice is amazing hehe). I think that her scenes from the past is more painful to hear, so prepare your tissues. If you can’t read chinese, you could... more>> use google translator on the website. <<less

This was the first rebirth & revenge I've read and it'll always be close to my heart, I loved every bit of it, binged read it in 3 days, staying awake past 5 am each day. To this day I search for a glimpse of this novel in everything I read and it's safe to say I've never been successful in that quest and never will be.

I really wanted to love this story but I just can’t get over the fact that FL is a woman in her mid thirties in the body of a 13 year old. It just weirds me out and I have read/love rebirth stories before. Not to mention she is not even behaving like she is 30. The most we can get from that is when she feels it’s too s*upid to engage with her current age mates considering even her daughter in her past life is older than them.

On the... more>> matter of children, considering she was such a “loving mother” o am finding it hard to believe that she could easily go on with her life knowing her children will never exist! Which is why I would have preferred if they if the matter of children hadn’t even been added (what even was the point) and if the author was adamant about children, I would have preferred if they died when younger, that way her lack of attachment to them would make it reasonable why she was able to move on that easily. I just couldn’t get past this but other than that this is really one of the best revenge novels in terms of schemes. <<less

Summary of the novel

ML is reborn as the plot description says. She takes revenge of her enemies (basically relatives) by using mind blowing plots and separates her own family (her father, mother and brother) from harm. During this time she makes friends and meets ml.

After a break (goes away from capital with her family), she comes backs and restarts revenge.

She marries ML and moves to his kingdom. FL and ML takes final revenge on all during the war and the revenge is taken. She gaves birth to twin prince and... more>> goes to coma. She later wakes up and happily ever after.

The novel is for those who need to have:

  • Good translation
  • Long reads
  • Strong fl
  • Unbelievable and absolute amazing plots
  • Beautiful and cold FL and ml
  • Unnatural elements (only at end)
This is my absolute favourite and I never regret reading it because some of her feelings were really nicely portrayed such as betrayal and loss.

Thank you for your works <<less

I absolutely LOVEEE this novel!!! It’s kinda boring and repetitive at first but when you get later into the story that’s when it gets good! I was crying so much at some chapters. MC and ML’s relationship is sweet and is a breath of fresh air from those controlling yandere ice block MLs. This novel opened my mind to what REAL scheming is really like! I especially loved the side characters, they were so intriguing ... more>>

and I fell in love with Shen Qiu and Feng An Ning <333. Emperor Yong Le and Empress Xian de’s story was absolutely heartbreaking and I was crying at the end but they were my fav couple.

I feel like the author could’ve done more with revenge against Fu Xiu Yi (AKA Prince Ding, our main villain) it felt kinda rushed at the end, although the ending itself was nice. I wish there was like a happy ending for Pei Lang he just had an inconclusive ending, for someone who sacrificed THAT much for MC I think he could have a decent ending or inner peace. Overall, it’s still amazing and I love it. Searching for other novels like this but I don’t know if I’ll ever find a treasure like this again<3 <<less

This is one of the best rebirth revenge slapping novel I have ever read. Truely magnificent!

You can really feel the angst of SM and how she handles her revenge towards her enemies.

An eye for an eye. Omfg

no words enough to describe how savage the FL is. And im not even near half the novel but the development is really amazing. The loopholes you might think at first will be immediately answered on the next chapters with a deep twsit you're not gonna expect and will surprise you greatly.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I was glad, I was able to finished the novel. It was definitely worth the rating. I love Shen Miao and Xie Jing Xing. I love their relationship and their interaction. Also, I love all the things that Shen Mia did for her road for revenge. I was just sad for the previous royal couple of Great Liang. I hope they have a rebirth and get to have their own happy ending. Overall, worth reading the novel.

'The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage' is a spellbinding tale of second chances, vengeance, and the indomitable spirit of one of the most compelling female leads in Chinese literature, Shen Miao. The story skillfully delves into themes of betrayal, loyalty, and redemption while chronicling the evolution of Shen Miao as a character. A master strategist and tactician, she employs her keen intellect to surmount numerous challenges, ultimately seizing control of her destiny. In a powerful display of resilience, Shen Miao refuses to play the victim, standing up... more>> for her beliefs even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. I wholeheartedly recommend this novel to anyone who relishes stories of redemption and resourceful heroines.

My view is not much of a review but an observation. The book is good and I enjoyed reading it but I had to skip some paragraphs in several chapters. Why?! Cos of the overly sugar coated description of the ML.

Dear author, you are good and I love your work but the description was just too much. In every chapter that the ML makes an appearance you read something like "XJX was originally good looking but at that moment his frivolous smile makes one feel warm... bla bla bla" XJX... more>> was a handsome youth", .🙄🙄

But in all the book was good 😁 <<less

This is now my new favorite light novel. It is absolutely amazing, and I loved every bit of it. I am a HUGE romance reader so when reading the reviews, I was quite hesitant to actually pick up the novel. In the end, I did. That was the best choice I ever made, period. In the first 140 ish chapters, the romance is honestly very subtle. It’s there, alright, but it’s not the key focus at the moment. After chapter 140, the romance is so strong and apparent, but in... more>> a good way. The wait is so worth it. They are the cutest couple and will be in my favorites. There are a couple things I didn’t like about the book, however. There is a LOT of sexism and a bit of misogyny as well. I don’t think the author is personally sexist or misogynistic but they intentionally included them because it was revelant at to the time period of the book. However, if this is a sensitive topic to you, I would strongly recommend against reading it. Another small thing I noticed was that the last couple of chapters were a bit rushed. I personally still enjoyed the plot and the storyline anyways, but compared to the earlier slow and anticipating writing, it was a bit fast-paced. There were a couple time skips as well but I personally don’t mind those. Thus, I would definitely recommend this novel to any revenge, reincarnation, or romance genre fan. <<less

The FL (Shen Miao), gets a second chance at life after being killed off by her husband. After having suffered for so long only to get a bad end, she greets her rebirth with great cynicism. She wants to bring down all the people that wronged her and destroy their paths just like they did to her. As the daughter of military lineage whose power is expected to be whisked away in the future, she can only rely on small schemes to get her revenge. Fortunately, later on down the... more>> line, when things get too big, she gets the help of the ML (Xie Jing Xing). Their start is not the best with the two being so guarded, but eventually, they wear each other down.

This is not your usual romance novel. For one thing, the FL is incredibly black bellied. She later very cruel, and the FL is equally so. Another thing is that the romance is very slow. The main couple have lots of things to work out! But anyway — I digress. I can see now why this novel has such a high rating. The unique characters and their development made for a very satisfying read. The pacing is great too. I wouldn’t say that it’s perfect (the author has a tendency towards redundancy), but it’s 100% worth the time invested!

Highly recommended if you’re into face-slapping and black-bellied protagonists. The FL is, as mentioned, not your usual and is really cold. To the point of being a bit dull in the beginning, but there’s a reason for everything and I admire the fact that the author stuck to her character setting for her, it made it more satisfying to see her grow out of the shell she made for herself after her past life.

Warning: Of course, a warning is in order! For one the FL is underage at the start of their relationship. For another, there are some pretty heavy allusions to r*pe, so it is best to stay away if that is a trigger for you.

RATING: 4.65/5

There are some little things that could have used some work but they’re mostly small finicky stuff. Otherwise, the novel is really good and highly recommended! OH- and- The translation is a bit difficult to read at first, and it’s not the cleanest, but after a while you get used to it! A lot of people quit because of the translation but I say give it a chance anyway. The TL-ers also prepared lots of guides and stuff so that you can know who’s who in the beginning. <<less

I have been reading this kind of genre quite a lot and I must say this is one of the best novel I've read.

This plot and main characters were written with such detailed and plot twist that it makes you feel like living through the novel.

The ML and FL relationship started as aquaitance and slowly develop into love. I love how the ML react with FL. He really pissed the FL at the beginning but she slowly accepted him as the way he is haha.

Their family and friends character were... more>> also wonderfully portrayed. Each of them has a purpose to served till the end.

The only reason I gave 4 stars is because the ending was kind of rush. I was hoping to get more story about their after married life and also the development of the side characters but quite disappointed.

Nevertheless, this book will remain as of the best book I've read. Don't rush when you read it as the beginning might be overwhelming with bunch of characters introduction with their schemes and politics but eventually it will gripped you to read till the end.

Also, the word purple clad youth with lazy attitude, mischievous smile and sharp eyes will stuck in your head as the author repetitively used it to describe the ML lollll. <<less

I watch and read tons of historical genre stories. This one hand down the most detailed revenge and interesting storyline I ever read. Obviously, my fav is FL character, and how the story revolves around FL and ml. ML development character makes it exciting as he was not obviously introduced as ML directly from the early chapter. As I read I realize how jing xing proves he is the ml. Their relationship didn't develop fast but is growing from each encounter. How I enjoy so much they being partner in... more>> crime with a win-win situation.

the fact that FL goal is taking revenge and also at the same time how her relationship with others improves make the story even better. Each of her revenge is ruthless and the chef kiss plot especially how prince rui dies (i really enjoy it a lot).

although I do have a bit of dissatisfaction with the near-ending story which is a bit disappointing. It could have been written way better, plus maybe the expectation of how good the near-ending plot twist should be due to the amazing plot before. I did wanna see a bit more interesting story FL with mei furen because I hate mei furen a lot. Their story was a bit lacking as I wanted more plot because her previous life spend heartbreaking time before with mei furen.

there are a few characters that I wish to have a bit more storyline such as her best friend, brother, and even the prince ding. Overall this story sure did satisfy my criteria for what a revenge story should be.

side info I already read this novel countless times to the extent I know what the next sentence is. Making matter worse I already printed this novel (I enjoy reading hardcopy rather than softcopy). <<less

I love this novel. I have yet to find another one that can fill me like this one.

Although, towards the end there were some unnecessary little events, they still don't bother me.

I wish I could find a novel again with a protagonist with the same aura as Xie Jing Xing.

Now, what does bother me is that the translator got tired of the author's constant descriptions of XJX's appearance, and exposes it in every chapter and all those people who followed her around like a lapdog and even this one in... more>> the reviews complain about it. <<less

Lovely novel. I felt a lot of emotions and that's what I really like the most when reading. So I will definitely remember this novel. Thank you for the author for giving us this novel. And thank you for the translator/s. Although some parts are confusing because the names used are wrong (should be a different person). But I still understood it. 😊

I don't know why there were so many mixed reviews on this book, but I took most of the negative comments with a grain of salt. For such a long book, I cannot believe how fast I finished it. I spent majority of my Holiday Break finishing this up. Absolutely no regrets, plus I really love the interactions among the characters. I agree that there were some plot holes that the author never came back to and some unanswered questions, but they were all somewhat insignificant anyways and did not... more>> make any huge plot issues in the latter half of the story. Overall enjoyed the story, the characters and of course the romance. I particularly enjoyed the very last side story, might even get back to that one in the future.

Absolute tear-jerker. Revenge is one of the main themes yes, but the romance is still there albeit a bit slow at the beginning. Jing Xing and Shen Miao truly are one of the best couples I have come across while reading c-novels. The question of 'the beauty or the country?' really didn't hamper their feelings at all. They both managed to protect their families from politics, even at the cost of losing an army or their status. I'm glad SM got closure from her previous life and moved on.

Probably my... more>> fourth or fifth time reading, and yet this part never fails to move me to tears:

One of the best reads of my life. I even love the slowburn romance. JingXing and his wild side will make you at the edge of your seat every damn time. Truly beautiful affinity they had and I am glad she treasured that. I also love a sequel for her cousin.
