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.”

A truly wonderful story, I greatly enjoyed it.

Most of all I appreciated that the MC is a believable person. Not a genius in any field, just someone who's hurting and trying to fix the mistakes of the past. How she deals with her opponents is mainly through dialog, she learned how to twist her words to get what she needs. So your suspension of disbelief is much less needed in this story.

In addition the relationship with ML takes time to develop and grow, they learn the good and the bad... more>> about each other and there's no instant lust. You can see the genuine love and care grow between them, they know to appreciate the other and therefore when they finally do get together it's so much more touching.

Spoiler

The story is roughly divided into 2 parts, the 1st mainly deals with her schemes while the 2nd is her overcoming the pain of the past and learning to live anew. From reading other reviews some seem to be disappointed by the 2nd part because there is less schemes but personally I think it's more realistic. There's only so much that words can do against monarchs and now she has someone else she can finally rely on to help her. Also, when she's in a new and completely unfamiliar place you can't expect her to suddenly be on top of everything.

However I do agree that the ending is rushed. The last chapter is a big mess, and the 20 or so chapters before could have really been easily doubled if not tripled to expand the plot.

[collapse]

But even despite the weak ending I still highly recommend the story, you really grow to love the characters.

On a side note, the translation is very good so thank you for that!! <<less

It is so difficult to rate this, because I liked this novel and disliked it at the same time.

If you can stomach reading about endless malicious schemes and bad-mouthing from narrow-minded people, read it.

If you can bear reading about a society that undervalues women a lot, read it. This is somewhat made bearable by the MC who, frankly, kicks ass.

... more>> Also, you should have lots of patience, this novel is loooong.

Otherwise I enjoyed every bit of it, if the first three points won´t disturb you, it´s a recommendation! Alas there were only a few likeable characters, but they were worth it (I want to read short stories about how some of those side characters get together!).

The best part was still the finale. There was a short time period when the heroine had to get used to her new circumstances, then she used her brain again and it was good. The unveiling of her whole past (including what happened after her death) made me cry, ready some tissues : (It was truly beautiful how she gradually went from being revengeful and mistrustful to leading a beautiful life. All thanks to her hubby who is on one hand a 0815 gary stu yet interesting to read about. <<less

This was just a beautiful story. This is not like your other rebirth stories.

Shen Miao never lose sight of her goals and is calm, benefiting the title of Empress.

Xie Jing Xing is not your abusive Male Lead, he has actual power and he is very sweet to his wife.

... more>> They both have unshakable trust in each other and they did not fall in love at first sight. Whenever he shows up it doesn't seem forced, it's very natural.

This is by far my favorite novel and I'm glad I was able to finish and read it.

A VERY HUGE THANKS TO ZAZA, THE TRANSLATOR, FOR BEING DEDICATED TO THIS NOVEL. YOU ARE THE BEST! <<less

[Edited Comment]

Of course every story is not perfect, but to this point I haven't meet yet HE het story that as good as this one, or a better one. There's people who down-voted (1~3stars) this story, and I'm still wondering why the reasons are.

As for me, I gave 5stars because as I said, the plot and how it's brought are satisying and done in well preparation.

... more>>
  • A seems-like perfect MC but still humanly a normal character. Although she was potraited as a beauty, it wasn't to the point the-most-beautiful-of-them-all. Every character was introduced in similar manner. No female is described as ugly physically to make MC stood out as more beautiful. The story described ML as inhumanly charming and handsome male because -somehow imo- it's how the MC described ML a.k.a her opinion. Plus, the MC could manage (almost) everything because her past experience, and she learnt well from it. Her temper and knowledge didn't come from nothing. But since it was a secret, it looked like she was genius but actually she just able to learn well and had good memory.
  • Efficient & Effective MC and ML, and some other characters. Don't mention ML, even readers (including me) love the MC's (and ML's) viciouness tendency which I take it as E&E. They're not a good person, but not the kind that blindly drain blood from anyone without reason. They're described as people who knew who to deal, how to deal, and how much effort to put into the deal.
  • The main plot is clear and the plot-filler is connected to the main plot, both are smoothly introducing the strength and weakness that MC possesses.
Of course some limit existed to side with MC and granted her an advantage. But it's not to the point to be called 'deus ex machina'. So the overall story is good and well done.

The translator did a very good job with this story. No matter how much a good story is, without being well translated, it will only be a pity. Slowly and steadly, the translation is updated and with some support from some people, the (main) story is already finished translated. <<less

Randomly picking up novel about a week ago and OMG this novel is fantastic...... I'm tired of jap's weak or s*upid or ilogical MC (not all of em but many is), korean is a bit fine but still not there yet, but our MC shen miao here? She's an absolute badass, brutal, cunning, yet not without reason......

... more>>
Spoiler

most of her actions driven from her past lifetime, from REVENGE! Those who wronged her before? She gave hell on earth! Those who stand in her way or try to oppose her after her rebirth? She gave the absolute mercy of quick death! I think that should shen dong ling didn't try to scheme shen miao, then she would've live a peaceful life but God knows what went into her that she decided to dig her own grave lol.... the second and third household? Toyed with, humiliated, and disgraced before completely wiped out! Hah!

[collapse]

The romance is slow..... you would see MC and ML interactions from early, yet it is not until later..... much later..... that it develop into love? Or maybe respect for each other? Maybe both, and I realy like it

Spoiler

the scene once shen miao woke up from seeing her previous life once more and act affectionately with xjx made me nosebleeding in my head and expend all my insulin shot lol

[collapse]

All in all? This novel is one of the best novel I ever read. Definitely recommended! 10/5 <<less

I am more of a reader than a reviewer, and tbh I feel like I don't have the right to criticize novels with my small amount of experience on Chinese novels so I'll keep it short. Very short.

Absolutely excellent, no dragging on with a great ending, a rebirth story that doesn't have physically impossible happenings, thicc as fk plot armor, just absolutely s*upid obstinance to get rid of enemies nor overly brutal methods.

Read it or it's your loss :)

I quite enjoyed this story very much. The MC was smart, determined, and protects her family well while getting revenge. ML is dependable but OP. I liked how they didn't fall in love immediately and it was a slow build, but at times the romance felt a bit too slow. (Took 150+ chapters before they finally did anything). The plot was nice and didn't feel rushed. Overall, I'd recommend it.

The only bad thing I can say about it was how the author describes characters. Ex: For the MC, if you... more>> ever forget that her past life she was an empress, don't worry, they mention it constantly in almost every chapter. Every time (and I do mean EVERY) the ML enters the scene, there are paragraphs of how his "peach blossom shaped eyes", "cold stare", and "smile but not a smile" is so beautiful that the whole room just stops and stares. <<less

Translation: 3.7/5, Story: 5/5

The translation isn't the most refined. I almost abandoned it halfway, so glad I came back to it.

The story is super solid. Love love love the antihero MCs!!

The back story of both FL and ML are extremely complicated but it's woven into the plot seamlessly and revealed gradually. Story is very engaging and addresses profound themes. Author is masterful at portraying human self preserving nature as various characters' and especially the MC's motives and agendas runs deep. All characters big or small are multifaceted, their actions are... more>> accounted for and written in a very believable way! Not once did I feel that they have deviated from their personality. Some arcs can be rather draggy and initially the author has a habit of repeating stuff excessively (I suspect to lengthen and hit word count on qudian) but just skim through those and it gets better and better as you read on! I promise! Slow burn romance, but so so good! The chemistry between the FL and ML is palpable!! I'm rooting so hard for them! <<less

This is just such a good story about revenge. I have yet to read a boring chapter of this novel. Every chapter had a reason to be written and never felt like it was forced. The relationship between the leads is really good. It developed slowly and was never forced. The pair fit each other perfectly because they both are kunning and scheming all the time. The revenge story is just so pleasing. Shen miao has me thinking what is she going to do next and still surprises me with... more>> her schemes. She truly is an amazing heroine. Overall I'm very pleased with this story and never want it to end! <<less

I really love how the author writes the story, it gives you a feeling that everything has a consequences just like how the heaven gave Jiao- jiao a second chance to live the life she really deserve.

Yeah sometimes our past haunts us but this kind of nightmare helps us change everything and I see that in this novel.

I really love XJX's character in all lifetime/dream whenever he meets SM ❤...

I love thise novel sooo much!! Definitely my favorite one, together with Poison Genius Consort. The MC doesn't have any outstanding talents, but she has the knowledge and patience and she learned from her past mistakes. Everything makes so much sense and the revenges are really satisfying !!!

This novel is one of the best chinese novels I have ever read. I have read this one over and over again. I just loved it.

The MC is so cool. She carried out her revenge perfectly. XJX is the best ML ever. I love the way the author wrote the the novel. Everything about him in the novel author described was perfect excluding the repeat description of ML beauty. The romance was really slow. But that's why it's so interesting. Would love it if there was more the couple interaction... more>> after SM recovered with their twins. <<less

WARNING!!! This story may make you want to kill a lot of people

Love this, especially because it deals with different scenarios, and it's not just the same thing over and over again with different characters. I also love it because it DOESN'T HAVE A THOUSAND CHAPTERS!!!! It's doesnt drag a long for too much but the romance is a bit lacking rn

THIS IS THE BEST REVENGE NOVEL I'VE READ SO FAR!

Every revenges were done beautifuly with almost satisfying results. Although some were cruel, but the opponents were totally deserved it considering how cruel their own original plan.

You can say it is a slow romance but if you notice it, the author was clever enough to built the atmospher little by little. Not like other stories which usually rushing the romance, like just 2 chapt and already cannot be separated? *Roll the eyes*

It is just the author have a fancy in describing... more>> how perfect the ML for almost every screen time of him. Lol. Even the translator and editor cannot bear it sometime ? (I'm with you translator-nim. Always laugh when you start to say your inner roar).

Mostly the story's flow was serious, but when there was some chapter when the interaction of MC and ML got soooo cute. Made me couldn't held my laugh!

Really deserve 5/5 stars! Thank you author thank you translator! <<less

My oh my, it's been awhile since I read something this good. If you like a revenge-filled story with an MC who kicks ass but isn't your typical righteous heroine than this is the perfect story. The MC is calculating, cold, indifferent yet underneath that cold facade lies the hurt emotions of a regretful woman. Romance is kinda slow tho, it's particularly not there but instead focuses on the MC's revenge. Anyhow, I can't sum up this amazing story in this review so you gotta read it yourself to see... more>> how awesome it is. GO READ IT!!!! <<less

Well written, well-paced, and well-developed characters. There is no chapter wasted and every scheme works like well-oiled cogs inside a gigantic machine. What I love about this novel is that it reached its agenda without any detours and ended in a suitable amount of chapters, never lengthening it for the sake of views or other external factors. The author seemed to operate under this perspective as well and even mentioned that they never quite expected the amount of tickets they received for a particular chapter when they didn't ask for... more>> any in the first place [in the raws]. For me this is commendable because it shows that the author knows where their novel is going and it showed.

重生之将门毒后 is both character and plot-driven and as a reader, I couldn't ask for more. If I must give a distinction, I'd say that the first part is focusing on plot with the reader being introduced to key characters -which is why the romance is low-key here- and also with the author laying down the foundations for the more character-centric second part. Foreshadowing is abundant here too, most are heartwarming and others a bit tragic.

The ongoing theme of 重生之将门毒后 is the notion that in this universe, two people are fated to meet and not necessarily fated to be together because in the end, it is up to them to develop this destiny. It was shown in
Spoiler

the past, when MC gave a red string bracelet to ML while drunk; the present and the future, when she was in a coma

Not only that, the reason behind her rebirth was actually rationalized here so yes, this is really a great novel and I highly, highly recommed this [even mtling]. <<less

Oh my god, this is my favorite novel out of all the ones that I have read. I’ve never got tire of reading this novel (I reread it 5 times already).

I love how the main guy doesn’t fall in love as quick as the other main lead in the other novels. I like how the romances in this novel isn’t too quick which doesn’t get me bored, but rather more into it. The plot is epic and super duper interesting.

Female lead: SM —— Love how she’s making things reverse and... more>> knowing what she should be preparing for what’s ahead of her. Also love how she’s sending her enemies off one by one.

I would be truly glad if there is a Chinese drama or animation for this novel! <<less
