Descriptions:

Shen Miao, the Di daughter of a military lineage, pure, amiable, quiet and yielding, foolishly in love with Prince Ding, threw herself into the role of a wife.

After assisting her husband for six years, she finally became the mother of the world (Empress).

She accompanied him to fight for the country, flourished the countrys territory, took risks to become a hostage in another country. When she returned five years later, there was no place for her in the Inner Palace.

The beauty in his arms smiled brightly, Older sister, the country is stabilized, so you should retire.

Her daughter met with a violent death and her son the Crown Prince was deposed. Her Shen family who sacrificed themselves for the country and the Emperor, not a single one of them were lucky enough to escape. With the change of one dynasty, everything was overturned. Her clan perished and she had to mourn for her children.

Shen Miao never thought that being a married couple who have gone through trials and tribulations and mutually assisted each other was just a stage joke to him!

He said, Seeing that you have followed Zhen for twenty years, Zhen will grant you an intact corpse. You should thank this kindness.

Under the three Chi (1 chi = 1/3 meter) of white silk, Shen Miao made a malicious vow: In the time to come, she will take part in each and everyones end!

Upon rebirth, she returned to the time when she was fourteen, when the tragedy had yet to occur, her family was still alive and she was still the pure, amiable, quiet and yielding Di daughter of a military lineage.

Relatives hiding a black heart, Elder and younger (female) cousins are ruthless and malicious, the new Yiniang is like a tiger watching its prey and the disreputable man who wants to repeat the events?

Her family must be protected, the huge enmity must be avenged, the Imperial seat of the country must also be a part of the trophy. In this lifetime, lets see who can beat the others!

But that little marquis from the Xie family, the arrogant and obstinate spear carrying youth, stood biasedly at her side and proudly said, Just the fall of the Imperial power. Remember this, the world belongs to you. You- Belong to me!

Thoughts:

It is a typical rebirth story. FL was an idiot so she gets schemed and loses her life to her husband and his harem, FL rebirths, she meets ML, becomes OP, etc.

But for some reason, I liked this more than other novels with the same trope. Maybe it's because she doesn't just "meet ML and falls inlove instantly". The romance is very slow paced. She doesn't really need ML's help (most of the time) and uses her own knowledge to manipulate others to get revenge.

She can also risk herself in her schemes and is not without emotions.

I liked how FL didn't live her life only seeking revenge. She still made friends, protected her family, and whatnot. Supporting characters also don't come and go. They have their own duties to fulfill plots, you could never forget who a supporting character is.

There are some misunderstandings towards the ending part of the novel that kinda annoyed me, but I can tolerate it. Especially when their past was revealed.

The one thing I heavily disliked about this novel is that whenever ML appears, there is a constant reminder that he is VERY HANDSOME, THE MOST HANDSOME MAN IN THE WORLD. Like you cannot forget about that.

Like, what the hell? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, ML might not even be handsome in another person's eyes.

All in all I really liked this novel! It may not be one of my all time favorites, but I enjoyed it!
