In her previous life, Feng Zhizhuo crossed mountains of corpses and seas of blood, helping her adopted son ascend the imperial throne, only to be repaid with a thousand cuts. Reborn in her youth, she finally understands that the empire she conquered with her own hands can protect those she loves and give her peace in life and death only if it remains in her own hands. Now, with the dynasty on the brink of collapse and powerful aristocratic clans running rampant, she emerges from the confines of her mansion with a blade in hand. She settles old scores, breaks the power of the noble clans, and fights for the empire. The world calls her an evil phoenix, but she is determined to make the land her crown and bring forth, amid this chaotic age, a spring in which a woman ascends the throne.
