Empresses In The Palace Chinese Historical

Amid the softly falling snow in the Cold Palace courtyard, Princess Xianlan drew her final breath—silently. She had been falsely accused of poisoning the Crown Prince, brutally flogged until her body was torn, and imprisoned without a shred of mercy— all part of a cruel scheme orchestrated by Noble Consort Su Zhen, her stepmother, whose gentle appearance masked a heart of poison. Meanwhile, the Emperor of Li—the very man who claimed to love her above all—never realized that the only daughter he cherished had been crushed to death by the hands of the one he trusted most. But the heavens showed mercy. Xianlan opened her eyes once more, reborn into her eight-year-old self— in the time before everything shattered. This time… she would not be a worthless pawn in a game of power. She would become the master strategist, toppling each of her enemies one by one. With icy composure and razor-sharp wit, Xianlan hid in the shadows, slowly gathering evidence, allies, and influence within the palace. And fate brought her an unexpected ally— Feng Yuhan, Crown Prince of the Southern Yan Kingdom, known as the “Winter Tiger.” Cold, brilliant, and seemingly heartless—yet from their first meeting, something in her eyes held his gaze. Together, they moved in the darkness. Xianlan laid the plans. Feng Yuhan executed them. As the Kingdom of Li fell into the depths of political games— As vipers hissed behind silken smiles in the inner palace— As even a father’s love could be twisted by deceit— ⸻ When the phoenix returns to her nest—she will never again let anyone trample her. The will of the heavens may be written in ink… But Xianlan will rewrite fate in the blood of her enemies.

Crimson-haired, ancient, and terrifyingly beautiful, the renowned Vampire Empress had been sealed away for hundreds of years. The one to set her was Veri, a high school boy filled with delusions. Caught in the aftermath of her awakening, Veri is dragged into a hidden world of bloodlines, magic, and secret organizations where ancient powers stir and his once-ordinary life begins to unravel. In the wake of it all, the countdown for the end of the world begins.

Betrayed by the Emperor. Poisoned by the concubine she once saved. Forgotten by the palace she served. Zhao Lianhua died quietly, an Empress with no power, no allies, and no love. Her name was erased before the tea even cooled. But the heavens are not merciful. She wakes in her younger body, six months before her marriage to the Crown Prince. This time, she will not play the perfect Empress. This time, she will not be loyal, obedient, or silent. With every memory of her death intact, Lianhua begins to spin her web: • The court officials who mocked her, she will use them. • The women who schemed against her, she will ruin them. • And the man who smiled as she died, she will destroy his throne. In a palace where power is everything and kindness is weakness, the Empress has returned. And this time, she’s here to win.

Falling for his warm touch despite his usual coldness, she loved him only to be disappointed and betrayed in the end. When love turns to darkness, it festers to be poisonous and consumes the soul.

Not on their wedding day. And not even at the birth of their only child. Emperor Ferdinand, someone Arabella loved so much, killed their son. She became a villainess and vowed revenge for her beloved child. For a decade, she used everything she could to make Ferdinand pay. Until finally… he fell to ruin! With her revenge complete, Arabella's life soon ended with her dead husband in her arms. But fate wasn’t done playing with her. All of a sudden, she was back two decades ago right after their wedding. Was it a curse or a blessing? It didn’t matter. Because there is only one thing she needed to do. “I will ruin you in this lifetime too!” This was her hateful promise to herself upon realizing she was reborn. But in her second life, Arabella was unexpectedly bestowed a gift to uncover the truth. Who was wrong and who was right? Only time will tell.

A man rejected by the will of the world he grew up in for all of his life, and a genius with infinite potential who fell as a result of making a risky bet. Under the machinations of the deceased Heavenly Emperor, Huang Xian, two unfortunate souls from entirely different worlds got saved and fused together into a new whole, adopting the identity of the latter–Theodore Winter, the heir to one of the Supreme Pillars of the Heavenly Court. As an eon-spanning competition to decide the next generation of Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress began, it brought with it a game of wits, power and plots that would shake the Heavenly Court to its core. Reincarnators, Transmigrators and Regressors were barely qualified to chase after the unprecedented monsters that had been brought into being for the express purpose of rising above the rest.

With a saint-like image and the heart of a devil, Theodore Winter entered the fray. Unbeknownst to all, other than returning triumphantly, he was entrusted with another task: To kill Huang Xian’s murderer–his wife, the Heavenly Empress! ------------------------- Read advance chapters (by paying for my meals) on Patreon: • https://www.patreon.com/sh1ro My novel series "Reincarnation Cycle's Unfortunate Bug" on Amazon: • https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CYHGRR8M/ Discord Server (currently under construction): • https://discord.gg/NdAjjmXSDh ------------------------- Hi there, this is Shiro / the author. Just one little cautionary warning here: Due to being set in an entirely alternate world from ours, while some terms and concepts might seem familiar at first glance, many in actuality are not. In canon, the World's Will of a world exactly like our own 'got inspired' by memories that it secretly glimpsed from the Heavenly Emperor, thereby creating extremely loosely related concepts in its own universe. So never expect anything to work in the same way as something that you are already familiar with, because chances are very high that it won't be the same at all.

Once upon a time-travel leap, Mu Caiwei, the gold-medal bodyguard, turned into a poor peasant girl, Mu Caiwei, who starved to death. With nothing to their name, and an empty rice vat, facing a skinny, malnourished mother and a bunch of hungry younger siblings, Mu Caiwei rolled up her sleeves and shouted, "Sister's going to get rich!" Although she had followed a proud and aloof path in her past life, times were now different. At the small stall, Mu Caiwei donned an apron, zealously crying out, "Fried skewers, fried skewers, all kinds of fried skewers…” In the fabric store, Mu Caiwei expertly worked the abacus, "This Q version of damask should be sold for fifty taels of silver a piece…” …… Soon, the people of the Great Jin Nation knew that the richest person in the Great Jin was not only a stunning, young girl, but also a generous and philanthropic individual! Mu Caiwei couldn't dream that she received a miracle — a magical space, by simply carrying out a few random acts of charity! She also received an extremely “embarrassing” — predestined marriage! In a nutshell: The stunning transition from poverty-stricken peasant girl to Empress! I'm not good with summaries, so please move on to the main text.

"A knife to the belly of your wife as soon as you return from war, other men start by saying, honey i am home. They also don't bring home unwanted canaries as presents for their wives."

I can also accept you, just wrap a ribbon around your bare chest."

The cynical believe some are just born broken beings who could maim and murder without conscience. They were all wrong. I wasn't an accident, a victim of circumstance, or a punishment from the gods. Fools rationalized and tried to find deep meaning where there was none. The truth was, I simply made a choice.

In his past life, everyone was jealous of Lu Ye, the Nine-Lives Celestial Lord. Not just because he had nine lives, but also because eight of the most beautiful and powerful women in the world were by his side. But no one could have guessed—when Lu Ye was just one step away from becoming a Heavenly Dao Saint—all eight of them turned on him at once and stabbed him in the back. The Nine Heavens Sword Maiden shouted, “I’m the master of the Nine Heavens Sword! But because of you, everyone thought I was just your sword servant. Lu Ye, you deserve to die!” The Red Lotus Fairy said, “Senior Brother, don’t blame me. If not for you, I would’ve become an immortal couple with someone else. I never wanted to be a Saint—I just wanted to be with the one I truly loved.” The Vermilion Bird Demon Empress laughed coldly. “Lu Ye, when you were killing demons, did you forget I’m a demon too? You said you were protecting me, but the one who hurt me the most… was you!” --- When time turns back, and the eight empresses return to the past with all their memories, Lu Ye wakes up with a bitter smile. This time, he finally understands—forcing someone to stay never brings real love. So now, he’s done trying to control fate. He won’t chase after them again. He won’t force anything. This time, Lu Ye decides to step back… and watch how these proud, powerful women live their lives without him. And who knows—maybe this time, the story will change.

I was a dying physicist. Now I’m a condemned concubine on a dead moon—with a broken body, a forgotten name, and a system whispering in my mind. When I opened my eyes, I was no longer on Earth. I had been reborn in the Celestial Empire, a realm of immortal dynasties, cultivation across star systems, and spirit beasts bound to warships. My new identity? Lady Shen—a discarded imperial consort accused of poisoning the Emperor and left to rot in exile. But fate has other plans. Bound to the Heavenly Mandate System, I’ve been chosen as a "host" in a divine protocol that merges ancient cultivation with lost galactic technologies. Quests. Upgrades. Secrets of a long-erased dynasty. To survive, I must rise—starting from zero, hunted by assassins, surrounded by political vipers, and entangled with a dangerous, cursed Emperor who seems to remember me from a life I never lived. This isn't just about clearing my name. This is war—for my soul, my freedom, and the stars themselves. I died once. I won’t die again. If I must ascend alone, so be it. If I must become Empress, then let the universe kneel.

They say the greatest discovery is born out of passion, and that was the spark of her journey. Linda Song, a modern day assistant at an elite auction house, stumbled upon an unexpected page in the inventory ledger, a page she had no recollection of ever seeing or creating. It described a relic renowned for its time-traveling ability in the past. Driven by curiosity to decipher if such a relic truly existed, and what secrets it holds if it does, she makes her way into the store-keep and to her greatest surprise, there it stood...just as it was described in the ledger. Bewildered by its beauty, and anxious to discover whether the relic truly held such abilities, or was it just another fallacy put together to attract the highest bidder, she sought to examine it. Linda carries the small stone under the sun rays filtering through the storeroom window to get a better view. Suddenly, it pulsed and a blue fluorescent light erupted from the relic, engulfing Linda. And in an instant, the modern world surrounding her vanished. She was no longer Linda Song but a maid within the Inner Palace of a rising dynasty, caught between ambitious concubines and a simmering political conspiracy. What mystery lies behind the stone and her sudden transmigration? Will she survive this new world she has come to know, and will her modern knowledge prove valuable or become her downfall? Why not embark on this journey with her... ************************** DISCLAIMER This work is purely fiction, all characters, setting and events are ideas of the author. if anything in it resembles something you know of, then it's purely coincidence. this is a multiple side character book with the main lead growing and developing subtly. if you are lover of slow burn fantasy books, hook in...you will love this .
