The Reincarnated Empress

Xu Empire

On a stormy night...

"As per orders from the Emperor, current Empress Feng Qiang Hua, is charged with treason for killing the crown prince and for poisoning Imperial Concubine Zhen."

How did it end up like this...?

I was once a Military Doctor serving the army. I was the only child of a General serving the army. My mother died giving birth to me so my father trained me to become strong but I had my own interest and curiosity. I studied different fields be it fashion, technology, cooking, crafting and physical training but I had always been dedicated to medicine be it western or eastern medical practices.

I then decided to join the army. I suffered the hardships of the military be it in the battlefield or in training. I went through training for self defense and learned how to use a gun, practiced physical combat with my friends. I found a family in the military be it the soldiers or the medical team.

But.. I never thought that a terrorist bombing would end my life. It was a difficult mission Country N was infiltrated by terrorist and had a hold on the government. The mission was impossible, sacrifices were made... including my father.

"Take the hostages and get out of the building! Now!"

"Roger!"

I was almost out of the building when the building started to fall apart and the collapsed floor from above devoured me.

I woke up in this world as the General's first wife's daughter. The system here was polygamy starting from the Emperor to Officials. Men who only marry one wife are rare. The people in this world value the strong and belittle the weak. They only follow the richest and strongest among others.

Supernatural powers existed in this world. Many people cultivate to become warriors or healers but only to those who has a spiritual root to a certain element.

I was born at the time when the current emperor was crowned and the sky flamed like fire showing an image of a phoenix. The priests in the mountains came to the Empire predicting my fate as the future empress. The emperor was so happy he immediately tied my fate to the crown prince thinking I possessed the element of fire.

As a girl from a different time and era I showed signs being a genius and people praised me for having the element of fire. I thought living in this time I could experience the love and comfort of a family.

But I was wrong...

Concubines plotting schemes towards another

Siblings fighting each other for favor

Officials killing each other for power

It was all to much but I survived and married the crown prince when I was 16. I entered the palace as a pawn for the empire's triumph. I assisted the Emperor, my husband, Xu Tianfeng, in governing the imperial harem and adivising him with strategies to help the country.

For this he favored me and gave me gifts until the court advised him of taking in concubines.

There were plenty of candidates and the Empress Dowager was in charge of the entire process, at that time I was already pregnant with my son.

As soon as there were concubines in the palace the fighting and scheming began. Many of them were eyeing my position, especially Imperial Concubine Zhen, the daughter of the Prime Minister. Although I don't know which daughter she is, she was the only two-faced bitch I knew.

She pretended to be innocent and sick making the Emperor dote on her always. She would always use the other concubines to scheme against me and once it was done she'd elimante the people involve and made it look like I was the one scheming against the concubines.

At the birth of my son, she began to scheme drastic measures for her child to be the heir. She actually poisoned my son and framed me for killing it while he was sleeping.

"Your majesty! I would never kill my own son! I'm innocent!"

I tried so hard to plea for forgiveness in the end...

"Your Highness! Imperial Concubine Zhen.. she-she was poisoned while drinking tea, the culprit was Her Highness the Empress' maid!"

I was too shocked that I didn't noticed how he looked at me, filled with hate and disgust.

"Arrest the Empress! Bind her with water chains and give out the order! She will be executed at dawn tomorrow together with her entire family!"

I tried to escape but the chains were to strong for me to break free.

"You can only blame your fate, Your Highness, if it wasn't for your perfect image other people would not scheme against you and kill your child" The mockery of her tone made me want to kill her.

Imperial Concubine Zhen

"You...!"

In the end I was to tired to fight, The Immortals, also known as direct servants from the Gods drained all my power. They were powerful, most powerful than a King.

Most of them would start their own school on teaching gifted mortals to cultivate their powers. I was not enrolled nor was I taught to use my powers. I only knew the basics.

If I knew this day would come I'd...

"Proceed with the execution!"

As I place my head on the guillotine I took one last look at the Emperor, Imperial Concubine Zhen was clinging onto him while crying. He had the look of detestation on me.

"If I could turn back time, I wish to never be a part of your life and I could change my fate the way I want it."

The moment the executioner dropped the blade, a single tear fell from my eyes.
