Queen of Shadows: Rise of Ye Qingran

Once hailed as the Empire’s fiercest general, Li Xueyan was a woman who bled for a throne that would never be hers. Her sword carved peace into the empire, but her reward? A golden cage in the emperor’s harem, stripped of honor and freedom. Branded a traitor and cast out to die in exile, she vanished without a grave.



But death could not claim her.



She returns as Ye Qingran, reborn with a forbidden power that feeds on betrayal and sorrow. Beneath her quiet smile lies a storm. Hidden within her soul, the Emotion-Devouring Cultivation awakens—fueled by rage, sorrow, and broken vows. Within a mysterious realm blooming with herbs, spiritual springs, and a long-lost alchemist’s legacy, she builds her army—not of soldiers, but of abandoned concubines, forgotten daughters, and ruined wives.



Together, they are sisters of vengeance. And they will watch the empire burn.



As the court dances with masks and ambition, a new shadow rises. The woman they cast aside will return—not as a concubine, not as a general—but as a Queen of Shadows, unbound and unstoppable.
