Thorn Empress in the World of Cultivator

“You could still satisfy your heart’s desires, but don’t you fear karma? Have you never considered what it would be like to be in the position of those you’ve trampled upon, those you’ve cast into despair, and those you've betrayed?” Those words echoed in Tairyn von Mortist’s mind, spoken by a man who had once vowed to protect and love her. They stirred a silent dread in her heart, resonating at a pivotal moment in her life.



Lying in solitude on her bed, the most feared princess of the Mortist Empire—now known as the Thorn Empress—found herself reflecting on the weight of those haunting words. What had she become? A villain, indeed. Scheming, manipulating, and betraying—these dark realities had defined her daily existence.



Her merciless ascent was marked by blood, ambition, and an unyielding pursuit of power. Yet, as she reached what she thought was the pinnacle of her life, an overwhelming sense of loneliness and emptiness washed over her. She stood atop all she had conquered, but instead of triumph, she felt like an orphan, utterly alone, with no one to share her victories.



The people who had once pledged their loyalty now lay buried, their lives extinguished by her hands—victims of her own ruthless ambition. Regret? No, Tairyn knew no such sentiment; she was acutely aware of her life’s imperfections. In that realization, a flicker of anticipation ignited within her. Could it be that humans could only grasp true perfection through companionship?



The moment she accepted this fundamental truth marked not the end, but the beginning of something new. Amid the darkness of death, she was brought by fate to become entwined with a woman on the run, leaving behind a trail of blood yet forging ahead.



Reborn in an entirely new world, Tairyn found herself in the realm of Tribulation Thunder and Dao, where chaos and serenity danced in an eternal clash. As the child of a runaway couple, she felt the stirrings of possibility within her. What awaited her now in this uncharted territory? The anticipation of rewriting her fate sparked a glimmer of hope, whispering promises of redemption and discovery.
