Betrayed and brutally tortured to death by the Emperor, the Crown Prince, a powerful general, and the principal graduate in her past life, Rosalind Ashcroft is reborn on the eve of the imperial selection. She allies with head eunuch Lucian Thorne after discovering his fake identity. One by one, she strikes down her enemies: she destroys the new principal graduate Benedict Fairfax, schemes to overthrow the Crown Prince, and turns the Emperor and the general against each other. As they bond through blood and fire, Lucian is revealed to be a former royal. Together, they tear the palace apart, send their foes to hell, and seize the ultimate throne.
