Chapter 1: The Phoenix Descends Upon the World

  Taisho era, Tenmu, 21st year.

  On a clear and moonlit night, a sudden clap of thunder shook the sky, causing the eaves of the imperial palace to tremble for a few moments, but no rain was seen.

  Qin Tian Jians supervisor hastily rushed to the Qian Kun Hall, and with a thud, knelt before Emperor Tian Wu: "Your Majesty, there is an unusual astronomical phenomenon in the northwest... the Phoenix Star has descended upon the world!"

  The Emperor Tianwus hand holding the teacup trembled slightly: "Northwest..." His gaze followed the half-open window and went out, "Speaking of which, Minger should have returned too."

  ……

  A thunderbolt on a clear day exploded in a mountain valley on the northwest border of Dashun, directly blasting out a female corpse from a mass grave.

  Feng Yu Huan struggled to sit up amidst a pile of corpses, and after her head buzzed with a burst of noise, she finally came to. But as soon as she opened her eyes, the sight of all the dead bodies gave her another fright.

  "Seriously?" She blinked her eyes, moved a head that was propped on her leg away, and looked around at the surroundings again. "Am I really dead or not?"

  She clearly remembered that the helicopter she was sitting in had exploded, and at such an absolute height, there was no chance of survival. As a senior medical officer in the Marine Corps, she remained clear-headed enough to be certain that she had already died in that moment.

  Thats right, Ive died and come back to life.

  She stood up in the pile of dead bodies, moved her shoulders and legs, and in the next instant, a strange memory suddenly flooded into her mind - Feng Yuexian, 12 years old, the eldest daughter of Feng Jin, the Left Prime Minister of the Dashun Dynasty. Three years ago, her maternal grandparents were convicted and exiled to a remote state, fearing that they would be implicated, her father joined forces with her grandmother to demote her mother Yao Shi from the main hall, and then promoted the concubine Shen Shi in the mansion.

  But thats not all, next thing you know, some fortune-telling bastard pops out of nowhere and points at Feng Yu Heng saying: "This girl has a calamity in her fate, if she continues to stay in the manor, sooner or later shell bring about the downfall of the Feng Manor."

  So, with a wave of her old hand, the grandmother sent Feng Yuexiang, Yao Shi, and their three-year-old brother Feng Zirui to a remote mountain village in the northwest, to fend for themselves.

  "Im exhausted." Just like replaying a movie, Feng Yu Heng reviewed the original owners life and only then had to accept a reality: "Ive transmigrated!"

  Different eras, different ages, different backgrounds, and different appearances, but only one name remains the same.

  "Dont worry!" She patted her right hand with her left, consoling him: "I understand all your grievances. Since Im here, I wont let those who bullied you get away easily. The Feng Manor will settle this account for you!"

  Suddenly a soft sigh echoed in her mind, then a girls voice floated up, just one sentence: "Thank you." Her nerves trembled slightly, as if something was slowly drifting away.

  Feng Yus lips curled up in a faint smile, it seemed that the original owner of this body had died with great reluctance. Only after hearing her promise did she finally leave. However... having such a father and such a family as so-called relatives, shouldnt one hate them?

  She has always been a person who values her promises highly, and since she has occupied someone elses body, this grudge will naturally be avenged.

  Feng Yu Huan patted the coarse cloth clothes, took a few dead people as a stepping stone and climbed out of the chaotic tomb. Before he could observe the terrain, he heard a burst of voices coming over.

  "That girl can be sold to the Zuihuah Lou in Fucheng for at least 50 taels of silver. If we can make this deal, not only will we have enough for Dog Was wedding, but I can also take two more concubines."

  "You think youre so great! If you dare to bully the weak, Ill fight with you and take this matter all the way to court!"

  "Alright, alright! I was just casually saying it, why are you making such a fuss, woman!"

  Feng Yus eyebrows furrowed, and the memories of her past life surged up again - her mother was seriously ill, she went to the nearby mountain to pick herbs, but was suddenly knocked unconscious. Before fainting, she glanced back at the man holding a stick, who hadnt had time to put it down yet - it was Wang Shugeng, a man from the Wang family in the east of the village.

  Behind her, in the direction of eight oclock, Feng Yus keen senses accurately detected the location. As the sound drew closer and closer, she crouched down, quickly scanned her surroundings, locked onto a spot with dense foliage on the mountain seam, and darted inside...
