夜色如墨，冷月悬空，幽深的宫殿庭院里只剩下几盏孤零零的灯笼，惨白的灯光勉强驱散着黑暗，却无法照亮这诡异的静谧。

叶倾 employs her sharp gaze to scrutinize the scene before her. The grand hall was once the center of power and splendor, now however, it was no different from a deserted ghost town. The luxurious furnishings lay in disarray, the soft curtains were torn, and the once vibrant palace was now covered in a layer of dust, as if it had been abandoned for centuries.

This was the scene she woke up to after rebirth, the grand hall of the Emperor's Palace in the Eastern Realm. She had always been the most favored and powerful among the nine heavens and ten earths, with an unparalleled status in the mortal world. Yet, in her previous life, she had been too reckless, too self-confident, and had ended up falling into a trap set by her own closest confidants. It was a miserable end that left her wishing she could kick herself to death.

But now, everything was different. She was reborn, and this time, she would not let history repeat itself.
