This is a really fine novel - I just wish it was updated once again. The author has created a strong, independent woman seeking revenge on those who caused her to lose her first life. But she still cares for her family and friends, still builds her skills and never forgets the family and Master of her first life. Later in the novel, the FL's scenes intersperse with those of the four men that she has significantly interacted with and the author winds them all up into a ball at the end. Very satisfying. Even the "evil" characters have reasons for why they are the way they are.

A great rebirth story with roots in the military, the nobility and banking houses of ancient a China. Heroine Jun Jiuling has to fight her way though petty jealousies and family politics in order to get revenge for her father’s death - and her own. Smart, poised Jiuling proves that revenge can be smart AND bloody. Wish this novel was still updating!

Very satisfying - calm yet proud.
