Synopsis
Zhaozhao, a true heiress betrayed by her biological family and exiled to a brutal city, awakens her true identity as King Yan of the underworld upon her death. Armed with the Book of Life and Death, she now seeks to collect evil souls and exact revenge on those who discarded her. This novel reads like a classic 'face-slapping' revenge tale infused with supernatural elements and high-fantasy tropes. It is perfect for readers who crave cathartic regret arcs and an overpowered female lead; however, those looking for a realistic historical drama should skip it. The pacing is brisk, transitioning rapidly from a tragic prologue to a period of divine empowerment. The standout quality is the stark contrast between the protagonist's initial suffering and her current cold, authoritative nature as she navigates the politics of the nobility and the underworld.

Editorial Review
This historical fantasy leans heavily into the popular 'true and fake daughter' trope, providing a strong emotional hook through the protagonist's betrayal. The inclusion of the underworld mythology adds a refreshing layer of agency to the lead character, moving her beyond a mere victim of circumstance. However, the narrative currently relies on familiar archetypes, and with only 99 chapters in an ongoing status, there is a risk that the plot may become repetitive once the initial revenge is satisfied. Additionally, the low visibility of the work suggests it has yet to find a wide audience, which may reflect its adherence to very specific genre clichés. Overall, it is a competent execution of the revenge subgenre that delivers exactly what its target demographic expects without attempting to reinvent the wheel.
