Xinle

For thirteen years, Mo-Xian hunted a ghost: the Enigma Emperor, a ruler whose existence was scrubbed from the annals of time, leaving only a trail of violent legends. But when she finally breached his tomb, she didn't find the answers she sought. Instead, she found a girl. Buried in a nameless side-chamber, wrapped in the rough, cheap cloth of a commoner, lay a concubine who shared Mo-Xian’s name. A single drop of blood fell from Mo-Xian's finger onto the ancient skull. In that heartbeat, the tomb dissolved, and the silence of the grave was replaced by the screams of the living. Mo-Xian awakens in the Great Yan Dynasty, seventeen years before the tomb is sealed. She is now the "Ugly" Eldest Miss of the Tang Manor, a girl known for her aggressive temper and ruined face. But Mo-Xian carries a burden heavier than her new body: the memories of how this girl died. She knows the exact date her husband, Prince Zhao Zhen Qi, will poison her. She knows the exact moment her "lucky" sister, Ruo-Lan, will slide a sword through her heart. She knows that in seventeen years, she is destined to become the skeleton in the coarse silk. To survive, Mo-Xian must use the tools of the future to dismantle the traps of the past. Using her knowledge, she begins to peel away her "ugly" reputation. But the deeper she digs into the court’s secrets, the more she realizes that history is a lie. While she maneuvers to escape the lethal embrace of Zhao Zhen Qi, a darker shadow looms. The man destined to become the Enigma Emperor—the "monster" of her textbooks—is watching her. He is a riddle she cannot solve, a man who seems to move through the palace like a ghost from her own future. Is he the one who wrote her into that nameless grave? Or is he the only one who can help her burn the book of fate entirely? In a world where every smile hides a blade and every favor is a debt, Mo-Xian isn't just digging for history anymore. She is fighting to ensure she doesn't become a part of it.
