After the Princess Discarded Him, He Went Dark

In her past life, Princess Xiao Jinning fell in love with Shen Ting at first sight and begged the Emperor for a marriage alliance. On their wedding day, before they could complete the ceremony, Shen Ting led his army to the Northern Frontier. After three years of war, he returned to the capital, surrendered his official command on the surface, but secretly gathered ten thousand private soldiers to rebel and massacre the entire Xiao family. On her deathbed, Xiao Jinning saw Shen Xiao and Shen Ting conspiring together, filling her with hatred. Reborn, despite hating Shen Ting with every fiber of her being, she dared not act rashly because she did not know the power Shen Ting had infiltrated into the court. Following Shen Ting's request, Xiao Jinning raised Shen Xiao under her own roof, aiming to train him into a blade solely for her own use.
