He remarried after his mother's death, seized power over the world, and slept on the emperor�

Jiang Bingning was stunned when she came out of the post station.

One second she was clearly about to be killed by the assassins who broke into the general's mansion, but the next second she opened her eyes and was alive again.

She was reborn? And reborn to the day when she was patrolling the border with her father, her fate completely rewritten?

"Father, I want to sit with you," Jiang Yuerong's sweet voice rang out, the kind of thing her father loved most.

Jiang Bingning stared blankly at her younger sister.

Not far away, Jiang Chengxuan, dressed in a black outfit, was reining in his horse.

The younger sister was tugging at her father's clothes, pleading desperately.

Jiang Bingning's mind went blank.

My sister is back too?

"Nonsense!"

Father Jiang Chengxuan frowned and scolded, but there wasn't much anger in his voice.

"Yuerong, be good. You stay with your mother. Father's place is full of military documents, it's very boring."

"No, no! Your daughter wants to stay with Daddy! It's safer with Daddy!"

Safety?

Jiang Bingning's fingertips instantly turned icy cold.

In their previous life, it was right here that they were ambushed by the enemy state of Beidi.

At that time, my father and mother were having a cold war because of their favoritism towards their concubines, and they were traveling in separate carriages.

The father, accompanied by his eldest and second eldest brothers, and a troop of personal guards, marched ahead.

Her mother followed behind with her, her sister, and their family members and servants.

When the attack occurred, the father made a decisive decision and ordered his men to escort his carriage toward the capital to break through the encirclement.

The mother's carriage was used as a pawn to attract the attention of the Northern Di cavalry.

In her past life, Jiang Yuerong cried and begged to stay with her gentle mother, refusing to go to her father's "dull" carriage.

She chose to follow her father.

That night, flames soared into the sky, and shouts of battle tore through the entire night.

She followed her father's carriage, narrowly escaping death, and finally returned to the capital.

Her mother and sister were abducted by the Northern Di people and have not been heard from since.

Later, the imperial court negotiated peace.

Her father was appointed as an envoy to the Northern Barbarians, and Jiang Bingning and her two elder brothers went with him.

Who would have thought that they would stay in an enemy country for eight years!

She practiced martial arts with all her might, and after returning to China, she rose from an unknown nobody to the position of a national general.

Clashing swords and galloping horses, a scene of bloodshed and carnage.

At the age of twenty-six, she personally led a large army and conquered the capital of the Northern Di.

Covered in blood and carrying a sword, she found her sister, who had been imprisoned for many years, in the palace of the Northern Di.

My sister was emaciated, her eyes were numb, like a flower crushed in the mud.

She saw her, but her eyes held no joy, only the venomous fire of jealousy.

Why are you only arriving now?

"Are you deliberately trying to make a fool of me?"

"Jiang Bingning, you stole everything from me! And now you're pretending to pity me?!"

She brought her sister back to the capital and gave her the best care.

But instead of her sister's gratitude, she received a dagger piercing her heart from behind.

Jiang Yuerong hugged her, laughing maniacally and crying desperately.

"Sister, you have everything, but I have nothing... Why?!"

"If I'm not having a good time, you won't be either!"

My sister is dead.

She was seriously injured.

Not long after, she was hacked to death by a group of assassins in her own general's mansion.

On her deathbed, she only found it laughable.

Throughout her life, she brought unparalleled glory to the Jiang family, protected her father's official position, and safeguarded her brother's future.

In the end, she had nothing.

They couldn't even save their own lives.

……

"Bing Ning! Bing Ning! What are you spacing out for!"

Her mother, Liu,’s anxious voice pulled her out of her bloody memories.

Jiang Bingning snapped out of her daze and met Liu's worried eyes.

She went to see Jiang Yuerong again.

Although her eyes were still filled with tears, a deep glint of calculated determination lurked in them.

That's not the look a fourteen-year-old girl should have.

Jiang Bingning's heart sank completely.

Her dear sister did indeed return.

In my previous life, following my father was my only way to survive.

Following my mother is a dead end.

Therefore, in this life, Jiang Yuerong is determined to seize that path to survival at all costs.

Did she think that by taking away her father, she could take away that immense wealth and a stable life?

That's ridiculously naive.

If she hadn't become a national heroine, would her father have even given her a second glance?

If it weren't for the fact that she fought so hard for the glorious title of Duke of Zhenguo with her scars all over her body, Jiang Chengxuan would have discarded her like trash long ago!

"Father, please grant your daughter's request!" Jiang Yuerong continued to plead and cry.

Jiang Chengxuan's face was full of heartache. He glanced at the carriage behind him, where his two sons were still sitting.

"Okay, okay, come on up!"

Jiang Chengxuan finally relented.

He has no bottom line when it comes to his sister.

Jiang Yuerong glanced at Jiang Bingning provocatively.

That glance was filled with smugness and pride.

Jiang Chengxuan turned to look at Jiang Bingning with displeasure: "Your sister is sitting here. Go to your mother's carriage!"

Jiang Bingning subconsciously asked, "What about me?"

Jiang Chengxuan's face also darkened, and his tone was full of reprimand.

"Jiang Bingning! What are you throwing a tantrum about now! Your sister is still young. As the eldest sister, can't you be a little more accommodating to her? Can't you go to your mother's car?!"

In her father's eyes, everything she did was wrong and she was just making trouble.

The eldest and second eldest brothers also leaned out of the car window, their faces showing expressions of anticipation.

The eldest brother, Jiang Siyuan, said, "Don't you know how to give way to Yue Rong? What kind of older sister are you?"

The second elder brother, Jiang Luwei, also showed an angry expression: "What? You won't listen to your elder brother? Who are you trying to impress with that sullen face all day long?!"

The eldest and second eldest brothers are not Jiang Bingning's biological brothers, but rather the children of Jiang Chengxuan's deceased wife. They have never liked this silent and stubborn younger sister.

In her previous life, Jiang Bingning knelt at the gate of a great scholar for three days and three nights before the scholar accepted her elder brother. Later, her elder brother passed the imperial examination with flying colors, but said that she had disgraced the Jiang family.

When her second brother was oppressed by his superior, she transferred him to her own command. Whenever there was a battle, she would give him the best place to gain merit, but he said that she wanted to use the battle to kill him.

Jiang Bingning's heart had long been broken by these two ungrateful people.

She ignored them, her gaze passing over her father and landing on Jiang Yuerong, whose face was filled with astonishment.

She spoke slowly, her voice not loud, but clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"My sister wants to go with Father, fine, but this car can only seat three people. What about me?"

Jiang Yuerong's smile froze.

Jiang Chengxuan's face darkened as well: "Go sit with your mother! If you're not going to sit, then stay here and chatter! Don't make me say it twice!"

In his view, his eldest daughter must be jealous of his younger daughter's favoritism and was deliberately sulking here.

Jiang Bingning's gaze lingered on Jiang Chengxuan's face for only a moment. She was all too familiar with his angry expression; it was exactly the same as when he wanted her to marry a minister older than him as his second wife before her martial arts exam results came out in her previous life.

Jiang Bingning turned around without arguing and grasped her mother's cold fingertips.

"Mother, your daughter is with you."

She stopped looking at anyone, grabbed Liu's hand, and turned to walk towards the simple family carriage.

Jiang Chengxuan watched his eldest daughter's retreating figure, never expecting her to ignore him.

"That ungrateful wretch! Just like her ill-mannered mother!"

He roared and lashed out with his whip.

"Let's go!"

The convoy started again.

Sitting next to her mother, feeling the carriage start to sway again, Jiang Bingning slowly closed her eyes.

Jiang Yuerong, I'm giving you my way out.

What you perceive as the path to survival is actually hell.

If you cannot create value for Jiang Chengxuan's promotion and wealth, what awaits you is an even greater crisis than in your previous life!

The dead end I've chosen, I will personally flatten it and turn it into a road to heaven.

For me, and for my mother.
