Reborn as Consort Hua: The Phoenix Returns

Nian Shi, once Consort Hua, died with regrets in her previous life. Fate played a cruel joke on her, and she unexpectedly was reborn. When she awoke, she realized she had wrongly blamed Consort Duan, and that there was more to her child's death than she knew. She has mixed feelings about the Emperor: she resents him for using her affections to bring down the Nian family, yet cannot forget the man she truly loved in her youth. In her previous life, her foolishness made her many enemies. When she fell from power, everyone turned against her, dragging her brother and nephew down with her. This time, she is determined to change and not repeat her mistakes. She will urge her brother to keep a low profile, and learn to temper her own sharpness. She knows that protecting the Nian clan requires the Emperor's favor, but she cannot act as arrogantly and ostentatiously as before. Amid the treacherous intrigues of the imperial harem, Consort Hua Nian begins her path to a triumphant comeback after being reborn.
