[Reborn + No Reconciliation After the Breakup + Palace and Household Intrigue]
Xiao Nan'an's previous life was far too miserable. She yearned for power, was used by others, and ultimately became a political sacrifice, sent abroad to marry for the sake of peace.
But who says that becoming a princess sent away for a political marriage means she can't turn her life around?
Later, she marched against her homeland with her sword pointed at it, bringing her army to its gates. She killed many people: members of the imperial clan who had bullied her as a child, and relatives who had mistreated her. Blood stained the Hall of Heavenly Harmony, and she drove the emperor to hang himself. The Northern Li Xiao imperial clan was almost completely wiped out by her.
Only, in this life, she still owed him an apology...
When she opened her eyes again, she was back before their first meeting at age seven. This time, she owed him nothing, and their past would not continue.
She would master both medicine and martial arts. She refused to sit alone in her chambers, pining away. Why shouldn't a woman be able to contend for the realm? If others could sit on the throne, so could she.
The emperor is cruel? The crown prince is weak? The Prince of Peace is a bleeding heart? No problem. If they're unworthy of their positions, then she'll replace them.
