[Divided into two parts, broadly covering the struggle for supremacy amid chaos, followed by nation-building and palace intrigue. There’s no detailed outline, and the author is open to suggestions, so feel free to interact! This is not a power fantasy! Lots of verbal sparring! First comes character growth, then nation-building, and finally palace intrigue.]
She is reborn in the year she was five.
It seems her accession to the throne happened a long time ago.
Someone prophesied that she would not live to see her twenty-fifth birthday. With several factions involved, she died a miserable death at the hands of an enemy prince.
Now that she has another chance, should she focus on revenge, or does she have something else to do?
With the twelve secret guards her father left her,
she keeps her abilities hidden, seizes territory, and gradually dismantles her enemies’ power.
She builds infrastructure and businesses, adapting to local conditions to improve people’s lives.
She recruits talent and appoints capable officials, reorganizing the court.
A political marriage? Taking a concubine? After spending day and night together, will she find a sincere heart, or nothing but endless schemes?
Wuhu! Here I go again!
