[Reborn + strong female lead + powerful heroine + palace intrigue]
Once, I was the emperor’s favored consort, born into a powerful family and blessed with both beauty and intelligence. I had won the emperor’s affection. But as my family’s influence grew, suspicion took root in the emperor’s heart and spread like weeds.
At last, one day, his suspicions turned to action. A plot involving a poisoned cup made it all too easy to kill me in my chambers. Using my death as an excuse, the emperor announced that a grand funeral would be held. In secret, however, he ordered my family members summoned back to the capital from the frontier, intending to wipe them all out. My father and brothers returned, unaware of what awaited them, and fell into the emperor’s trap. They were falsely accused of rebellion, and my family’s power crumbled overnight.
But fate had other plans. I was given the chance to be reborn, returning to a few years earlier. This time, I will no longer be a pampered consort. I will become an empress who truly controls her own destiny…
