Reborn and Returned, Your Majesty, Stay Away from Me

Qi Chuyao naively believed that if she helped Xiao Jingyuan claim the title of prince, he would give her the sincere love she longed for. She never imagined that his heart had never belonged to her.

Only after her country fell and her mother and elder brother died because of her did she finally wake up. What good was love, when it meant nothing in the face of power?

Reborn into a second life, she would hold tightly to the power in her hands. Only by reaching the pinnacle of power could she protect the people she wanted to keep safe.
