[Rebirth + Revenge + Chaste male lead, non-virgin female lead + Harem and household intrigue + Love and hate + Life in the harem]
Chu Yinhe, a love-struck Noble Consort, is reborn.
In her previous life, she admired Xie Chongguang and willingly became his pawn, doing his bidding and navigating the treacherous palace intrigues. She plotted for him at every turn and cleared every obstacle, helping him rise from marquis to regent, all because he once promised to make her empress.
She never imagined that after giving him her whole heart, she would be repaid with a trap Xie Chongguang had carefully laid. The man she loved schemed against her at every turn and pushed her into an abyss from which there was no escape. Only when the old emperor sentenced her to death did she finally see the truth.
Reborn, she finds Xie Chongguang still trying to use honeyed words to get her to work for him. He seems tender and affectionate, but beneath the facade lies a heart full of ambition.
She can’t help laughing at herself. In her previous life, she had cherished what he’d cast aside like worthless trash.
So she plays along, keeping herself between two men. One misstep could put her in danger at every turn, surrounded by deadly threats.
What? Someone else wants to court her? Keep the heir, get rid of the father, scheme against the consorts? Sorry, this palace has things to do!
Love is nothing but a useless burden to her.
This time, she won’t make the same mistake again. After all, no one is as dependable as herself.
