My Husband Lies Beside Me, While the Regent’s Baby Grows in My Belly

[Traditional Historical Romance, Household Intrigue, Rebirth, Power Struggles, and a New Husband]

In her previous life, she was the wife of a powerful minister. She pleaded for her husband and took blows for his family, only to see her entire clan executed while her husband rose to power. Only as she lay dying did she learn the truth: it had all been a scheme by the emperor and her treacherous husband.

Reborn, she plots every move carefully, climbs by leveraging others’ power, and turns the tides with a flick of her hand.

She will lift the Shen family out of crisis and make the common people trust her, the court officials fear her, and even the emperor think twice before underestimating her.

This time, no one will scheme against her!

The concubines in the inner household think they can run wild? She lays down a strict set of household rules and has them beaten without mercy.

The Shen family’s second branch turns on her? She gives them the perfect script and lets them bring about their own downfall.

And the regent, whose power holds sway over the entire court, keeps showing up uninvited in the dead of night.

“Since you’ve borrowed my strength, Madam, why not… take a new husband?”
