Synopsis

She crawled back from hell, wielding a divine artifact, and vowed to burn this man-eating palace and empire to the ground!

Lin Wan’s story begins in hell. She enters the palace through the imperial selection, only to be framed and sent to the Cold Palace to await death. At death’s door, she awakens a strange ability: [Sense Malice]. No scheme or conspiracy aimed at her can escape her notice.

After securing a foothold in the Cold Palace, she makes her first move, turning the tables by using the emperor to break out of her predicament and rising step by step. She battles the favored consorts, cuts down their allies, and uses a witchcraft scandal to destroy her enemies. At last, she becomes the Consort Chen, takes control of the Chi Long Order, and reigns over the imperial harem.

But the pinnacle of power is also the heart of the maelstrom. The emperor dies suddenly, leaving behind a dying accusation that exposes a shocking conspiracy. Carrying a bloodstained secret edict and the Chi Long Order, she deposes the Empress Dowager and subdues the court. With an iron fist, she is honored as the Regent Consort Chen, enthrones the young emperor, and takes control of the empire.

Looking for Qing Dynasty Palace-Intrigue Novels with a Transmigrated or Reborn Female Lead

I'm looking for books similar to The Tsundere Consort Falls for the Leader of the Red Flower Society. This is a Qing-dynasty time-travel novel. The protagonist has a little bit of supernatural power: she can revive people on the brink of death and bring all things back to life. She also transmigrates into Consort Wan, one of Emperor Qianlong's consorts. She receives little favor at first, but later makes a strong play to win his affections.
