This Princess Has Gone on a Rampage! The Scheming Chancellor Bows to Her

[Reborn + born into the womb + evenly matched rivals + political intrigue + love of country and family]

A brilliant, calculating chancellor × a clear-eyed, resilient princess

By chance, Shen Jingxi was born into the body of Princess Anning in a fictional dynasty. But when her kingdom fell and she died, she discovered that the rebel leader was her husband from her previous life.

Reborn at seventeen, she tears away the facade of peace and changes her title to Princess Jing'an. With an iron hand, she purges the court and supports her young brother as he takes the throne, vowing to unmask the real culprit behind the kingdom's downfall: the remnants of the previous dynasty.

Yet every clue points to Chancellor Zhu Youcheng, the most powerful man at court and her most dangerous ally.

He helps her reform corrupt policies and turn the tide, and even puts himself in harm's way to protect her.

As suspicion and affection intertwine on the razor's edge of political intrigue, she holds evidence that he has “colluded with the enemy” and presses a dagger to his heart. “Chancellor Zhu, no... Xie Heng, what is it you really want?”

When the rebels once again lay siege to the capital, Xie Heng fights his way to her, drenched in blood. As she binds his wounds, she touches a hidden tattoo on his shoulder, the crest of the former royal family.

As the truth tears everything apart, he grips her bloodstained hand and swears, his words branded like a mark: “If you want to protect this realm, then I will protect it for you.” He kisses away her tears and cuts off a century-old obsession. “The old dreams of the former dynasty... are nothing compared to your smile and a peaceful realm.”

When the game of political intrigue is finally over, only the two of them standing together at the edge of the realm remain, their figures the most moving footnote to this glorious age.
