She Calls Off the Wedding, Then Marries His Prince and Takes the World

The day she drew her last breath in the Cold Palace, she heard the music celebrating her sworn enemy of a half-sister’s coronation as empress.

When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to three years earlier, once more the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, betrothed and used as a pawn.

Not one person who had deceived, betrayed, or ruined her family in her past life would escape this time!

She shed her virtuous disguise, secretly laid her plans, and seized her enemies by their most vulnerable points.

But she unwittingly drew the attention of the powerful, cold-hearted Prince Jing, the emperor’s uncle:

He commanded the armies of the realm. He was the uncle of her husband in her previous life, and the sharpest sword of the dynasty.

She thought their alliance was purely for mutual benefit, but time and again, he made exceptions to protect her:

“Shen Weixi, if you want revenge, I’ll hand you the blade. If you want the realm, I’ll seize it for you.”

The day she broke off her engagement and turned to leave, he clasped her hand before the court:

“You don’t have to be anyone’s pawn. From today on, you make the moves, and I’ll hold the board steady for you.”

✨ A formidable duo | Reborn for revenge | Sweet and angsty | A struggle for power

Her rise from abandoned consort in the Cold Palace to a reigning empress beside the emperor begins now...

“This time, I’ll make everyone who wronged me kneel and watch as I rule the realm.”
