Phoenix Rising: Blade in Hand, Scheming for the Realm

Revenge after being reborn + awakening and comeback + tearing up the script + strong female lead + power struggles, decisive and ruthless + powerful heroine

In her previous life, she was an empress, yet trusting the wrong man and pouring her family’s heart and soul into him led to her whole family being executed, her young son dying, and her own miserable death in the Cold Palace. Reborn on the eve of the selection ceremony at age fifteen, she vows to tear apart the “perfect script” of every enemy who wronged her. In this life, she will no longer be someone else’s pawn. She will be the one moving the pieces, using the realm as her board and its people as her pawns, to exact bloody vengeance and forge an era of prosperity under an empress who rules the world.
