Reborn to Slay the Rakshasa

【Both leads are each other’s one and only + reborn + evenly matched power struggle + intensely satisfying】 Meng Wanqing is reborn at fifteen and realizes, to her horror, that she’s a widow-to-be. In her previous life, she followed every rule, only to lose both herself and her child. A white lotus stabbed her in the stomach, killing mother and child together! This time, to hell with being gentle, virtuous, respectful, and compliant! She wants power, the empress’s throne, and vengeance paid back in blood! At the Crown Prince’s bride-selection banquet, he prefers elegant, talented women? Then she’ll wear crimson rouge and dazzle the room. One sword dance to “Slay the Rakshasa,” and she’ll shatter his narrow-minded expectations. A green-tea schemer frames her? She’ll turn the tables and make her fall flat on her face in public. A white lotus starts trouble? She’ll rip off her mask. Meng Wanqing’s goal is clear: she doesn’t want some worthless man, just the real Empress’s throne! But she gradually notices that the seemingly cold Crown Prince is looking at her with an increasingly intense gaze. He indulges her recklessness and keeps her safe: “My Crown Princess should have the courage to slay a rakshasa. But with you attracting admirers like this, are you trying to make me… settle accounts early?” What’s more, she’s unnerved to discover that his shadow seems to have been lurking behind the mysteries of her past life all along… It turns out she isn’t the only one moving the pieces in this game of rebirth.
