Phoenix's Scheme for the Realm: The Reborn Poisonous Consort of the Regent
【Reborn for revenge + strong heroine and hero + satisfying political intrigue + devoted, doting romance + both leads are faithful and equally unhinged】
In her previous life, Shen Qingwan, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's household, was betrayed by her half-sister and a scumbag who joined forces against her.
A bowl of abortifacient, a false charge: her father and brothers were beheaded, her mother died with her in the coffin, and Shen Qingwan was skinned and stuffed while carrying twins.
When she opened her eyes again, she was fifteen years old
The imperial edict of betrothal had arrived, her half-sister was playing the innocent, and the scumbag was pretending to be devoted.
Shen Qingwan sneered. “In this life, I won't marry a prince or fight the imperial consorts. I'll make you pay for your crimes in blood!”
She plans every move carefully, wielding medicine and poison as blades and turning the court and battlefield into her playing field.
She breaks off the engagement, delivers face-slapping comeuppances, torments her half-sister, protects her father and brothers, brings down the Noble Consort, and reopens old cases.
With a single carefully laid scheme, she sets the realm in turmoil.
But she never expected that the icy-faced, fearsome regent, whose power dominates the court, had already set his sights on her
Xiao Yuheng, the late emperor's youngest brother, commands the army. Though rumors say he has no interest in women, he is obsessively fixated on her.
“I have a deadly cold poison in my body and not long to live. Only you can save me.”
“I offer you the realm as my betrothal gift and my life as a wedding present. I want only you.”
Later, he kills princes for her, destroys enemy states, and deposes the Empress Dowager.
A grand bridal procession stretches for ten miles as all the officials gather to celebrate.
He stands atop the nine-tier jade steps and bends to scoop her into his arms:
“My life, my realm, my heart, ”
“From this day on, they all belong to you.”
She smiles, her eyes shimmering. “Then I'll accept them, along with your life.”
She is a poisonous phoenix reborn from the flames; he is a blue dragon who breaks his wings for her.
In this life, they stand side by side,
One schemes against every heart, the other slaughters every enemy,
