[Reborn + Political Intrigue + Woman Disguised as a Man + Devoted Couple]
Xie Jintong was the heir of a marquis’s household, a woman disguised as a man who drank, gambled, and caroused her way through the capital. Then she had a dream, one so vivid it felt real. In it, she was framed and suffered a miscarriage. After receiving an imperial summons to return to the capital and purge the court, she was ambushed and killed outside the city.
To avoid living through the events of her dream, she pursued an official post, entered government service, fought the princes, and climbed the ranks step by step. But just when she thought she could change everything from her dream, she discovered that it had all really happened.
Yet what she knew of her previous life was not necessarily the whole truth. Past and present had become tangled: those who should have died were alive, and those who should have been born never were. And the person who made her feel both love and hate seemed to be keeping many secrets as well.
Xie Jintong said to Shen Luoxun, “So what if you’re the Regent? In this court, whoever I want on the throne will take the throne!”
Shen Luoxun told the assembled officials, “Lord Xie says today’s court session is canceled. You may all return to your residences!”

The female lead is reborn and focused on her career. The male lead has a fair amount of screen time, but not a great deal. Romance is not the main focus, so please don’t read if that bothers you.
The dynasty is fictional, with its own systems and institutions, and is not exactly like any historical period. Please don’t scrutinize every detail too closely.
