“Reborn, I’ll join forces with the foolish emperor to bring down the Southern Chu court!”
[Rebirth and revenge + palace intrigue and political scheming + the emperor’s exclusive favor]
In her previous life, Li Jinyuan, princess of Da Li, fell in love with Chu Yanci and became a pawn for the Empress Dowager of Southern Chu to control the court. In the end, her family was destroyed, and she died along with her unborn child. Even the Southern Chu emperor, Chu Jin Xun, was killed when Chu Yanci pierced his heart with a sword for protecting her.
At the moment she died from the poison, she was reborn in the Manluo Hall, where she had once tested poison for Chu Yanci.
This time, she put away her infatuation and took up the secret manual of poisons her mother had left behind, navigating the schemes swirling around the Empress Dowager and Chu Yanci.
She used the Empress Dowager to strip Chu Yanci of his allies, used her poisoncraft to resolve Chu Jin Xun’s troubles at court, and stirred up a storm in Southern Chu as the princess of Da Li!
Chu Jin Xun held her hand as they stood in the Golden Throne Hall, his eyes full of indulgence. “Whichever part of the sky you want to bring down, Your Highness, I’ll do it with you.”
Li Jinyuan curled her lips into a cold smile. “Let’s start with Chu Yanci’s Prince of Zhennan’s residence.”
