The Deposed Empress Reborn: Joining Forces with Her Greatest Enemy to Rule the Court

In her previous life, Shen Zhiyi poured her heart and soul into helping her husband ascend the throne, only to see her family destroyed and herself banished to the cold palace.

Reborn on the night of her wedding, she looked at the hypocritical crown prince before her, then turned away and hid her dagger, pretending to play along. At a palace banquet, she “accidentally” spilled wine on the crown prince’s nemesis, Xiao Jue, the regent rumored to be savage and bloodthirsty.

In a secluded corner, Xiao Jue pinned her against an ornamental rock. His eyes were dark as ink: “Crown Princess, playing with fire?”

Shen Zhiyi rose onto her toes and whispered in his ear, “Your Highness, would you like a different emperor? I’ll be your inside agent, and you can make me empress.”

From then on, by day she was the gentle, virtuous crown princess; by night she was a wicked empress who slipped through the windows into the prince’s manor and made a deal with a tiger. When the crown prince was finally toppled, she handed Xiao Jue a divorce agreement, but he tore it to pieces. “I fought for this empire for you. Where do you think you’re going?”
