#Both reborn #Real and fake princesses #Dramatic heroine #Unconventional princess #Bickering rivals and political intrigue
On a stormy night, hoofbeats pound as a broken-down carriage crashes through the gates of the royal manor. The princess, covered in mud and carrying a fire poker, storms inside. “Father! I set the Crown Prince’s temple on fire again!” That’s the first thing she does after being reborn. In her previous life, the fake princess framed her, leaving her to die in the Cold Palace. Her gentle, virtuous “younger sister” was actually a spy from an enemy nation, using a political marriage to bring down the royal family. This time, she refuses to be a good daughter and sticks to pranks: sprinkling chili powder into tribute tea, setting off fireworks during a ceremony and blasting the Minister of Rites’ hat into the air… Midway through the story, the regent realizes something is off about her and probes her at every turn, only to reveal that he also remembers his past life. He is the husband she mistakenly killed in her previous life. The two go from wary opponents to partners in a scheme, uncovering the truth behind the babies who were switched at birth. Their ultimate goal: tear off the fake princess’s mask, protect the royal bloodline, and, while they’re at it, drag the regent, who’s tough on the outside but soft at heart, home to marry him.
