Phoenix Gambit: The Player and the Trials of a Past Life

Shen Qingci, the prime minister’s legitimate daughter, was killed in her previous life through a conspiracy between her half-sister and a prince. Reborn three days before the imperial consort selection, she holds the “script of the future.” She refuses to enter the emperor’s harem and instead chooses the Seventh Prince, the son of a discarded consort confined to the Cold Palace, as her husband. Entering the game as a prince’s consort, she helps her husband seize the throne, settles accounts with her enemies one by one, and ultimately becomes the Empress Dowager Regent. In this second life, she will finally make it count.
