By a Twist of Fate: A Princess’s Game of Power in the Great Yuan Dynasty

Su Xiaolan, an overworked office drone, is accidentally claimed by a reaper and becomes a troublesome vengeful spirit in the underworld whom no one dares to handle, throwing the realm of the dead into chaos. Left with no choice, Judge Lu makes a deal with her: her soul will transmigrate into the Great Yuan dynasty and become the newborn eldest princess. If she helps her crown prince brother ascend the throne and lives to the age of eighty-six, she’ll earn a permanent post in the underworld, complete with a residence and subordinates, as a special-agent reaper. Reborn into a new life, she becomes Princess Anning, cherished by the emperor, yet surrounded by deadly threats. The imperial consort and the powerful chancellor watch her like hawks, while the struggle for the throne churns beneath the surface. And Mo Yuan, the cold-faced shadow guard who never leaves her side, has a mysterious identity of his own.
