In her previous life, she trusted a scumbag and her half-sister, helping him ascend the throne. In return, her entire family was executed, and she died a miserable death in the Cold Palace.
Only as she lay dying did she learn that she had been the cinnabar mole in the heart of the aloof, proud Regent.
Reborn, she tears into her enemies, deals mercilessly with the scumbag, and carefully plots her revenge, repaying blood with blood.
She is decisive and ruthless on her path to vengeance, yet gives the Regent all her tenderness, repaying in this life, many times over, the love she owed him in her last.
A satisfying takedown of scoundrels, a sweet romance: in this life, she wants power over the capital and to be cherished like a princess by the one she loves.
