Phoenix in the Ashes

In the thirteenth year of Jianyuan, Queen Shen Yuan woke up from a three-day coma and found herself reborn. In her last life, she had been in the palace for four years. She was deposed and imprisoned. The entire Shen family was executed, and she was killed in a fire in the cold palace. Before she died, she saw Pei Heng, whom she had raised as a concubine, standing outside the firelight, with the corners of her lips slightly curved. In this life, she woke up early. There are only three months left before the Shen family is destroyed. She had to put the chess pieces where they should be before everyone could react. But she soon discovered that this life was not a simple repeat of the previous one - some people took action in advance, some secretly helped, and some are still indistinguishable from friends to enemies. And the Queen Mother's words, "There is no shortage of smart people in the palace, but people who live a long life." Is it a reminder or a warning? There are many doubts and every step is startling. This is a life and death chess game about trust and betrayal, revenge and redemption.
