Poisoned Wine and a Death Sentence? Reborn, I Make the Crown Prince Join Me in the Grave

[Historical political intrigue + palace and household scheming / reborn for revenge + the second male lead takes the crown]

A cup of poisoned wine brought an end to the ten years Shen Jinghong had devoted herself heart and soul to serving the Crown Prince.

In her previous life, she was the lowliest concubine-born daughter of the Chancellor’s household, tricked into entering the palace by her legitimate elder sister and reduced to a pawn in the Crown Prince’s ruthless struggle for power.

Only when she was sentenced to death did she understand: from beginning to end, she had been nothing but a disposable stand-in!

Reborn, she returns to three months before entering the palace.

Armed with the script of her previous life, Shen Jinghong lets out a cold laugh. “Whoever wants to be the obedient pawn can have the job!”

Her hypocritical elder sister schemes for the empress’s throne?

Then Shen Jinghong will tear off her beautiful mask and ruin her reputation!

The Crown Prince is cold-blooded and still wants the throne?

Then she’ll cut off his power and make him watch as someone else claims the realm!

Under the name of a “troublemaker,” she stirs up the inner palace. She acts fragile and unhinged in public, but behind the scenes she plans every move, sending her enemies from her previous life to their doom one by one.

But just as she is crushing everyone in her path, the “good-for-nothing” Ninth Prince Gu Jiuyuan, whom she wronged and neglected in her previous life, suddenly drops his disguise and pins her against the imperial throne.

The young general’s eyes brim with obsession and madness. “Jinghong, I’ll avenge you. I offer you the realm as my bride price. Will you be my empress?”

As the secret of her rebirth and the truth behind the late emperor’s edict come to light, in this life, who will become whose prey?
