[Transmigration + rebirth + System + palace intrigue + political schemes + playing the pig to eat the tiger]
The original owner was branded a jinx from childhood, sent to a peasant family to endure fourteen years of mistreatment, and died.
I transmigrated into her body and took her place, living on for her.
With my father, the emperor, gravely ill, an imperial edict summons me back to the palace.
Everyone is waiting to see me make a fool of myself.
But I am not the original owner.
Everything I do forces my father to look at me in a new light.
Later, he asks me, “What do you want?”
I say, “A fair chance to compete for the throne.”
He tries to use medicine to bargain with me, but I win.
The day I take the throne, the entire court kneels before me.
But they don't know that the soul in this body has long since ceased to be the princess I once was.
