Radiant heroine vs. gloomy, insecure hero, with a deranged and possessive second male lead
Content warnings: 1. This is not a sweet historical romance centered on indulgent love.
2. The heroine won't fight other women in the household or palace for a man.
3. The male lead is chaste; the female lead is not.
In her previous life, Lin Lingyi married the Crown Prince, Li Jinglian. They were husband and wife for five years, and the Crown Prince doted on her alone, showering her with boundless affection.
Lin Lingyi killed the Crown Prince with her own hands and ascended to the position of Empress Dowager, only to die young.
Fortunately, she gets another chance. In this life, she vows to protect those she treasures and take back power. She sets out to save a stranger.
But she doesn't know that someone else has also been reborn, someone who will disrupt her plans and leave her on the back foot.
Both are reborn, but the other person who returned to the past is neither the male lead nor the second male lead.
