Reborn: Yan Gechen's Master Plan

[Revenge after being reborn + Princes vying for the throne + Strong heroine + Bonds + Leaving the court behind + Marrying into a merchant family]

In her previous life, the Shen family commanded the armies of the northern frontier and became entangled in the struggle for the succession. In the end, Chu Congyu, newly enthroned as emperor, ruthlessly destroyed them.

Reborn, Shen Yange has seen through the cruelty of imperial power. She decides to stay involved without taking sides or backing any prince.

Under the court’s calm surface, currents run deep as the princes scheme against one another for the throne. Chu Congyu pursues supreme power with all his heart, while the feelings buried deep within him remain hidden beneath his ambition.

With the forces on the border at her command, she calmly keeps every faction in check and watches the royal family’s struggles with cold detachment.

Once everything is settled, Chu Congyu’s imperial dream lies in ruins. Shen Yange leaves the past in the palace behind and goes far from the court’s intrigues with the business-world confidant who shares her feelings.
