An Lingrong Reborn: Rising Step by Step

In her previous life, An Lingrong spent years navigating the palace. She was once Zhen Huan's right-hand woman and also the Empress's pawn, sacrificed to achieve her aims. She always put the An family's reputation and future first. She died young, before the age of thirty.

Now her soul has returned, to the year she was selected for the palace. Standing once more beneath the Shenwu Gate, gazing at the vermilion palace walls, she has not a trace of fear in her eyes. Sisterly affection in the inner palace, a ruler's favor: all are just illusions.

She wants power over the harem, endless riches, and a life ruled by her own will. Anyone who stands in her way is an enemy; anyone who helps her is an ally.

Even with a heart of iron, she will make the old friends' old dreams come true: Zhen Huan and Prince Guo, Shen Meizhuang and Wen Shichu, Consort Sun and…

At last, these pairs of illicit lovers will have their springtime.

Surely this time, they will all get what they wished for, and everyone will live happily ever after.

(The emperor in the TV drama was portrayed very well, but the emperor in this book is written as he was in the original novel!)

(She will not become sisters with Meizhuang and Huan.)
