Reborn as a Spoiled Imperial Consort, I Won Over the Ascetic Imperial Uncle

Shen Qingci transmigrates into the role of a doomed little consort in a tragic romance. The original Shen Qingci cuckolded the emperor and provoked Xiao Jue, a regent who had slaughtered countless people, and was ultimately sentenced to die with a thousand snakes piercing her heart.

The night she arrives, the passion has just died down. Seeing the sleeping man beside her, Shen Qingci quickly bundles up her valuables and runs!

Getting entangled with the love-struck male lead is a sure way to die. She decisively resolves to turn over a new leaf and build her own power. By day, she eats vegetarian food, prays to Buddha, and acts harmless and frail. By night, she devises plans, recruits loyal ministers, sidelines the Grand Secretariat, and seizes the Imperial Guard's military seals. She vows to become the Empress Dowager who rules from behind the curtain!

But the ascetic regent's gaze grows darker and more dangerous by the day.

"Uncle, please behave yourself. I only wish to spend my days beside the Buddha's lamp."

"Spend your days beside the Buddha's lamp? Then why weren't you so pure and celibate when you called me 'good uncle' that night in the hot spring? You secretly seized military power and replaced the guards. Did you really think I was blind?"

He wrapped an arm around her waist, his eyes blazing with strange fire. "This vast realm was the betrothal gift I won for you. The world is yours, but how will you repay me? Do you think you can still run away?"
