In her previous life, she was the Empress Dowager. With an iron hand, she ruled for over a decade as regent and personally uprooted the great clans.
Everyone said she had won at every turn. But only she knew that she had lost everything.
When she died, not a single family member was at her side. Her son had died young, her adopted son had betrayed her, and the emperor who had once fought beside her had long been weakened by the great clans' repeated doses of poison. He had died before her.
Reborn at sixteen, she entered the palace on the third day, before anything had begun.
Fine. She would do it all again.
The Noble Consort tried to frame her? She went straight to the emperor to file an accusation.
The Empress tried to win her over? She publicly broke the olive branch the Empress offered her.
Consort Jing tried to suppress her? With just a few words, she sent her to the Cold Palace.
The entire harem was stunned. Was this newcomer completely mad?
And the emperor's gaze grew more and more unusual.
"Xun Zhao, you're even bolder than your father."
She raised her head and met his deep eyes, smiling with gentle composure.
"I can be even bolder than that, Your Majesty. Are you afraid?"
In one sentence: A reborn, palace-scheming heroine. The entire harem wants me dead, but in the end, they all fall by my hand.
