    The new book, *The Phoenix Returns: The Poisonous Consort's Reign*, is here! Highly recommended! Ancient political intrigue—rebirth, revenge, adorable baby, regent. In her past life, she was the most virtuous and kind Crown Princess of Dongling Kingdom, tirelessly helping her husband ascend the throne. However, on the night of the new emperor's wedding, she was poisoned and died tragically in the cold palace along with her unborn child. > When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to five years ago, to that fateful spring banquet. > In this life, she tore up the marriage contract in front of the entire court and threw herself into the arms of the legendary ruthless Ninth Prince. > The world laughed at her madness, abandoning a pearl for a demon, but little did they know that the Ninth Prince had waited for this moment for two whole lifetimes. When she jokingly asked for the throne, he massacred the palace in a single night; when she gently touched her belly and said she wanted a child, his eyes darkened as he pinned her to the bed: "One isn't enough, have twins." Three years later, the Ninth Prince sat on the dragon throne, holding twins who looked exactly like him, looking down at the former Crown Prince and his wife, now prisoners: "How dare you bully my wife and children?"
