Rebellion, with a Male Strategist Who Comes to My Door

Su Liujin was reborn and originally planned to overthrow that damn emperor and take the throne herself.

But who could have guessed that her very first step in faking her death and escaping would be seen through by a reclusive master caught up in the struggle for power?

Fortunately, he wasn't looking to report her and claim a reward. He only wanted to stay by Su Liujin's side and offer her advice.

A free-spirited person has plenty of charm.

When the followers around Su Liujin began looking at her with something more than simple admiration, even the reclusive master, who had previously remained indifferent, could no longer stay calm.

A noble young man came forward, confidently recommending himself to her.

Zhang Pan, hiding behind a screen, ground his teeth.

When the other man tried to take his place, Zhang Pan could no longer stay hidden. He rushed out, eyes red.

"She doesn't need you!"

"I was the first to come to her side. Do you think you're worthy of competing with me?"
