Reborn: The Demoness Who Shrouds the Heavens

She is the most powerful mage, but the ruler her family served betrays and murders them, leaving her family destroyed and her to die a miserable death. Her soul transmigrates to another world, arriving in the Kingdom of Yunzhou grievously wounded and unable to protect herself for a time. The realm is in turmoil: a new emperor has taken the throne, his rule is unstable, and court officials have seized power. Having died once, she stands atop the clouds and gazes coolly down at the world. “I know exactly how survival works. Only by standing at the very top can I control my own fate!” In Jingcheng, she plots her moves and builds her own power. There she meets a prince who spends his days lost in nature and indulging in poetry. But is he really as he seems? Just as she begins to find her footing, an imperial edict summons her to the palace and appoints her as a female official, overturning all her plans. Every step inside the palace is perilous; one misstep could mean utter ruin. She must contend not only with those who are violent and cruel, but also with pressure and plots from court officials. She must outwit an autocratic, suspicious emperor, while staying alert to the consorts throughout the palace, all scheming to poison her. This path is far from easy. In the end, who will be the one with all the power?
