The Nether Pearl

[Fated Rebirth Female Lead x System Transmigration Male Lead]

On the day Shen Zhiwei, the empress dowager of a fallen kingdom, was reborn, Li Que, the Prince of Yan's heir, was reborn too.

After being reborn, Shen Zhiwei felt that something was wrong. What did it mean that she could no longer become crown princess, that the crown prince had turned evil and started killing people indiscriminately, and that the Great Qian royal family was about to die out before the kingdom even fell? Was this really how the story was supposed to go?

Li Que thought the story was going perfectly. He was only one step away from completing the mission to enthrone an empress, and the kingdom could still fall anyway. The crown prince no longer needed to take the throne. Seizing power was the right path.

And so, after being reborn:

Shen Zhiwei: Save my sister, save my maternal grandfather, save my best friend.

Li Que: Kill the corrupt officials, kill the spies, kill the emperor.

Shen Zhiwei panicked. Killing corrupt officials was one thing, and killing spies was one thing, but why kill the emperor?

And you're stealing the bride? And you castrated the crown prince?

Wait... where did you get that dragon robe?

Wait, why are you putting the dragon robe on me?!
