Reborn as a Black Lotus: The Eldest Princess Only Wants to Seize the Throne

[Political intrigue + satisfying revenge + strong female lead] In her previous life, Shen Mingzhu spent the first half of it as the Yan Empire’s only pearl, the most precious and dazzling one. As the emperor’s only child, she lived without knowing the hardships of the world. But in the second half of her life, she trusted the wrong people and fell from grace. Everyone around her died because of her, while she herself was falsely accused of being unfaithful and betraying her country. Even in death, she bore the weight of infamy. Reborn into a new life, she faces her father as he asks, “What if you were the one to inherit the throne?” She answers boldly, “If even I, the Pearl, cannot become heir, then no one in this realm dares claim the throne!” This time, she will ascend to the highest seat, protect those she cares about, and cut down everyone who has wronged her! She will make the world bow before her! I will become emperor. Who can stop me? But why does this regent want to become her imperial consort? Weren’t they just allies?!
