The Tyrant's Darling Is a Black-Hearted Lotus

[Two Powerful Leads + Reborn + Fake and Real Heiresses + Gentle Yet Strong, Ambitious Favorite Consort × Heartless Tyrant Emperor + Harem Intrigue]

She was a highborn young lady who had grown up away from home. When she entered the palace, she became a pawn discarded to secure the fake heiress’s position as empress.

Only when poison touched her throat did she realize that family affection, favor, all of it had been a lie!

Reborn, she entered the palace once more.

Everything from acting pitiful to ingratiating herself was just a facade!

She would climb into the emperor’s heart and use her supreme power to crush everything!

Lu Shizhi was cold-hearted and ruthless, confident that he could betray or kill anyone!

But gazing into those tear-bright eyes, all he wanted was to protect and comfort her.

By the end, he discovered that he was the one who had been utterly enchanted!

(An imaginary setting. The male lead is not a virgin, while the female lead is. In the later part, the heroine is the only one he favors. She wins his heart first, then sets her sights on the world.)
