Reborn as a Consort: I Won't Be a Stepmother, I'll Be the Emperor's Sister-in-Law

【Groveling pursuit + one-on-one romance + love triangle + revenge power fantasy】 In her previous life, Lu Anning gave herself to the aging emperor to save the Crown Prince, Yan Beichen, only to have her eyes gouged out and her tongue cut off before dying with hatred in her heart. When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the day her fate changed: the Crown Prince had been exiled for treason, and Emperor Qinglong was tempting her into the palace with the promise of a consort’s title. This time, she accepted her shackles with a cold laugh, then turned around and made a life-and-death pact with the Seventh Prince, Yan Huaijin. She would use the emperor to climb to the highest ranks and weave a gentle, deadly trap with the intoxicating illusion of a fleeting life. She would make Yan Beichen taste the torments of hell on the road to exile, and tear apart his false ambition and lies. The imperial palace was a chessboard. She wielded the pieces like blades, staining her path with blood at every step, determined to crush those who had betrayed her and send them plunging into the abyss. Yet the sinister and ruthless Yan Huaijin fed her poison that would rip through her guts, then bent down to brush her bloodstained lips. “Lu Anning, a calamity like you belongs with me in the deepest hell.” If the palace was doomed to rot, then she would be the final blaze to burn the world to ashes.
