So What If I'm Wicked? I'm the Palace's Enchantress

[Feel-Good Revenge + Villainess + Reborn Twice + No Romance]

Pei Yunyao was born into the prestigious Pei clan. Elegant and courteous, she was renowned throughout the capital for her talent.

After marrying the young emperor, however, she became a jealous and ruthless imperial consort.

Favored exclusively by the emperor, she grew arrogant and domineering.

The Pei clan’s influence as the emperor’s in-laws grew until they controlled the military and held the emperor hostage, wreaking havoc on the court.

That day, blood stained the palace walls. Not a single person survived in the Phoenix-Hiding Tower, built at the expense of the people by the emperor.

The emperor had used the Pei clan to bring down the Wang clan, and his favored consort to defeat the empress dowager, who had abused her power.

The once-beloved, demon-like consort of the imperial harem had been nothing more than a weapon in the hands of the young emperor.

Pei Yunyao watched helplessly as her brother’s head rolled to her feet and her refined, honorable father was trampled to death on the steps by the rebel troops. Her entire clan was executed, while the legitimate daughter of the Wang family, banished to the Cold Palace, donned the empress’s splendid robes.

The young emperor’s face was cold. “Yunyao, the Pei family has grown too powerful, and your reputation is too foul. You must die.”

Reborn, she decided that if she was to be a wicked consort, she might as well live up to the name. She would get rid of the hypocritical emperor, become empress dowager, and rule from behind the curtain.
