The Tyrant's Sweetheart Is a Black-Hearted Lotus

[Two Powerful Leads] [Rebirth] [Fake and Real Heiresses] [Gentle on the Outside, Strong-Willed and Ambitious Favorite Consort] [Ruthless Tyrant Emperor] [Household Intrigue]

She was a noble heiress who had grown up far from home. Once she entered the palace, she became a pawn for the fake heiress to secure her position as empress.

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

Reborn, she entered the palace once more.

Her innocent vulnerability and sweet, ingratiating manner were all a facade!

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

Lu Shizhi was cold-hearted and ruthless, convinced that there was no one he couldn't betray or kill!

He hated the weak more than anything, especially women's tears.

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

Only after comforting her did he realize that he was the one who had been coaxed into a daze!

Dou Zhaozhao sat alone atop the mountain, raising a cup in salute.

How could love compare with a vast empire?

(Fantasy setting. The male lead has had past lovers; the female lead has not. In the later part, she is the only one he loves. The heroine wins his heart first, then claims the world.)
