【Political intrigue + decisive female lead + devoted younger man + feel-good power fantasy】
In her previous life, Xiao Qingluan was a princess of the highest rank, but she was neither virtuous nor demure.
The court officials wanted her to support her husband and raise children. She wanted to control the government.
Her father wanted her to support her young brother. She raised an army, rebelled, and took the throne.
She lived life on her own terms, enjoying glory and success.
But after trusting the wrong person by her side, she lost everything at the final moment and died.
When she opened her eyes again, Xiao Qingluan had been reborn as an ordinary country girl.
So be it. In this new life, she would still claim the throne!
And those who betrayed her would pay for their crimes in blood!
But how had she accidentally ended up with her troublesome, bargain-bin nephew clinging to her?
The young man’s sword was still wet with blood, yet he tugged at her sleeve and pleaded like a child: “Auntie, wouldn’t it be wonderful if I could be the blade in your hand and the stepping-stone beneath your feet?”
