Alternate Title: The Rebirth of the Villainous Consort in a Dark Power Struggle Novel
Hot elements include: rebirth, sister rivalry, switching husbands, ruthless counterattacks, breaking the “cold love” trope, defeating the white moonlight (idealized love rival), and a fake vs. real heiress plot (not the protagonist). Packed with satisfying plot twists, this story is a must-read!
Zheng Huiyin and her sister Zheng Deyin both experience rebirth.
In their previous lives:
Huiyin married the puppet Crown Prince as a secondary consort, while Deyin married a powerful Duke as his official wife. Everyone believed Deyin had the better marriage.
However, Huiyin gained the exclusive favor of the Crown Prince for three years, even surpassing the Crown Princess. When the Crown Prince became Emperor, the Crown Princess died mysteriously, and the Emperor succumbed to his illness. Huiyin, as the mother of the Emperor's only heir, assumed regency and ruled the empire as Empress Dowager.
Meanwhile, Deyin’s marriage was plagued by her husband’s lingering feelings for his “white moonlight,” leaving her life bitter and lonely, ending with his untimely death.
In this life, Huiyin awakens to the news that Deyin has stolen her marriage proposal. Instead of being angry, she claps her hands in delight:
“Sorry, sis. Even if I’m on a different track, I’ll still become Empress!”
