Throne of Blood

Empress Bai Fengwan was framed and slaughtered to the last family member by time-traveler Li Lingling and concubine Liu Hanxiang in her past life—now reborn, she vows to rewrite her fate. She exposes their plot to seduce Crown Prince Zhou Wen'an, allies with another time-traveler, Ye Qing, to counterbalance her rivals, and uncovers the hidden conspiracy orchestrated by Northern Kingdom remnant Xiao Yan and the incompetent Emperor Zhou Yang—surviving brutal palace power struggles to reign unchallenged from Cining Palace.
