Reborn Consort: Scheming My Way to the Throne

Charlotte Hart lost her whole family to the Sixth Prince, the man she had married and had thanked for years as the one who saved her life. His concubine helped set the household up, and Charlotte believed the pair of them until it was finished. She was a general's daughter. By the end there was nothing left of the house she came from, and nothing left of her either. Then she is three years back, with everything she went through still in her head. She keeps clear of the Sixth Prince, breaks up the concubine's plans as they form, and gets herself out of the marriage. Cameron Ashford, the crown prince who had been stripped of the succession, is the one she goes to. She offers to help him take the throne, and somewhere in that work she finds out that Cameron was the man who saved her, and that she had spent an entire life thanking the wrong person. "I will pay my pain back a thousand times over," she says of the two who used her. The fighting at court is over the empress's seat and who ends up holding the succession, and she walks into it already knowing how it went the first time.
