Embroidered Ball at the Crown Prince: A Merchant Girl's Dragon-Slaying Manual

Blood from the execution ground splattered across my brow—the same moment I realized my entire life had been a pawn in their game. Crown Princess Lin Wanqing smiled from her tower while Crown Prince Xiao Chengjing drank deep of my family's destruction, all for their hypocritical throne. But fate grants me a second chance: I wake three months before my death, staring at the untouched embroidered ball that sealed my doom. This time, I won't kneel in the mud for their ambitions. This time, I'll shatter the Eastern Palace's bones and show the world exactly who deserves to grovel in the dust.
