Villain Consort: Second Life, No Mercy
She was sent to die in another woman’s place.
Now she’s back to make them beg for mercy.
Zhen Liya, the discarded daughter of a concubine, was sacrificed when her delicate half-sister refused the Crown Prince’s hand. Thrown into the palace as a consort, she was betrayed, framed, and sentenced to death by hanging…her body swinging in silk robes before the very court that once praised her.
But fate had other plans.
Reborn at fourteen, Liya returns with her memories intact…and a mind sharpened by vengeance. This time, she walks into the palace not as a pawn, but as a loaded blade. They call her obedient. They call her quiet.
They forget: silence is where storms are born.
“You can drag me back to the palace, Your Majesty,” I whispered, stepping closer, “but you can’t make me love you again.”
He gripped her wrist anyway..and didn't let go.
“She’s mine,” the Crown Prince growls, stepping between me and his brother. “She was always mine.”
And then he pulled me into his arms in front of the entire court..dragged me out like he’d never let go.
“Careful, Your Highness,” I murmur with a smirk. “You’re clinging like a man who regrets letting go.”
He said nothing. Just watched me with fire in his eyes.
This time, she won't beg for love.
She'll make them kneel for mercy.
