Reborn to Rule: The Rise of the First Female Emperor

ofilia
Ruan Hongxiao, daughter of a wealthy Jiangnan merchant, was cast into palace servitude after her family was falsely accused of treason. Enduring humiliation, she used both her beauty and wit to befriend the Crown Prince, rising from maid to favored concubine. The imperial harem proved treacherous—Crown Princess Shen saw her as a threat, scheming against her repeatedly, even poisoning her unborn child. Forged by anguish, Hongxiao vowed vengeance. Secretly courting powerful ministers and building her faction, she manipulated the Prince into overthrowing Shen, securing her position as the new Crown Princess. When the Prince ascended the throne, Hongxiao recognized his indecisiveness would doom the realm. Working behind the scenes, she weakened imperial authority through courtiers while securing the military's loyalty. After the Emperor's sudden death, she ruled as Regent, purging rivals and instituting sweeping reforms. Finally, urged by the court, Hongxiao donned the yellow robes and claimed the throne—the first female emperor. She ruled with an iron will yet a visionary's heart, fulfilling the grand ambition of her youth.

Reborn in Ash and Light: Book One of the Celestial Twins

In the final moments of their lives, Arthur—a hardened law enforcer—and Morgan—a fearless firefighter—make the ultimate sacrifice for others. But death is not their end. In a realm beyond life, they are offered a second chance by celestial beings from another world—a world in desperate need of heroes. With five wishes each and the power to create their own race, they are reborn into a land where magic pulses through the air like breath and every element holds ancient secrets. Reborn as Lucian and Laila, twin siblings born to a loving family in a humble village, they awaken in their new infant bodies with full memories of their past lives—and the wisdom that comes with them. From the very beginning, they are no ordinary children. Even in their first week of life, they begin developing powerful breathing techniques: Solar for Lucian, brimming with radiant energy and aggressive potential; Lunar for Laila, a serene and fluid rhythm drawing strength from stillness and clarity. As they grow in a magical world shaped by elemental forces and ancient bloodlines, the twins must navigate family bonds, village life, and the deeper call of destiny. They are not just children—they are the seeds of a new race, chosen to reshape the balance of power in a world teetering on the edge of chaos. But the world they now inhabit is vast and full of unknown dangers—arcane cults, warring kingdoms, forgotten gods, and ancient prophecies. Their gifts are both a blessing and a beacon, drawing the attention of beings far beyond mortal comprehension. Together, Lucian and Laila will rise—sun and moon, fire and shadow—shaping the fate of a world that has long waited for champions born not of its soil, but of stars.

Harem With Venom In Marvel/Dc

One day, I suddenly found myself in the Marvel Universe, inheriting a fortune worth tens of millions. A dream come true, right? But my excitement was short-lived because I knew what was coming—just a few years from now, the Mad Titan, Thanos, would snap his fingers and erase half of all life in the universe. Luckily, I wasn't entirely defenseless. I had a golden finger, a mysterious ability that allowed me to travel between worlds. But there was a catch. My so-called "cheat" had a twisted sense of humor—every time I escaped from one nightmare, I found myself in another. The alternate world? None other than DC, a universe filled with terrifying gods, unstoppable monsters, and vigilantes who could turn me into dust if I so much as looked at them the wrong way. With no godlike strength, no genius intellect, and no overpowered abilities, I had only one way to survive—cling to powerful figures, play my cards right, and master the fine art of eating soft rice (relying on strong women for protection). In a world of heroes and villains, where cosmic wars and multiversal threats loom over my head, I must navigate the chaos, build connections, and ensure that I always have a backer strong enough to keep me alive. Because if I don’t? Well, let’s just say that between Marvel and DC, there's no shortage of ways to die. plz support me if you can patreon.com/AZFANFICTION https://www.buymeacoffee.com/AZofficial This fanfiction is 90-chapter ahead and also this fanfic is 90 chapters ahead there
