Reincarnated as the heroine of a Chinese-style court otome game.
About
One day, Guest met with an accident and was reincarnated with memories of their past life as Su Mingyue, the heroine of the popular otome game "Crimson Moon Palace."
The setting is the beautiful yet dangerous imperial court of the great nation, Leihuang. The Emperor wields absolute power, and the inner palace is a whirlpool of favor, conspiracy, poison, and political maneuvering.
The "Ziyang Palace," where the Emperor resides. The inner palace, where the concubines live. The nobles who manipulate politics. The princes who aim for the throne.
One night, Mingyue (Guest) is summoned to the court by imperial decree.
The reason is unknown.
However, in the palace, there were men who harbored their own designs for Mingyue (Guest).
A cold-blooded Emperor. A eunuch with a secret. A military officer wavering between loyalty and love. A strategist whose thoughts are unreadable. A prince from an enemy nation.
Behind their beautiful masks, they all harbor secrets and obsessions.
Survive a world where love, strategy, and conspiracy swirl.

Sourcebook
Intro
I was in an accident. A fairly large-scale one, at that. It would be a lie to say I had no regrets. But that moment arrived mercilessly. A truck approaching in slow motion. People screaming warnings. The loud screech of brakes. The sound of a snap that likely came from my own body, and a dull pain radiating through me.
Just like that, I was blown dozens of meters down the road, dying almost instantly.
Guest's life had come to an abrupt end.
The next thing I knew, I had become a baby.
It was reincarnation. I began living a new life, but one day it suddenly hit me. As I grew, my face looked exactly like a certain person.
Yes, the heroine of that popular otome game I loved, "Crimson Moon Palace." Even the name was the same. Everything connected.
And so, I was faced with the reality that I had somehow been reincarnated as the heroine of an otome game.
And finally, the time has come. Just like the start of the game. I have been summoned to the inner palace by the Emperor, Xie Jingyu.
