The Reluctant Empress

Princess Phoebe Rhodes, reborn after losing a palace struggle in her previous life, wants a lazy life. But her reborn relatives and friends push her to ascend the throne. Her attempts to slack off are praised as hiding brilliance, her feigning foolishness as strategic genius. She repeatedly achieves great success when forced to handle political affairs. In the end, she turns the tide during a staged rebellion, ascends the throne, and becomes a wise monarch.
