Revenge Reborn: The Redgent's Forbidden Consort

A Rebirth Story With Royal Intrigue

What if your greatest enemy was also your greatest ally? Revenge Reborn: The Redgent’s Forbidden Consort flips the rebirth revenge script by adding palace politics, hidden identities, and a deliciously dangerous romance.

The Story: Revenge, Regency, and Dangerous Games

In her first life, Lydia Sterling was destroyed. Her scoundrel husband and his mistress conned her family out of their fortune, left her in ruins, and drove her to despair. When she dies, her only regret is that she never fought back.

Then she wakes up—alive again, back before the tragedy began.

This time, Lydia has a plan: hire a “poor scholar” with a hefty purse to father an heir, secure her position as the Zane family matriarch, and then conveniently widow herself. Simple, strategic, ruthless.

There’s just one problem: the “poor scholar” isn’t poor. He’s the Prince Regent—known throughout the kingdom as the “Living King of Hell”—and he’s set his sights on Lydia long before she ever noticed him.

Now Lydia’s carefully laid plans are unraveling in the most thrilling way possible. The Prince Regent isn’t just willing to play her game—he’s rewriting the rules entirely. Together, they’ll crush her worthless ex-husband’s clan and seize the fortune that should have been hers. But as their alliance deepens into something far more dangerous, Lydia must ask herself: Is she using him, or is he using her?

What Makes This Drama Irresistible

The Prince Regent is a MENACE

He’s powerful, calculating, and absolutely obsessed with Lydia. Reddit users swooned: “He’s not your typical cold ML. He’s strategic, protective, and the way he watches Lydia like she’s the only person in the room? SWOON”.

Lydia’s Strategic Mind

Unlike passive reborn heroines, Lydia takes charge immediately. She doesn’t wait for fate—she actively reshapes it. “Lydia hiring a ‘sperm donor’ and accidentally bagging a prince is peak comedy and I’m LIVING for it”.

Palace Intrigue Meets Family Drama

The show balances large-scale political maneuvering with intimate revenge plots. Lydia isn’t just fighting her ex—she’s navigating royal court factions, inheritance battles, and ancient grudges.

The Chemistry

The tension between Lydia and the Prince Regent crackles. Their verbal sparring is foreplay, their silences speak volumes, and when they finally join forces, it’s explosive.

Community Reactions

YouTube and Reddit fans are OBSESSED:

“The Prince Regent pretending to be a poor scholar while secretly being the most powerful man in the kingdom is my new favorite trope.”

“Lydia’s plan: Get pregnant, get power, get rid of husband. Reality: Get pregnant, get a PRINCE, get a whole new life. The universe said ‘Let me upgrade you.’”

“This drama does historical revenge SO WELL. The costumes, the palace intrigue, the scheming—it’s addictive.”
