Crown of the Nile: My Beggar Husband is the Pharaoh

Reborn from a tragic death, Merit, the eldest daughter of a W'ab priest, relives the Nile Inundation Festival where noble maidens choose their fated husbands. In her past life, she boosted her husband's career only to be murdered by her jealous younger sister Nefti, who has also been reborn and aims to seize the powerful officer Hemte for status. When Merit casts the sacred scarab, it lands on Kaji, the real Pharaoh Amenem hiding under a beggar alias to test noble ladies' true characters. Defying family humiliation and public mockery, Merit marries the seemingly destitute Kaji. Living in a shabby hut, she practices superb folk medicine and wins Kaji's deep-seated affection. Consumed by envy, Nefti frames Merit and tortures her in prison. At the life-or-death moment, Kaji reveals his royal identity and punishes the villains. Surviving war, plague, and the admiration of the Hittite emperor, Merit guards the kingdom with wisdom and mercy. She finally ascends as Queen, gaining sincere, mutual love with Kaji.
