Empress in Two Lifetimes: The Bewitching Crown Prince Won’t Let Go

Is being reborn with a cheat ability not exciting enough? What if you were reborn as a scumbag's stepmother?

In her previous life, she was used as a stepping stone. Only after her beauty was ruined and her child was made into a human-skin drum by her half-sister did Shentu Ningshuang realize how tragic her life had been.

Reborn, she became the new empress of the old emperor of Dongli, brought in to bring him good fortune. Her stepmother insulted her with a sharp tongue? She beat her until she couldn't get a word out. Her half-sister pretended to be a pure-hearted innocent? She sent her straight to a convent to pray for the emperor. Her hypocritical father wanted to use his daughter to climb the ladder? She sent him to the battlefield, where he barely escaped with his life...

Everyone said Empress Shentu was fierce and cruel. Yet she repeatedly put up with the Dongli Crown Prince, a debauched wastrel who spent his days drinking, fighting crickets, and chasing women. Rumors spread everywhere: the beautiful empress had fallen for the handsome crown prince.

Xuanyu Xie cornered Shentu Ningshuang and asked with a radiant smile, “Mother, I hear you've fallen for me?”

Shentu Ningshuang squeezed out tears as wide as noodles. “Son... I really just want to be a carefree empress dowager in peace.”
