In her previous life, Yu Qianmeng transmigrated to ancient times and was made empress at birth by the scheming empress dowager. She was widowed before she could marry, lived out her days in a desolate palace, and suffered a miserable fate, dying without a proper ending.
Now reborn, she remembers the tragic end of her previous life and vows never to make the same mistakes again. The ruthless empress dowager wants her to become empress, so she’ll go along with it. Whether in her past life or this one, she’s determined to be empress. But this time, she’ll decide for herself how to play the role.
So the first thing Yu Qianmeng does after being reborn isn’t celebrate or marvel at her good fortune. Instead, she hurries off to cling to someone’s dazzlingly powerful coattails.
She knows that this seemingly inconsequential, carefree prince will eventually ascend the throne and become the most powerful man in the world.
Yu Qianmeng figures that as long as she stays close to him, she’ll have the chance to tear apart everyone who bullied and humiliated her in her previous life, and make them suffer until they beg for death.
But as she clings to him, things start to change, and Yu Qianmeng prepares to run.
He says, “I hear you want to leave?”
Yu Qianmeng: “...”
He says, “Stay, and you’ll be the only one in my life. Leave, and wait for me on the road to the underworld.”
