Su Yue blew herself up after messing up an experiment. As she lay dying, she regretted never having been in a relationship.
Maybe Heaven heard her wish, because after she was reborn, she was promptly given a husband, along with a whole harem of concubines calling her “Empress Sister.”
She might be the principal wife, but she wasn’t happy. As it happened, her husband was entirely devoted to his career and claimed he had no interest in competing for favor in the harem.
If she couldn’t get a divorce, they could just live together with mutual respect. But why did he keep trying to get her attention?
That annoying emperor was such a pain. Why not topple his reign and become empress herself?
The eunuch reported, “His Majesty says the empire is yours, and so is he. Your Majesty, please compete for his favor.”
