Synopsis

Synopsis:

In her previous life, Yu Yao was a nobody who died in a cold little room at Cuiwei Pavilion. The day she died, Consort Yue of Chunxi Palace was having a happy meal with the Emperor and her two-year-old daughter, the three of them enjoying a family moment.

Yu Yao thought that as long as her daughter was happy, she would be content. As an unfavored nobody, she might only burden her daughter while she was alive. Once she was gone, Consort Yue could truly treat Mianmian as her own. A foster mother from a prominent family who was favored by the Emperor was the best thing for Mianmian. In the future, she could also choose a better husband and escape the deep palace, living a happy life from then on.

But as her spirit drifted around Mianmian and watched her call another woman “Mother,” Yu Yao still felt deeply unwilling to leave. She could not bear to part with her daughter, so she stayed by Mianmian’s side as a wandering spirit as she grew up.

She watched the little baby who had once babbled her first words grow up bit by bit. When Mianmian was three, Consort Yue became pregnant and gave birth to a healthy prince. Mianmian’s place in Chunxi Palace grew awkward. Consort Yue was busy caring for her own son all day and could no longer spare a thought for Mianmian.

Yu Yao was heartbroken and full of regret, but there was nothing she could do to help her poor daughter.

All she could do was watch in silence: watch Mianmian grow up and learn from the palace servants that Yu Yao was her birth mother; watch her grow increasingly distant from Consort Yue, who called her an ungrateful girl who could never be raised right; and finally watch Consort Yue’s son ascend the throne and use Mianmian as a stepping stone to power, sending her to marry the old emperor of a neighboring kingdom. In the end, she died in another deep palace.

Since the male protagonist liked the female protagonist in his previous life, he should not let Concubine Yue control the female protagonist and ignore Mianmian. Even if he thinks that the female protagonist will be sad when he sees her, this should not be the reason why the male protagonist, as a father, does not care about the child. After the male protagonist was reborn, he only looked at the female protagonist secretly and did not think of dropping her to him. In the palace, if the heroine had not been reborn and returned, she would still have entered Concubine Yue's palace and become a pawn. Even if she fell in love with the hero later, she would still have knots in her heart. Even though the hero was reborn a year earlier than the heroine, he did not think about doing anything for the heroine. He was still waiting for the heroine to be brought to him.

The male protagonists in past and present lives all have a seemingly ruthless but affectionate feeling. We look forward to revealing the secret later! So far, it looks good. I hope Yaoyao is happy. It's good to be somewhere between being tempted and not being moved.

It's very beautiful. It feels like a twin, and it seems like a twin. The persistence of the heroine in the front is a bit strange, but it's not bad. Come on, come on.

I really hope that the queen in the emperor's painting will be the heroine

It feels good! I think the ending is a bit too fast

The plot of the story is actually quite cliché, but the whole story is still closely connected. As a person who has been reading novels for thirteen years, it is a great affirmation that I can persist in reading it. Not bad!

I quite like it, there are not too many twists and turns, the plot is there, the love is not bad, not outrageous, not the kind of person who doesn't care about anything for love.
