Synopsis

[Past and Present Lives + Male Lead Reborn + Sweet Historical Romance]

In her previous life, Ning Zhi had no choice but to enter the palace as a consort. She never expected to become the emperor’s sole favorite. Whether they were boating on the lake during the Flower Festival or pledging their love on the Qixi Festival, she found herself unable to resist the gentle, refined emperor.

On the eve of her appointment as empress, a carefully plotted assassination revealed the truth behind his favor. Heartbroken and disillusioned, Ning Zhi asked to be sent to the Cold Palace, determined never to see Li Yan again in this life.

A final blaze consumed all the love, hatred, and passion that had defined Ning Zhi and Li Yan’s lives. Though he longed to buy osmanthus flowers and share wine with her, their days of carefree youth would never return.

After she died, Li Yan spent the rest of his life consumed by regret. He died of illness in Longquan Palace before he was even forty.

But when he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the days before Ning Zhi entered the palace. Overjoyed, he began making careful plans. A Zhi, will you walk beside me in this life and see these splendid lands together?

From then on, the emperor who sat high above all others had a weakness and a taste for ordinary life. Every day, he was either doting on his wife or on his way to dote on her. The imperial harem was empty in all but name.

The ministers: ...Your Majesty, please spread your favors around.
