(Male lead reborn + one-on-one romance + love after marriage + childhood sweethearts + sweet romance) Everyone in the capital knew that among the younger generation, no noblewoman outranked Fu Yongning.
She was not only the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Anguo’s household, but had also grown up alongside the Sixth Prince, her childhood sweetheart. The year after he ascended the throne, she entered the palace as a high-ranking consort before she had even come of age. In just three years, she became empress.
Fu Yongning thought she would go on living in such honor forever. Who could have imagined that when the emperor died unexpectedly, she would be forced to join him in death?
Only then did she discover just how many people had been hoping she would die.
But she refused to give them what they wanted.
Even if it cost her half her life, she wanted to survive. To uncover the truth, she had no choice but to turn to the cold, distant imperial uncle who had long guarded the northern frontier.
But... why was this imperial uncle so different from the man she remembered? He was so fierce. When had she ever offended him?
Never mind. She only wanted to use him and then leave, so she could go back to being Miss Fu.
When the day of her departure came, the city gates slowly swung open. Her carriage faced an army of thousands, and the man on horseback looked down at her with the dawn behind him.
“Where does the empress think she’s going?”
