[Transmigration and Rebirth] [A Story About an Emperor and Empress Who Can't Stand Each Other, Returning to the Beginning and Trying to Kill Each Other So They Can Find New Partners]

In the sixteenth year of the Xuanhe era, Duan Anning became Empress Dowager in the fifteenth year after ascending to the position of empress.

She saw the emperor off, then took her ten-year-old son to sit on the throne in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. She ruled from behind the curtain for eight more years.

Posterity would judge her merits and faults.

As she lay at death's door, scenes from her life flashed before her eyes.

She had married two emperors in her lifetime. One was the peerless and valiant Emperor Zhaowu, who ended the era of chaos but died six months after ascending the throne.

The second was Emperor Wen, who used an edict left by the late emperor to force her into marriage, ascend the throne, and take up residence in Shangjing.

Her former husband had been so wonderful that the man who came after seemed all the more wicked.

The events of years past were still vivid:

The emperor and empress grew estranged, the crown prince was deposed and reinstated, and she spent years confined in the Cold Palace.

In the end, it was this deposed empress who held up the young dynasty and kept Great Zhao alive.
