After Eavesdropping on the Tyrant's Thoughts, I Want to Break His Bones Every Night

On the night of their first wedding anniversary, she lay in Yu Xiao's arms and casually asked, “If we transmigrated to ancient times, what title would you give me?”

Yu Xiao answered with certainty and utmost seriousness. “Of course I'd make you empress.”

His tenderness felt so real in that moment that she believed him...

Who could have imagined that those sweet words would come true?

They woke up to find that they had really transmigrated to ancient times.

But a throne beside the emperor was never what awaited her.

Her once-tender lover had ascended the throne. He turned cold and heartless, humiliating her in public and condemning her to serve as a laundry maid by imperial decree, where she suffered endless abuse and torment.

Surrounded by hardship, Bai Jin refused to accept her fate. The vast imperial palace could not hold her forever. She had only one resolve: endure, find a way, and return to the modern world at any cost.

Only later did she see the whole truth. The lofty emperor was merely a puppet controlled by powerful ministers, with no authority in court and no influence in the inner palace, constrained at every turn.

He cast aside all the pride and dignity of an emperor, keeping watch over her day after day and clinging to her in abject desperation, embarking on an all-out campaign to win her back.

But once a heart has turned cold, it is hard to warm again.

His belated remorse and paltry attempts to make amends meant nothing to Bai Jin.

The more deeply he had once loved her, the more resolutely she now rejected him. Love no longer mattered. All she wanted was to escape the cage that held her captive.
