I’m Reborn, So Why Would I Become a Madwoman in the Cold Palace?

Just days after entering the palace, Ye Suyan was made a consort. Everyone thought the emperor would favor her and that she had a bright future ahead, but then they discovered he never summoned her to his bed at all. Barely three months after her arrival, before she had even seen the emperor, she was sent to the Cold Palace. The reason: her father, Marshal Ye Xiao, had been accused of treason and colluding with the enemy. The marshal's residence was confiscated, her father was exiled, and after three years in the Cold Palace, Ye Suyan had long since lost her mind. In the end, she died a miserable death, wrapped in a straw mat and tossed into a mass grave. When she opened her eyes again, she was reborn at the moment she had first entered the palace. As the new consorts chatted, she heard that a fearsome general was staying at Tingyu Villa. Ye Suyan thought that if she could bond with the general and join forces with him against the emperor, she might change the fate of her entire family. So she went there at night. She found the general practicing his swordsmanship, and when Ye Suyan peered over the wall, he stabbed her in the arm. But when he looked closer, he saw a peerless beauty, and his heart, and then his body, stirred… From then on, the two met every night at the villa. Ye Suyan only told him she was a maid named Ruoxi. She had no idea that the legendary general was actually the emperor. Months later, when Ye Suyan discovered she was carrying the general's child, she urged him to kill the emperor and take his place. The general was speechless. He was the emperor! How was he supposed to explain that to her…
