Blurb One
When the new emperor ascended the throne, Crown Princess Fan Qiang naturally became empress.
She had thought theirs would be a story of a harmonious imperial couple, bound by deep affection and an old love. But it turned out the empress was reborn.
In her previous life, Fan Qiang died a miserable death in the Cold Palace. In this life, knowing she had loved the wrong man, she decided to set herself the small goal of becoming empress dowager.
Blurb Two:
In his previous life, the Grand General Zhao Yan took a fancy to a lovely young woman and wanted to marry her.
But before she came of age, the old emperor sent him away to guard the borders. He thought he would marry her once he had made a name for himself, but she married someone else and became crown princess. The next time he heard news of her, she had already died a miserable death in the Cold Palace. In this life, Zhao Yan returned to the capital early for the sole purpose of marrying her.
The young woman Zhao Yan had set his heart on became empress. He thought that since she was empress, he might as well seize the throne. He couldn't bear to put her through any trouble.
Little Scene:
The great general, who never returned to the capital in his previous life before Fan Qiang died, came back early this time and even offered her his support.
Fan Qiang took it as a godsend and readily accepted.
Late one night
The young general sneaked into the empress's chambers and confessed in roundabout terms: “I want to be emperor.”
Fan Qiang kept reading her novel and replied indifferently, “I only want to be empress dowager.”
Zhao Yan: ... (I want to marry a wife, but my wife only wants to claim a son?)
