[Not mutually faithful + feel-good revenge + reborn + legitimate daughter + ultimately his one and only]
She was the legitimate eldest daughter of the Chancellor’s household. By the late emperor’s decree, she entered the Eastern Palace and was made a secondary consort. Though she had once been blessed with every advantage, the Crown Princess joined forces with the Crown Prince’s other consorts to pin a scandal on her, ruining her reputation. Not long after, the Crown Prince ascended the throne and made her a Noble Consort, but the rumors still would not stop. The empress once again framed her for plotting against a prince, and the emperor grew more distant from her with every passing day, until he finally banished her to the Cold Palace.
Life in the Cold Palace was worse than death. In utter despair, she chose to end her own life. But fate played a cruel joke on her, and she was reborn in the summer before she entered the Eastern Palace.
In this life, she will plan every move, kill her enemies with her own hands, and claim the throne as empress.
