The Central Palace: Spring Runs Deep in the Begonias

[Rebirth + emperor and empress + palace intrigue + political schemes + serious drama + not a revenge power fantasy]

Nie Qingran was once the daughter of a family of boundless wealth. Now she is the most honored woman in the realm, the emperor’s wife since their youth. Though her family has been destroyed and she has borne no children for years, the deep bond between the emperor and empress, along with their shared history as young lovers, has kept her securely on the throne. No one can challenge her.

But only when she learns the truth does Nie Qingran discover the agony of being flayed alive and having her bones scraped clean. Everyone she trusted with her heart has betrayed her. The love she once cherished has become a volley of arrows aimed at her. It is unbearably tragic. Years of toil have worn her down, and her body was already broken; at last, death comes. Fortunately, death has long since lost its terror for her, replaced by an unfamiliar sense of anticipation. At last, she returns to her girlhood, to the warmth of a life sheltered by her father and brothers and cherished by her mother.

But when she awakens from the dream, she has returned to the past and found herself trapped in a cage. At least none of the sins have yet been committed.

How will she break this deadlock this time...?
