[Reborn, tragic romance between emperor and empress, countdown to a fated end]
Shen Qingge died three times before she finally earned a happy ending that history never recorded...
◇ First Life: A Fatal Misunderstanding
Noble Consort Qi offered her a cup of tea. “The Emperor likes my calming tea best, Your Highness.”
Smiling, she drank the poisoned tea. As she lay dying, she saw Mingde charge in with a sword and pierce Noble Consort Qi through the throat, roaring, “Qingge... I never wanted to hurt you!”
◇ Second Life: The Caged Phoenix
Reborn, she hid her pregnancy and knelt in the snow. “I am willing to eliminate the Qi family for Your Majesty.”
Mingde instead held her tight, trembling. “I never wanted you to be my weapon.”
On the night she hemorrhaged during childbirth, he cut his wrist and knelt, begging the gods, “Take my life in exchange for hers!”
◇ Third Life: Heaven Ablaze
The Empress Dowager smashed her prayer beads. “Shen Qingge! A woman who becomes emperor will be punished by Heaven!”
She strode over the memorials, the bloodstains on her wrist burning like flames. “I've faced the King of Hell. Why should I fear Heaven's punishment?”
She lifted the ban on maritime trade, quelled the plague, and reclaimed the lands north of the desert...
History praised her as the greatest empress of all time, never knowing that every strand of white hair was etched with a countdown.
◇ The End: Spring Returns
In the blaze on the altar, she cut her wrist and stained the astrolabe with her blood. “Let the people of this world live.”
When she opened her eyes again, she was young, at the spring hunt.
Mingde rode up to block her path, a white jade hairpin stained with blood in his palm.
“Miss Shen, would you come back to the palace with me to look for this hairpin?”
Peach blossoms fell like rain, and the scars of her past life melted into spring soil.
With the courage of three lifetimes, break free of Heaven's fatal trap
