[Body Swap + No Romance + Palace Intrigue + Somewhat Scummy + Keep the Child, Leave the Father]
Deposed empress Pei Xixi gives birth in the Cold Palace, only for a mysterious person to secretly switch her baby with another. Then her half-sister takes the heart’s blood of her “daughter” to use as medicine for the scummy emperor.
After sleeping for a while, she wakes to discover that she and the scummy emperor have switched bodies. Since Heaven cannot bear to see her and her maternal grandfather’s family meet their end,
she will naturally seize the sword of power and repay every wrong in kind. Her half-sister and the noble consort conspired to send her to the Cold Palace? She’ll pay them back twice over!
Her scummy father schemed for power with the Empress Dowager, while her stepmother had her mother killed and framed her maternal grandfather’s family for treason? She’ll make sure the Chancellor’s residence ceases to exist.
The scummy emperor wanted the heart’s blood of her “daughter” as medicine, and even accused her maternal grandfather, the general guarding the border, of treason?
Then she’ll take her time and make sure the charge sticks!
Scummy Emperor: Pei Xixi, what gives you the right to enjoy wealth and glory in my body while making me endure the abuse and torment of your consorts? This isn’t fair.
Pei Xixi: Heh. You brought it on yourself.
Scummy Emperor: Why is it that after we switched back, I regained the throne but still couldn’t beat you?
Pei Xixi: Because I plan ahead, and I’m better than you at everything!
