What does it feel like to be reborn? When Consort Hua opened her eyes again after endless darkness, the familiar sight before her left her dazed for a moment. She, Nian Shilan, the woman who had once been overbearing and audacious in the Forbidden City, who loved and hated with all her heart, had come back to life.
She looked around the chambers where she had once lived. Everything was just as it had been, yet somehow entirely different. Memories of old grudges, love, and heartbreak surged through her like a tide. She remembered her past life, and the deep love she had felt for the Emperor, only to meet a tragic end. The Joyful Fragrance, all the schemes and betrayals, had pierced her heart with pain.
