Caged Sparrow

[Above the nine tiers of palace halls, in the emperor's golden palace, the greatest wealth comes with the deepest loneliness. For a hundred years, the cold has seeped to the bone. All she ever wished for was to hold someone's hand and sleep together until dawn.] Before Empress Xihe died, she had three obsessions. One was that Li Jingxing should love without being loved in return, yearn without ever attaining what he desired, and possess a vast empire while enduring boundless solitude. So, after being reborn, Li Yihuan was never able to fall in love with Rong Yu. Li Jingxing gave up the looks, character, and riches of his next life, trading them to save her lover as repayment. That was her second obsession. Later, he knelt on one knee and offered her the world, fulfilling her final obsession. Main characters: Li Yihuan (Xihe), Rong Yu (Jingxing), Lou Jiaruo (Xihuai)… A cold and heartless woman vs. a darkened, obsessive man
