A palace-intrigue rebirth story, about a woman rising to the clouds.
[Palace intrigue, not an exclusive pairing]
In her previous life, Zhou Shuyi had a happy and fulfilling life. But when the new emperor ascended the throne, the Chancellor’s family fell into decline, her father-in-law died in battle, and her husband left for the front lines. A portrait left her trapped in the imperial palace.
Her mother threw herself against the palace gates, and her husband’s blood stained the Zichen Hall. Zhou Shuyi died with hatred in her heart.
Only after death did she learn that she had been living in a novel, and that she was the heroine all along...
But she didn’t want any of that!
Reborn into a new life, Zhou Shuyi enters the palace of her own accord. She will climb to the top!
Rise to the clouds!
Years later:
“Jing Niang, I’ve learned how to love someone...”
“Why should I wait for you?”
“Ziqing treats you so well and loves you more than life itself. Why would you treat him this way?”
“He loves me, so does that mean I have to love him?”
“He’s your child too!”
“He only cares about you, his father, not me, his mother. Enough. Human nature is wicked, and everyone just pursues their own interests. If he won’t stand with me, then I’ll cast him aside!”
Since ancient times, emperors have risen to power by trampling over the bones and blood of others.
She lost her child and the enviable love she shared with the emperor, but gained the entire realm and united the land.
I hope she can be an empress
