[Both leads are each other's only one + reborn for revenge + kill the emperor + raise a future empress + play matchmaker + raise kids]
[A spirited daughter of a royal merchant family vs. an affectionate, jealous head of an aristocratic clan]
After the emperor had me executed twice, I was reborn on the day I came of age.
The prince's estate was destroyed twice,
my husband was killed twice,
and even my child died in the womb twice.
When I opened my eyes in my third life, I was back on the day I came of age.
Given the choice between killing the emperor and tormenting him, Yun Yao decisively chose the latter.
After all, killing him would be far too easy on him. She would make him lose everything, little by little.
Yun Yao decides to join forces with the empress and put the heaven-blessed girl in the empress's womb on the throne.
Yun Yao: In my previous life, the emperor used my junior apprentice brother to destroy the prince's estate. In this life, I'll have the prince he loves most kill him with his own hands.
And naturally, the throne will go to the little princess with Luo family blood, the one he fears most.
Raising a future empress and playing matchmaker, she gradually turns her household into a “school for future emperors.”
Let's see how Yun Yao can take on the emperor and wage wars on the outside, while playing matchmaker and raising children at home, including all the children of the emperors around her.
On the emperor's umpteenth day bedridden,
and after the little empress had said “I want to go play” for the eighth time that day,
Yun Yao finally breaks down and stares at the little girl before her. “Is this really the ruler I'm defying fate to support? Huh?”
