After the Noble Consort Cast Off All Desire, the Crown Prince Fought Everyone for Her

(Palace and household intrigue + reborn for revenge + entering the game herself) The Gu family’s twin daughters were considered ill omens. Gu Jinshu, the younger sister, was sent to a Taoist temple to practice from a young age. When she turned seventeen, her family brought her home. It turned out that her twin elder sister, a noble consort, had died at home during a visit to her family. Fearing the emperor’s wrath, the family wanted Jinshu to enter the palace in her sister’s place. Over ten years in the palace, she found her sister’s killer, helped her family rise to power, and granted her fiancé’s family every favor they asked for. She devoted herself to raising the Third Prince, and when the emperor died, she became the revered Empress Dowager. She had poured her whole heart into becoming the pillar her family could rely on. She thought at last her good days had come. But her twin sister had faked her death. Together with the Gu family, she poisoned Jinshu on a snowy night so that her sister could become the revered Empress Dowager. Reborn, she returned to the day before she entered the palace. Her fiancé deceived her tenderly: “If you enter the palace, I’ll wait for you and stay by your side all my life. I’ll never marry anyone else.” Her parents coaxed her: “Jinshu, your elder sister is dead. She died at home. If the palace finds out, our entire family will be doomed. You’re the hope of our family.” She knew her sister had faked her death because she was carrying her fiancé’s child. She also knew that the Gu family saw her as a venomous snake, scheming against her behind her back and exploiting her until there was nothing left, all so they could make way for her sister. This time, she would not let them have their way. She would enter the palace, and she would become Empress Dowager. But after the late emperor died, she did not become Empress Dowager. Instead, she became the new emperor’s empress.
