Reborn with Great Fortune, I Switched Husbands and Became the Empress Dowager

Since childhood, I’ve known that I carry a strange kind of fortune.

Anyone I favor will rise swiftly and enjoy lasting blessings;

anyone I loathe will be dogged by misfortune and meet a grim end.

I used that fortune to help the frail prince Xiao Yunlan, whom the Imperial Preceptor had declared would not live past twenty, become emperor.

The first imperial edict he issued after ascending the throne was to sentence me to death by white silk.

More laughable still, the charge was that I had been unfaithful.

Only in my final moments did I finally understand that he had never loved me.

Those tender moments spent cheek to cheek, those promises of eternal love,

were all for the Zhao family’s four hundred thousand elite soldiers.

Fortunately, Heaven gave me the chance to live again.

In this life, as Xiao Yunlan stood in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the lot tube that foretold a Heaven-appointed match was spun twelve times.

My name never appeared, not once.
