[A queen who transmigrates onto the execution block vs. the cold-blooded emperor of the Yin Dynasty]
The very first second after I transmigrated into the body of the deposed empress, I was kneeling on the execution block.
The eunuch overseeing the execution unfurled the imperial edict. “The disgraced Su woman has sullied the imperial harem. Execute her at once!”
The commoners below cheered. “Kill that wanton!”
As the executioner raised his blade, I suddenly heard his thoughts:
“The imperial seal on this edict is fake. The empress has been framed.”
I tore the edict to shreds. “Your Majesty, did a dog chew up your imperial seal?”
The emperor narrowed his eyes from the city tower. “Take her to the imperial prison.”
The new empress came to silence me that night, but I heard her thoughts:
“How did this fool know the seal had a chipped corner? Unless she’s seen the real one…”
I smiled. “Sister, which shop made your fake imperial seal?”
