Reborn as the Su Family's Legitimate Daughter: Whoever Wants to Be Empress Can Have the Job

Dual Rebirth + Household Intrigue + Palace Intrigue + Heartbreaking Romance + Power Struggles + The Nation and Its People + Chasing His Wife to the Crematorium

In her previous life, Su Yunzhi, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Personnel, devoted her entire clan's power to helping the third prince ascend the throne. In return, the entire Su family was sentenced to death for "treason." Her father and brothers were beheaded, the women of her family were forced into prostitution, and she was imprisoned in Changmen Palace, where she endured brutal torture: her tongue was cut out, the tendons in her hands were severed, and both her legs were broken. In the end, she was thrown alive into a dry well and buried beneath a pile of rocks! Only as she drew her last breath did she learn that she had been nothing but the most tragic sacrifice in the struggle for imperial power.

When she opened her eyes again, she had been reborn on the day of her coming-of-age ceremony! The wheels of fate began turning anew, and searing hatred burned in her heart. To hell with being empress! To hell with the third prince, Xiao. In this life, Su Yunzhi had only one goal: stay away from imperial power and keep her family safe! She wanted nothing to do with scoundrels or hopeless romantics!

But how could she so easily escape her fate?

Worse still, she discovered that in her previous life, the eldest prince, Xiao Mingyuan, had fought his way through the imperial palace for her, then prepared a grand bridal procession to bring her body home and bury it beside his. He, too, had been reborn with all his memories, and his love for her burned even more fiercely! Time and again, he "accidentally" ran into her. Time and again, he risked his life to protect her. His gaze was complicated and profound, hiding the elation of finding her again and a pain buried deep in his bones.

She fought him off and tried to keep her distance, but with every time he risked his life to protect her, and every revelation about how he had gone mad for her at the end of their previous life, her defenses crumbled. Just as she finally realized she had already fallen for him, the man she had pushed away so ruthlessly, the man whose heart she had deeply wounded, turned and walked away...

This time, she would be the one to take the initiative! The struggle for imperial power erupted anew, with conspiracies and assassins lurking everywhere. Su Yunzhi resolved to win back the man who had lost all hope. It felt great to break his heart for a moment, but chasing him back would be a whole different ordeal!
