Reborn, I Poisoned My Emperor Husband

I was the legitimate daughter of a family of generals. I married him at fourteen and became empress, but he believed slander and slaughtered my entire family.

In the Cold Palace, he gripped my chin and said, “Empress, your family’s heads are hanging on the palace gates.”

When I opened my eyes again, I had become the daughter of a fifth-rank official, selected as a palace consort.

The emperor fell in love with me at first sight and made me a consort above my station, spending every night in my palace.

For my sake, he stripped the Noble Consort of her title and demoted the Worthy Consort, saying I was the love of his life.

I smiled and played along, while hiding poison beneath my pillow.

The day the truth came to light, I set poisoned wine on the imperial desk. “Your Majesty, it’s time to take your medicine.”

He drank it willingly, then smiled and asked me, “This time, can you be only my wife?”

The palace gates slammed shut. I held his body as it grew cold and drank the second cup.
