Jiang Li was empress, yet bore all the blame for bringing ruin to the empire. The favor she thought she enjoyed was a shackle, the husband she trusted was her enemy, and even her own family saw her as a pawn they could discard at any time. In the end, she was condemned to die in the Cold Palace with a cup of poisoned wine.
In her final moments, the one who brought her a bowl of leftovers was the deposed crown prince “little brother,” the very boy she had personally crushed and who hated her to the bone. He was covered in wounds and had risked his life to reach her.
Reborn at sixteen, just after entering the palace as a consort, she wanted none of that false phoenix throne this time. She would help him ascend the throne and become the Regent Princess, a woman who held the empire in the palm of her hand!
For revenge, she went to the young man hiding in the Cold Palace, who regarded her with nothing but hostility.
She said, “Give me this empire. I will clear every obstacle and protect your path to the throne.”
Like a lone wolf, he eyed her warily and sneered, “Why should I trust you?”
She said, “Because of me, and because of you.”
She could outwit cruel servants and scheming favorites, and manipulate even the lofty emperor as if he were putty in her hands.
Later, he truly came to rule the empire, becoming a new emperor who tolerated no dissent.
At court, as the people bowed their heads, the young emperor, once torn between love and hatred for her, gazed at her and asked, “I will share half my empire with you. Royal sister, will you be my empress?”
She had paved his road to the throne, but now, under the gaze of all, she gently shook her head.
“Your Majesty, the thing I have always wanted was never the position of empress.”
