Ming Si was an empress, yet she failed to hold on to her empire and became the laughingstock of the world, remembered as the ruler who lost her country.
When the rebels stormed the city, she didn’t run. When they broke into the palace, she didn’t cry. When they stood before her, she could only smile wryly. Who could have guessed that the one who overthrew her would be the man she had once been closest to?
She died, and the System told her she’d won the grand prize.
Being reborn? Now that was unusual.
She clicked the button and started over.
Ming Si got her wish and was reborn, given another chance at life.
But why had she become someone else?
An empress had turned into a farmer’s daughter?
How was she supposed to save her country now?
The first man she got as a free bonus was Li Chengan, the original owner’s childhood sweetheart.
The young man wore his affection plainly on his face. Anyone could see it at a glance.
Jiang Lingyue gladly accepted him.
As the principal husband, he was very magnanimous, though he was always secretly jealous.
The second man she got as a free bonus was a wealthy young master she had been engaged to since childhood.
Jiang Lingyue didn’t feel any particular fondness for him. He made her unhappy as soon as she transmigrated, so why would she like him?
But this green-tea pretty boy offered himself up, and he was exceptionally good at smoothing things over.
Later, he said, “I’ll enter government service for you and pave the way, then we’ll part.”
The third man she got as a free bonus was Jiang Lin, an assassin she had picked up during the war.
He was completely unreasonable and kept telling Jiang Lingyue to get lost.
But before long, he was begging, “Don’t abandon me. I’ll kill anyone you want.”
That’s how quickly you can train a dog.
The fourth man she got as a free bonus was Wu Xingjun, the one bound to her most deeply and the man who had brought down her kingdom.
Jiang Lingyue was momentarily dazed when she ran into him by chance.
Fortunately, her identity was different now, so he shouldn’t recognize her.
Until he said, “Yangyang? Why are you running?”
