Yixiu Is Reborn with Help from Empress Lu

First, a heads-up, everyone: this story is not kind to Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang, and it differs quite a bit from Empresses in the Palace. Beneath the red walls and green-tiled roofs of the Forbidden City, an astonishing pact is quietly forged. In her previous life, Ulanara Yixiu died full of resentment in Jingren Palace, having watched her beloved son die, her husband turn against her, and her family abandon her. When she opens her eyes again, she has returned to the day of her wedding to Yongzheng, back when he was still a prince. Wedding candles flicker, and murderous intent lurks beneath the surface. This time, she vows to protect her child, reclaim power, and trample underfoot everyone who wronged her! But fate is utterly upended by a soul that enters her body unexpectedly: the powerful spirit of Lü Zhi, founding empress of the Han Dynasty, comes to share her life. One is a woman of the inner palace, hurt by love and skilled at scheming; the other is a ruthless empress who ruled an empire stretching thousands of miles. From now on, Yixiu will be more than just Yixiu. This is a joint revenge undertaken by two desperate women across time, and a paean to power that rises from the harem to the imperial court. When Yixiu sits upon the phoenix throne, surveying all beneath her, she exchanges a smile with Lü Zhi in her mind. In this life, they will not only master their own fates, but join forces to build an iron-fisted empire of their own, one that will also belong to the future emperor Honghui.
