Xia Yuhe Is Reborn as Empress

## Reborn Once More, I’m Determined to Become Empress

> I opened my eyes and found myself back in the year of the Qianlong Emperor’s southern tour.

> In my previous life, he told me, “Wait until I return to the capital, and I’ll come for you.” What awaited me instead was my body reduced to ashes beside Daming Lake.

> This time, I knelt before the imperial carriage. “Your Majesty, I beg you to take this commoner into the palace.”

> He smiled and lifted my chin. “A Han woman wants to become a consort?”

> Later, on the night I claimed the phoenix seal, I leaned close to his ear and laughed softly:

> “Your Majesty, do you know… I was never waiting for your favor.”

> “I wanted to know if the pearls on the phoenix crown would be bright enough to light up the night of my past life.”
