Reborn, I Leap into the Emperor's Arms and Beg for His Affection. I'm Not Running Anymore

[Both inexperienced and devoted + confident, unyielding, radiant beauty X perceptive, taciturn, scheming emperor + his one and only + both reborn]

In the second year of being empress, Shen Zhen sided with her cousin, Prince Jin, when he chose to rebel. She became a pawn and died on the road while fleeing.

When she opened her eyes, she was back in the warm bedchamber, with Emperor Xiao Yan holding her tightly.

Seeing that she was whole and unharmed, Shen Zhen burst into tears.

Then she turned the truth on its head and played for sympathy. “Your Majesty, I dreamed you had other favored consorts and stopped loving me. You even let them frame me. I was so scared.”

Xiao Yan looked coolly at her act of terror and played along.

“My empress is so pitiful. Everyone who framed you deserves to die.”

Shen Zhen took advantage of his indulgence.

“Your Majesty, I want a child too.”

“Then let's not waste time. Today it is!”

Xiao Yan watched Shen Zhen, reborn, weep and cling to his leg, her words making it clear she was determined to hold on to him for dear life.

He was amused, exasperated, and touched.

He quietly watched Shen Zhen stand before the bed, acting with passionate enthusiasm, her face flushed, waving her arms and beaming, tears on her little face.

Then he started acting too.
