In her previous life, she gave him everything, only to see her entire family condemned to death and slaughtered at the execution grounds.
Reborn, Shen Qingci tears up her marriage contract with her own hands and turns around to marry the laughingstock of the capital: a frail, reclusive imperial uncle with paralyzed legs.
Everyone mocks her for being blind, never realizing that the husband she chose is the real mastermind behind the scenes.
She uses gentleness as a blade, carefully luring her enemies into a deadly trap.
He uses his frailty as a shield, secretly weaving a net to draw all under heaven into his grasp.
When the Third Prince is riding high, convinced the Eastern Palace is already his,
she leans against her imperial uncle and smiles sweetly. "Dear nephew, you should call me... Auntie."
Later, the crippled imperial uncle rises to his feet and ascends the throne.
Taking her hand, he proclaims to all under heaven, "In this life, I will have no one in my harem but the Empress. We will enjoy this vast empire together."
This is a story of rebirth, revenge, mutual salvation, and standing together at the summit.
