Two dreams of Kunning Palace, one lifetime’s promise in blue robes
The day Yan Qingge died, the peach blossoms in Kunning Palace were in full bloom.
She was the most notorious evil empress of the Great Liang dynasty, doted on by the emperor. She used the imperial seal to crack walnuts, while the other palace halls stood empty. Yet in her heart, she kept the memory of Jiang Yinzhou, the humble-born censor who had knelt in the snow to remonstrate with the emperor.
When the rebels breached the city, she learned that he had already taken countless arrows for her. That night, she slit her wrists.
When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the year she first came back to the Yan family at the age of thirteen.
In this life, she wanted nothing to do with being a crown princess, becoming empress, or wielding boundless power.
All she wanted was Jiang Yinzhou.
And so, a strange thing happened in the capital:
The haughty, headstrong legitimate daughter of the Minister of Court Protocols suddenly changed her ways.
Every day, she ran to the Hanlin Academy, chasing after a poor compiler in plain blue robes.
“Jiang Yinzhou, will you marry me?”
“Lord Jiang, I like you. Will you like me too?”
“Lord Censor… your ears are turning red.”
Jiang Yinzhou thought the eldest Miss Yan must have gone mad.
Born to a humble family, he strictly observed propriety and had always hoped to serve as an upright official, remain incorruptible, and make his name in the history books.
Yet now a girl with a cinnabar mole at the corner of her eye was pursuing him, claiming she had died once and that they were fated across two lifetimes.
He should have avoided her at all costs.
So why did his heart ache when he saw her tears?
Why, in the middle of the night, did he keep dreaming of heavy snow in Kunning Palace, where a woman’s wrist bled as she called his name?

I don't know why no one has given you feedback, but your writing style is excellent, the content is detailed and rich, it's just that the plot is a bit simplistic and overly complicated. Multiple storylines would be better. I encourage you to continue! I'm your first fan!
