In her previous life, she was the empress who publicly divorced her husband.
After her family was wiped out overnight, she threw herself off a bridge, severing all ties and forsaking love.
Reborn, she finds herself the lowliest maid in the household of her sworn enemy, a marquis.
With a second life, she has only one wish: stay away from that worthless emperor and never repeat her past mistakes.
She carefully plans every move, helping her timid master establish herself. She even hopes to pair the worthless emperor with her sworn enemy, so they can marry each other and leave her out of it forever.
But who could have guessed…
The emperor, supreme ruler of the realm, has his eyes fixed firmly on her, a mere maid.
The emperor wants to marry a maid from the marquis's household?
Her sworn enemy is so furious she nearly spits blood. Has the emperor gone mad?
Even worse, this wretched girl actually refuses?
What a joke. What emperor is ever truly sincere?
She's not stupid. Why would she fall into the same trap twice?
Stay away. Don't get involved.
The entire court thinks this insolent woman is doomed, that she'll be ground to dust for sure.
Just as she's packing her things, ready to flee in the dead of night,
the Grand Chancellor arrives in person with the imperial insignia, leading the civil and military officials as they all kneel before her.
Their voices ring through the heavens: “Welcome back to the palace, Your Majesty the Empress!”
