After dying miserably from eating bitter almonds in her previous life, An Lingrong opens her eyes again and finds herself back in the year she first entered the palace.
In this new life, she watches all the false affection with cool detachment and vows never to be anyone’s pawn again!
She also awakens a human-shaped soothing aura: anyone near her can be cured of fatigue, insomnia, and migraines.
To secure her position, she takes the right to raise the Third Prince away from Consort Qi and brings four-year-old Hongshi up under her own care.
Who knew the Third Prince would have a modern goofball inside him, and even come with a Brat System?
Hongshi swings from Fourth Master’s beard like it’s a swing, smears mustard on the imperial brush used to review memorials, and even soaks the dragon robe with his pee.
Yongzheng, furious and red-eyed, kicks open the gates of Yanxi Palace with a knife in hand. “An Lingrong! Look at the wonderful son you’ve raised!”
An Lingrong calmly offers him tea while secretly activating her soothing aura.
The enraged Fourth Master catches the exotic fragrance on her and suddenly relaxes. His years-long headache vanishes, and he falls asleep on her bed for three whole days and nights!
After waking, Fourth Master looks at An Lingrong in a completely different light.
A day without her leaves him irritable and restless; three days without her and he looks like a walking corpse.
“Consort Hua is beautiful? Too loud. She gives me a headache.”
“Noble Lady Wan is a charming confidante? Too calculating. She wears me out.”
“Only Lingrong is the medicine fate has chosen for me!”
To keep this “medicine,” which lets him feel at ease in body and mind, all to himself, the cold-faced emperor transforms into both an overprotective husband and a doting father.
He tears cruel servants apart, kicks the wicked empress, and takes down one scheming innocent-seeming beauty after another!
Holding Hongshi in her arms and munching on melon seeds as she watches the show, An Lingrong looks utterly innocent. “Wait, I haven’t even started fighting for favor. How did I end up the most noble Empress Dowager in all of the Qing Dynasty?”
