[Reborn imperial concubine × cold-faced emperor, heroine with online IQ × affectionate and sinister male protagonist, double clean, single favorite, 1v1]
Shen Zhaoning died once.
Died in the cold palace, died in the severe pain of poisonous wine piercing the intestines, died in the trembling arms of the always upright emperor holding her. Before she died, she heard him say - "I failed to protect you."
She didn't understand. She didn't understand anything in her previous life. She didn't understand what was hidden in the tea that the queen handed to her with a smile, what plot was behind Concubine De's gentle words, and why the cold-faced emperor, who never looked at her in the eyes, had red eyes before she died.
When she opened her eyes again, she went back to the first day when she was named a noble concubine.
If she had to do it again, she vowed to live well. She learned the rules, read the law, and followed every step of the way, thinking that this was a dead end in which she was fighting alone. But she found that every time someone wanted to harm her, someone took action before her.
Concubine Shu spread rumors about her, and Concubine Shu's monthly schedule was reduced by half. The queen put eyeliner on her, and the eyeliner was sent to sweep the yard. The Queen Mother gave her "punishment tea", and the Emperor summoned her to the imperial study late at night.
Only then did she realize that the cold-faced emperor she had been hiding from all her life in her previous life had been hiding from her sight, blocking all the knives for her.
And there was a painting hidden on his case that he had painted for a long, long time.
The person in the painting is her.
