In his previous life, he was the loneliest emperor in the Forbidden City.
Yixiu died tragically in the Cold Palace; Consort Hua slammed herself against a wall; Chun’er drowned; Lingrong swallowed an apricot; Meizhuang bled to death; and Zhen Huan spent her days alone in the deep palace.
The entire palace was filled with heartbreak, and every word was his regret.
Reborn, the Emperor awoke from a blood-soaked nightmare of the past.
In this life, he would not be an emperor who weighed the fate of the realm. He would simply be a man seeking to make amends.
He abolished the Huan Yi fragrance and kept Consort Hua safe; posthumously honored Honghui to ease Yixiu’s lifelong obsession; and banned musk to protect the palace’s unborn children.
No palace intrigue, no stand-ins, and no one left unloved.
Broken dreams were mended, and everyone found peace.
With the tenderness of the rest of his life, he filled every void of regret.
