[Reborn bride swap + marriage before love + both virgins + clear-headed heroine + household and political scheming + intelligent leads]
In her previous life, Yue Anning married a fake prince and did everything she could to help him ascend the throne. But the day she was crowned empress became the day she died: the new emperor plunged a sword into her abdomen.
Reborn on her wedding night, she heads straight to the Duke of Rong’s residence and switches places with her younger sister, who is getting married on the same day, making it look as though the wrong bride was sent to the wrong household.
This time, she won’t let the fake prince take the throne. She’ll put the true prince in his rightful place.
Once her work is done, she’ll retire and roam the world.
But the true prince won’t give her the chance. He kneels before her with all his heart and begs her to become his empress.
“You want one person for a lifetime? I swear to the heavens: in this life, no, in every life to come, I will never let Ning’er down.”
“The court officials won’t agree.”
“What does my family business have to do with them? Anyone who dares to gossip, I’ll kill them.”
She’s moved by such a domineering emperor, but... freedom in the martial world still sounds better!
Should she run away while pregnant?
