The Sweetheart Uses Her Beauty, and the Cold Emperor Falls Hard for Her

Synopsis: [Palace intrigue + reborn and taking revenge on scoundrels + falling deeper at every turn + a powerful man humbles himself for love + possessive pursuit + devoted love in the later stages]

Qin Yiyan, the Noble Consort Chen, is dead, hacked to death with a flurry of sword strikes by her childhood friend, younger sister, and political rival...

She opens her eyes and finds herself back more than a decade earlier, amid a raging fire. She thinks, Let the flames spread until they consume everything!

She will have her revenge, fight for love, and seize power!

Even if she has to change course, she will ascend to the highest throne in the resplendent palace.

She enters the game herself. A peerlessly beautiful young woman arrives at court, outshining all the consorts and catching the emperor's eye.

The emperor's feigned favor makes the palace consorts green with envy. They pick on the seemingly meek Qin Cairen, squeezing her once, twice, again and again! Huh? Something's not right. Why won't she budge? And instead... the emperor acts as if he sees nothing, then gathers her in his arms and soothes her.

The emperor, cool and aloof at first: “She's just a pretty pawn. I'll take her to bed, but never to heart.”

The emperor, gradually falling for her: “You want my favor? It's yours! A higher rank? Granted!”

The emperor, completely smitten: “I'll give her everything! The empress's throne, a place in court to hear state affairs... Sweetheart, couldn't you love me just a little more?”

Little Qin: “I've made up my mind. This battle must be fought!”

The court officials: “The wicked empress will ruin the country! A woman taking charge of the court will bring chaos to the realm! Your Majesty, depose Empress Qin!”

Little Xie: “Shall I give you the Shang Yang package, the Shangguan Yi package, the Huang Chao package...? Anyone interested?”

Xie Heng: “ [Loving you is as easy as breathing. The love I want to give you ranges from negative infinity to positive infinity.]

Imperial Favor: The range of F(x) is (-∞, +∞)

A pervert?

A madman?

Never!

Xie Heng: “I only go crazy for my sweetheart.”

Bitter fruit is still fruit!
