After my death, my soul wandered in the harem for decades, watching Zhen Huan ascend to the position of Queen Mother step by step.
It was then that I realized that I was just an insignificant supporting character in a book.
In this life, I don't hate anyone, nor do I blame anyone, I just don't want to—
Unwilling to be ignored, unwilling to never be truly loved.
If I could do it all over again, I would never want to be anyone's foil again.
When I open my eyes again, I go back to three months before the draft.
In this life, I will no longer humble myself, no longer bother to please, and no longer sacrifice myself in order to survive.
I took back the power of running the family for my mother, and used my embroidery skills to reshape the family situation. After entering the palace, I took care of every step, not taking the initiative to harm others, but I would never allow others to bully me.
I took over Concubine Hua's difficulties, the Queen's plot, and the turmoil in the previous dynasty one by one, and resolved them one by one.
I also met a few friends who treat me sincerely, and I am no longer alone.
I never thought about competing for favor.
But the emperor who was supposed to be ruthless walked towards me again and again.
He said: "An Lingrong, what I want to hear is your own voice."
He said: "In this life, you will no longer be someone's substitute."
