In her previous life, Jiang Li lived for her fiancé's promise: "Li'er, when I ascend the throne and become emperor, I will make you my empress."
She poured her heart and soul into it, devoting every last ounce of strength to a bubble that could be burst with a single touch...
After finally getting him onto the supreme throne in the Golden Hall, she watched him turn around and place the phoenix crown symbolizing the empress's position on another woman's head...
And that woman was her dear "sister," the one she'd grown up with...
As for Jiang Li, all she gained was the ruin of her family. The entire Jiang household in the capital was thrown into prison, while her maternal uncle's Su family, far away in Jiangnan, was executed to the last person. In an instant, the two households and all 601 people in them were wiped out.
And the man who had been her whole heart said that the Jiang family deserved it all.
So this was how it was... All these years of support had ultimately been wasted on a dog.
