Reborn as the Empress's Love Rival? I Choose the Empress's Conquest

[Dual Female Leads] [Ancient-Era Yuri] [Lighthearted, Sweet Romance]

After getting her hands on the script of a scumbag's ex's dramatic escape, Shu Zhao had planned to live it up and enjoy her freedom.

Then an imperial edict arrived, sending her into the palace to become a consort.

Shu Zhao had no choice but to obey.

On the night she entered the palace, the woman she'd flirted with since arriving in this other world, the legendary empress whose name would be remembered for ages, gently lifted her bridal veil.

"Aren't we good friends? I remember you telling me that between good friends... holding hands and spending the night together isn't a big deal."

Shu Zhao's inner thoughts: ...Did my idea of spending the night together mean the same thing as yours?!

Lin Ciyu had always believed that once she became emperor, no one would ever want to be near her simply for who she was.

Then she met Shu Zhao.

Shu Zhao tore through her defenses like a burglar breaking into her home.

"Susu, my life, and I myself, are both terribly dull. Do you still like me this way?"

Shu Zhao nodded without hesitation.

"You don't have to do anything special. Just knowing I can look back and see you makes me feel at ease. When I see you, the world feels real to me."
