【Unhinged empress * cool, aloof Imperial Preceptor + forced love + both reborn + tragic romance, both leads suffer】
In my previous life, on my wedding day, my Imperial Consort died in the Cold Palace.
He was always arrogant.
Arrogant when he betrayed me, arrogant when he filled the harem with other people, and so arrogant that, over something I said, he even destroyed his own eyes.
But he was naive, too. He thought death could free him from me. Of course it couldn’t...
Even if we both fell into the underworld, he could never escape me. I would cling to him for all eternity.
I never expected to be reborn. I rushed off, desperate to find him, only to see a young man sitting upright, his eyes covered in white gauze that was soaked with blood.
He had been reborn, too.
“Your Majesty, I, Shen Qingzhu, will not be anyone’s replacement.”
But from beginning to end, he had never been a replacement to me.
Even saints have selfish desires, and even the wicked can love sincerely.
