[Elder Legitimate Sister Reborn] [Female Lead Is Not Reborn] [Switched Marriages] [High-IQ Female Lead Tames Men] [Ruthless Emperor Pursues His Wife]
Her elder legitimate sister tried to kill herself rather than enter the palace, then made a scene demanding that they switch marriages. Su Qingci watched coldly. "My sister is just like someone in a storybook, returned from the dead."
She wanted to steal the life of a first-rank titled lady from Su Qingci? Su Qingci acted at once. "I may not be reborn, but I can still make use of my sister's memories."
Who could have guessed that the man on the throne was ruthless and hard-hearted, and would test her on the very night she was summoned to his bed? "Being my blade is your good fortune."
No dog would want that kind of good fortune! The Beauty Su looked at him with tearful eyes, gritting her teeth in secret. "I admire Your Majesty, but with my rank so low, I'm in a difficult position."
The Emperor Minghe was a master of courtly scheming, and secretly congratulated himself. "If I raise your rank, can you handle it?"
She would take it, no matter how high he raised her, and she accepted with a smile. What did it matter if she was always in the eye of the storm? She would rely on caution and strategy, advancing one step at a time.
"This woman is utterly devoted. The more I use her, the more useful she becomes." Only belatedly did Minghe realize that Su Qingci had been guiding him, getting him to support her and do her bidding.
Stranger still, several people in the palace had also been reborn. One chose a side: "Competing for favor is a death wish. The only way to survive is to side with the Empress Dowager." Another fought for power: "I am a goddess descended from heaven, and I can judge the affairs of the world."
Only Su Qingci kept the Emperor's heart firmly in hand, anticipating his every move and living an unassailable life, joining forces with him to clean up the palace.
Until her maternal family was finally exonerated. The Noble Consort packed her belongings and faked her death to leave the palace. "From snowy mountains to vast deserts, I'll be free from now on."
But the Emperor had no idea how deeply he had fallen, and could no longer let go. He lay awake night after night, growing ever more violent and mad.
Until he learned Su Qingci was still alive. The Emperor rode a thousand miles to beg beneath the snowy mountains. "You alone will be favored in the harem, and we will rule together. I'll wager everything..."
