As empress of a nation, Cheng Wangting had two sons and a daughter. Though her time in favor was brief, she died of illness at thirty-eight, having lived what could be called a peaceful life.
After death, however, she saw the tragic lives her children would lead.
Her children were all nothing but supporting characters doomed to die in someone else's book!
Her eldest son was a villainous crown prince. Unable to win the heroine's love, he turned cruel and ruthless, imprisoning her and framing the hero. But his actions only brought the couple closer. His rebellion failed, and he died pierced by ten thousand arrows. The heroine and hero lived happily together, and she was eventually made crown princess.
Her second son was a devoted male supporting character, a great general who fought for his country. He became permanently disabled while saving the foolish hero, who had disobeyed military orders, and died in sorrow.
Knowing he couldn't give the woman he loved a happy life, he concealed from her that the hero had disobeyed orders and generously blessed their relationship.
All because that fool was the man his beloved woman loved. In the end, he had to watch them get married, and all he received from the woman he loved was, "Thank you for saving him. I'll remember you for the rest of my life."
Her youngest daughter was a sacrificial character. Though a princess, she miscarried and her health quickly deteriorated until she died.
She never knew that the man she loved, the hero, had been keeping a mistress behind her back, and that the mistress was already pregnant. Unwilling to be a princess's consort, he schemed to make the younger princess miscarry. Later, he drugged her, leaving her bedridden until she died soon afterward. Less than a year later, he married his mistress.
The more Cheng Wangting read, the angrier she got. Finally, she opened her eyes, jolted awake with rage, and found herself reborn.
