   A beautiful and lustful imperial concubine, reborn after a life of unrequited love, is now clear-headed. In her previous life, Su Yun Ning was deeply in love with her imperial cousin for over twenty years. She remained childless, willingly becoming a concubine and devotedly raising her adopted son. However, she was met with humiliation from the empress, suspicion from the emperor, and disrespect from her adopted son. Even in her illness, she couldn't become her imperial cousin's wife, and even the son she had raised with such care only had eyes for his biological mother! Unexpectedly, she was reborn into the first year of raising her ungrateful son! She would never repeat her mistakes! The empress humiliated her? She would gladly request the empress's death! Her ungrateful adopted son cared for his wicked biological mother? She would simply pack up the two of them and move them to another palace! Her imperial cousin was indifferent… wait a minute? Who is this clingy sycophant? Emperor Yongchen of the Great Xi Dynasty is handsome beyond compare, possessing both literary and military prowess, capable of governing the country, and wielding immense power at a young age. In his past life, he believed the beautiful figure chasing after him would never cease, driven by the emperor's suspicion and fear of her family. Who knew that from the moment she died, he would be consumed by remorse for over a decade, his heart breaking. A non-believer in Buddhism, he prayed to every deity, staking twenty years of his imperial life and ten years of his heart's blood, just to win a single glance from her. Who would have thought that upon waking, he would find himself back in the third year after she entered the palace? "Ningning, I only beg you to give me a chance to atone for my sins," the venerable emperor, his eyes red from crying, knelt on the ground, pleading desperately.
