In his dazed state, he looked at his virtuous empress, beautiful concubines, and his kneeling, weeping children, and sighed, feeling his life was complete. But after death, his soul was not taken to the underworld; instead, it lingered in the palace. He saw himself given a grand funeral, saw the new emperor ascend the throne, and also saw… his empress. He saw his empress in the palace, saying to the new emperor, "Jin'er, I only wish that after my death, you scatter my ashes into the sea. I have never been free in my life; I only ask for a peaceful death." The new emperor's expression was troubled: "Mother, you do not wish to be buried with Father?" The empress smiled: "No." "Mother, did you ever love Father?" The woman remained silent for a long time before finally speaking. "I respected him." * * * Shen Zhishuang, from film queen to entertainment company president, weathered many storms. A car accident left her stranded in another world, becoming a newborn baby girl.

    I recently reread it, and since I loved it the first time, I immediately reread it to savor it more. The female lead is truly a super stable and charming girl; she's so captivating, otherwise she wouldn't have attracted Meng Yanchen. Every character who talks to her has to admit she's right, and she's an absolute master of anti-manipulation techniques—strong, warm, and with all sorts of unconventional thinking and methods—a very interesting character. The author is truly amazing! 👍👍👍
