Reborn when she first entered the palace, she clearly sees through the emperor's heartlessness. In this life, she no longer seeks true love, only power: protecting the child who died in her previous life, and nailing her enemies to the pillar of shame one by one. When the emperor offers her lychees, she feeds them to a raccoon dog; when the emperor spends the night in her bedchamber, she silently counts the amount of silver she receives as a reward. The fierce competition for favor in the harem? Merely pawns in her revenge. Until the emperor, with red eyes, asks: "I've given you my heart, is that enough to exchange for a single sincere word?"
