After unifying the realm, Han Yem ing arrived in Linjiang Town to choose a bride. The daughters of noble households waited shyly for his arrival, but to everyone's astonishment, he chose Wang Xiyu, the ill-starred girl everyone in town avoided.
Reborn, she clearly remembers the tragic end she met in her previous life.
He made her his empress only to prove that he was favored by fate. She married him and became empress partly to escape persecution by her birth family, and partly because she sincerely looked forward to a happy life together.
She thought they truly loved each other, but it turned out she had been used from beginning to end. Once she had served her purpose, he ordered her to commit suicide with a silk sash.
In this life, she will show no mercy to anyone who mistreats her, including the emperor who sits high above all.
But after they marry, the emperor dotes on her and indulges her in every way, giving her almost all the tenderness in the world. Though he has three thousand beauties in his harem, she is the only one he favors, leaving the harem little more than a formality.
He gives her a love unlike any other, accepts all her sharp edges, and clears her name of the curse of ill fortune.
When she tries to assassinate him, he does not punish her, but brushes it off with a joke. When she is in danger, he risks his life to protect her.
Their old enmity gives way to affection, as overwhelming hatred collides with tenderness that cuts to the bone.
Together, they break through the crisis and rule the realm, leaving their marital accounts to settle afterward.
Han Yem ing: "Even in the darkest place, I will never let you fight alone again."
Wang Xiyu sneered. "Han Yem ing, between the realm and you, I only want to choose one."
Premise: Believe that somewhere in this world, there is always someone who has come for you.
