What Wedding? I'm Taking the Throne!

After my cousin pushed me into the water, I had a long dream.

When I woke, I begged my father to petition the emperor and call off my engagement to His Highness Prince An.

In this life, I no longer wanted to be the gracious, magnanimous Princess Consort of An,

forcing a smile as I arranged one "unavoidable" concubine after another for him;

nor did I want to die in childbirth, watching him and my cousin live happily together.

After the engagement was called off, neither the woman he cherished nor the one he couldn't forget had anything to do with me.

But why did the emperor look so shocked when he summoned me?

And why did the crown prince, gravely ill, cough up blood in his excitement when he saw me?

Do I really look so much like the late empress?
