I Never Meant to Be Empress (Reborn)

In her previous life, Shu Qingqian was the most doted-on daughter of the Prime Minister's household, and should have lived a carefree, happy life. But her pride, vanity, and competitiveness not only led to her older sister's death, but dragged her older brother down as well. In the end, everyone turned against her, and she died alone and ill.

Given a second life, Shu Qingqian no longer fights for attention or chases empty fame. She only wants to be a virtuous and accomplished woman, to live peacefully at home, honor her parents, and respect her older brother and sister. She works hard to make up for the mistakes of her past life, never imagining that the love, fame, and status she once longed for but couldn't attain would all come her way.

Shu Qingqian: I only want to be a virtuous woman. I never wanted to be empress...

Zhang Haolin: Whether you want it or not doesn't matter. I decide whether you become empress.
