Did the Heir Apparent Die Today?

Gu Yan spent half her life fighting with others in the palace. When the Gu family fell from power, she was given a cup of poisoned wine. At last, as she lay dying, she understood: a ruler's heart is impossible to fathom, and ten years of favor had all been a lie. Reborn, she saw things differently. She would never set foot in the imperial family again, no matter who wanted her to. All she wanted was to buy up some property and live as a carefree rich woman. But when the old emperor issued his decree, she became the heir's wife. She knew the heir to Prince Dongping's title would die young, and she was destined to become a widow. So be it. The heir had a huge estate. She would make do for a year or two. Once he died, she could inherit his fortune and live in luxury until old age. But a year passed, then two, then three, five, even ten. Why was the heir still alive? Not only was he alive, he became emperor. She became the only consort in his harem, and naturally, the only empress. A sinister, ruthless, cold-faced, arrogant, jealous male lead X a female lead who has seen through everything and embraces a laid-back, Buddhist lifestyle Warnings: 1. This is a fictional historical setting with no logic. Don't overanalyze it. 2. The female lead wasn't a good person in her previous life.

He thought he'd entered life on easy mode, but instead, the difficulty had been set to demonic. The original owner had been framed for an attempted rebellion, deposed and reduced to a commoner, then exiled to Qianzhou. Looking at the dilapidated hut with nothing but bare walls, and his frail concubine, Professor Gu instinctively adjusted the glasses that weren't there. "Well..." From the female lead's perspective: When the crown prince was deposed, the Lu clan had a token that could save their lives. If they cut ties with the deposed crown prince, they would be safe. Despite everyone's attempts to dissuade her, Lu Chenyuan resolutely followed the crown prince into the wilderness.
