Though her early years were fraught with hardship, the late emperor doted on her for the rest of his life. If there was one thing she could complain about, it was how exhausting it all was. But tell me, who in this deep palace doesn't feel exhausted? She wakes up one day to find herself back at fifteen, when she was still a shouma, sent to the capital as a tool to secure someone's favor. And so the story begins... * Readers who insist on spotless heroines, beware! * The heroine is a winner from beginning to end. Her last life was a bit of a struggle due to her status and limited perspective, but this time she coasts to victory. A sweet, semi-palace-intrigue story about eating, drinking, and raising children. The male lead is the crown prince, who later becomes emperor. Before the heroine enters the Eastern Palace, the crown prince already has a principal consort and several concubines.
