Savoring Spring [Reborn]

Yu Shuang, the only prince of a different surname in the empire, met a brutal end in his previous life. Of all the honors and controversies of his life, what drew the most criticism was neither his campaigns on the frontier nor his ruthless political tactics. It was his ravishing beauty, the face with which he bewitched the court, and the fact that he even became empress. He did everything he could to help the new emperor ascend the throne, but instead of being allowed to retire in peace, he was stripped of his martial arts and locked inside Kunning Palace. Kunning Palace was the residence of the empress. The young emperor forced him to become empress, determined to keep him by his side in secret for the rest of their lives, by any means necessary. Yu Shuang's identity was erased, he was proclaimed empress, and he was locked away in the inner palace. Day after day, he was confined within those vermilion walls. The affection he'd felt in his youth wore away into hatred. At last, he broke with the emperor and ended his life in a raging fire... After being reborn, Yu Shuang had no wish to repeat the past or bear the slur of "bewitching male empress." There was only one warrior who interested him. Because on the day he died in his previous life, that warrior knelt outside Kunning Palace, eyes red with tears, and begged him for a promise of love in their next life. ** Zhao Li was a warrior. He bore the Yin Chun sword and commanded the Nineteenth Hall of the Imperial Guard, making him the empire's most honored and formidable warrior. In his previous life, he was ordered to seal off Kunning Palace and guard the empress. The empress was a ravishing man who had bewitched the ruler. Even after being poisoned, rendered powerless, and confined to the inner palace, he remained dazzling and untamed, drawing Zhao Li ever deeper into his spell. Zhao Li betrayed his duty, standing guard by the empress day and night as his forbidden desires grew. Yet he could not save the "life together" he had hoped for amid that great fire. So he begged for another life. ** The young emperor gazed at Kunning Palace through the downpour. Behind him, the empire remained unchanged, stretching on through the ages. But his empress was no longer in Kunning Palace. *After being reborn, of course they'll fall in love sweetly!
