(The main story is complete.)
[One-line summary] Given a second life, she decides to cling to the most powerful man in the world.
Shen Yishan's world came crashing down.
Her family was charged with treason.
Her eldest brother lost an arm on the battlefield.
Her father disappeared without a trace.
Her fiance broke off their engagement.
And she had a pair of seven-year-old fraternal twins to care for.
Overnight, Shen Yishan went from being the noble eldest legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Dingbei's household to a delicate flower whom countless men could covet.
*
A few days before her family was arrested and their property confiscated, Shen Yishan dreamed that her relatives had sent her away to become a plaything of the powerful.
She also dreamed of her father and brothers' deaths, and of the twins being sold to Yangzhou.
Her short life came to an end when she was twenty.
At the same time, she dreamed that the Second Prince, returning triumphantly from battle, would kill his father and elder brother within a few years, seize the throne, and become ruler of Great Yan.
But he had a secret no one knew.
And, as it happened, Shen Yishan learned that secret, too.
Awakening from the nightmare, Shen Yishan took a moment to make herself up. She was already a peerless beauty, enchanting and incomparable. As night fell, she went to the Second Prince's residence and knocked on its red-lacquered gates...
[Scene One]
The Second Prince, renowned as a God of War, had a cool, arrogant face. He wore a long robe of black brocade, his gaze icy. His long fingers tapped slowly against the table. After a long pause, he gave a slight curl of his lips. "Tell me, why should I help you?"
Shen Yishan's palms were damp with sweat, but her gaze was resolute. "I know you suffer from an affliction. Every nightfall, you endure terrible headaches. And I... am the remedy you've been searching for."
Yan Jing's gaze was inscrutable, the flickering candlelight reflected in his eyes. After a moment, he rasped, "All right."
[Scene Two]
The Second Prince, Yan Jing, ascended the throne as emperor, pacified the realm and brought order to a troubled kingdom. The beauties of his harem came in an endless stream. (Not really.)
But every night, the emperor stayed only in Empress Shen's palace.
As time went by, rumors spread throughout the realm that Empress Shen was the reincarnation of Daji, a wicked woman who corrupted the court and deserved to be cast aside by the emperor.
However, every official who impeached the empress met with misfortune.
No one knew that without Empress Shen, the new emperor would not be able to survive.

[One-line summary] What could a young girl possibly be up to? She just wants a little dragon energy~
[Blurb One]
The Fifth Miss Su of the Grand Preceptor's household is frail, gasping after every few steps, a delicate flower who, according to rumor, won't live past eighteen. She's sixteen this year.
The heir of Prince Chen's household, renowned as a God of War, made his name young with a string of glorious military victories, and has already caused the deaths of three fiances. He's twenty-five this year.
Not long after Young Master Fu returned to the capital, a rumor spread through Bianjing: Fifth Miss Su and Young Master Fu are having an affair!
The two people involved had completely different reactions.
Fu Shili: (coldly) Stop spreading rumors!
Su Nian'an: (shyly) Ah, well... some things shouldn't be said out loud~
[Blurb Two]
The Su and Fu families are political rivals and have never gotten along.
Yet the frail Fifth Miss of the Su family, who falls over at the slightest touch, often goes to "accidentally" bump into Fu Shili.
Fu Shili is convinced this must be the Su family's beauty trap.
The young lady grows ever more brazen, taking the chance to hug him in front of everyone at a poetry gathering. "Y-Young Master, I didn't mean to do that. Please don't blame me."
Her peach-blossom eyes shimmered with rippling light and misty tears, as if she were about to cry.
Fu Shili: "..." What a scheming woman!
[Blurb Three]
One day, at a palace banquet, Fu Shili was alone in a waterside pavilion, getting some air, when a pale, delicate little hand tugged at his sleeve.
When Fu Shili turned around, he saw a flushed little face.
The young lady was drunk, and seemed to be working up her courage. "Y-Young Master, does your household still need a young mistress? What do you think... of me?"
Fu Shili: "..." Is she recommending herself as his bride?
[Blurb Four]
The bodyguards at Fu Shili's side have been deeply worried lately.
Their young master keeps getting teased by a young lady, turning red in the face and losing sleep. He's getting up in the night more and more often.
What are they supposed to do?!
The rumors grew more and more rampant, much to Fu Shili's distress. Someone even asked when he planned to marry Fifth Miss Su.
At last, Fu Shili could take no more and met with Su Nian'an alone. "Miss Su, what exactly are you trying to do? Why not just tell me plainly?"
Su Nian'an blinked, her eyes shining. "The whole city knows there's something between us now. You have to marry me."
Fu Shili's ears turned hot. "..." Had she really trapped him for good?
[Blurb Five]
Su Nian'an is a delicate little beauty. She dreamed that she used to be an immortal herb that needed dragon energy to stay alive, and that Fu Shili was the crown prince of the Celestial Realm.
She also dreamed of her past life, when she married the wrong man and died a miserable death. Fu Shili was the one who collected and buried her body, and guarded her grave for three years.
So the moment Fu Shili returned to the capital, the young lady began making her move...

Theme: Sometimes it's worth trying a different way to live
Actually I read novels. . I didn't like to see the whole life of the male and female protagonists finished at the end. . . There is an inexplicable sense of regret and vicissitudes of life. .
Spiced corned egg??? A little hungry. .
What??? The first life is the fairy grass of the Immortal Lord. For some reason, he descended to earth and experienced calamity. The second life is the previous life where the heroine died tragically. The third life is this life. At the end of the extra story, the hero and heroine wake up and restore the memory of the immortal, and then they are together forever!!! There is no need to die like this. . . Just a little bit. . Uh-huh, speechless!!
The male protagonists in the novel are all lustful
Will the extra story cover the events of the previous life??
Hahaha, the prince is so miserable
It turns out that the prince followed the queen
Haha, it's so funny. Oh my god, you don't care if people wake up or not. It's just that cute and innocent thing.
In fact, I am very curious a lot of the time. . After rebirth, will the child in this life still be the same as in the previous life??? Pregnancy times vary. .
Haha, are you practicing??
