[Read with Caution!!!]
As the younger sister of the notorious beauty who brought ruin to the previous dynasty, Xiao Baofu's stunning looks brought her no good fortune. Instead, an imperial decree sent her, still in the prime of youth, off to marry into another kingdom.
Reborn, Xiao Baofu set her sights on the frail, sickly emperor, who could drop dead at any moment.
Xiao Baofu: Entering the palace sounds great! If I have a child, I'll become a dowager consort. If I don't, I'll still be a dowager consort, living in the imperial temple!
What she didn't realize was that someone nearby had already been secretly keeping an eye on her.
Su Chenyang: You want to seduce that sickly man? Is he as handsome as me, as strong as me, as... in love with you as I am?
Everyone said Xiao Baofu was too beautiful to make a suitable wife. But the man who could turn the world upside down with a wave of his hand went to great lengths to marry her and keep her cherished and pampered for the rest of her life!
In a nutshell: On the road to becoming a consort, Xiao Baofu has to contend not only with women who are her equal, but also with a treacherous, scheming man!
[Xiao Baofu's Story]
In her previous life, she'd seen Su Chenyang kill people as ruthlessly as if he were slicing vegetables. The gentle, kindly emperor by her side seemed far more agreeable. But somehow, all the noblewomen of the imperial capital had fallen for him! Could they not see how fierce his gaze was whenever he looked her way?! Look, he's glaring at her again!
[Su Chenyang's Story]
Everyone said Su Chenyang was a paragon of virtue and unmatched in schemes, with a flawless face that drew countless young women in the capital to him. Few knew that beneath the wide sleeves of his robe, the back of his hand bore a hideous scar left by a woman. And that woman was still so unruly, always wanting to enter the palace. Should he chop her up, or chop her up?!

Who is the most sought-after noblewoman in Shangjing?
Jiang Zhezhe, the emperor's niece, granddaughter of the Duke of Dingbei.
But set aside her pedigree, and ask about her temperament, and plenty of people will shake their heads!
The reason is simple!
This girl is an expert at chasing cats and teasing dogs, and she's always in the middle of a fight. The emperor and empress dote on her, so nobody dares criticize her.
After a strange dream, Jiang Zhezhe travels a thousand miles to chase after her betrothed, only to end up with her engagement broken. The wealthy young noblewoman becomes a laughingstock in Shangjing.
As everyone waits eagerly for her to return to the capital so they can laugh at her, a handsome young general, as lovely as an immortal, appears at her side, escorting and protecting her with the utmost care. The other women are green with envy.
The noblewomen: Heh. Let's see how long you can keep gloating.
One day, the young general dies in battle, the empress is deposed, and the empire teeters on the brink of collapse. Someone spots her meeting a man in secret deep in the woods.
Amid the layers of leaves, the man's voice is languid and low, teasing her affectionately as he calls her a little minx...
The noblewomen: Now you've really lost face, haven't you?
But as everyone waits for a juicy scandal, they watch in astonishment as the mysterious and distinguished crown prince strolls out from between the flowers and willow branches, sweeping his clear, bright phoenix eyes over them.
Everyone: Fine! We'll wait a little longer!
Those determined to see a scandal wait until the crown prince ascends the throne, Jiang Zhezhe is made empress, and the emperor and empress rule hand in hand, their love unmatched throughout the land!
The first time he saw her, she was standing on the carriage step. Not even the snowstorm could outshine her sweet smile.
He thought, Surely even an immortal maiden is no more beautiful than that!
Later, she planted her hands on her hips, lifted her little chin, and spoke quickly and sharply.
He thought, Could you just shut up?
At first he watched coldly as she laughed and scolded those around her. But the longer he watched, the deeper she settled in his heart. He wanted only to steal a kiss and keep her close.
A refined young gentleman when silent, but a rough (cross that out) fellow who gives himself away the moment he speaks x a bold, domineering beauty

I started watching! Is that man in green the male protagonist?
Which little cutie can give me some popular science? I'm very confused about this operation. It's finished and then suddenly starts v, or it's halfway through writing and suddenly it starts v in a previous chapter. I really don't understand what the meaning of this operation is? Isn't it better to just start with v?
(*σ??`)σ
It won't be discontinued, right? Just keep watching

Who is this masked person? Why does it feel like someone who is somewhat related to the heroine's sister? Could it be the former emperor?
