I Was Reborn and Became the Empress

Coming soon: After I Drove the Crown Prince Away

Sheng Changle was born with a bewitching allure, the most beautiful woman in the capital.

In her previous life, her cousin, the emperor, used her in a honey trap and married her off to Xu Mengzhou, the chief minister. He promised to bring her into the palace and make her empress once the Xu family had been eliminated.

With no choice but to marry into the Xu family, Sheng Changle did everything she could to make Xu Mengzhou fall hopelessly in love with her. In the end, she helped the emperor trap him in the palace with no way out.

Xu Mengzhou stared at her with bloodshot eyes. "In our five years of marriage, did you ever have any feelings for me?"

Sheng Changle's stunning face remained cold. "More than being the chief minister's wife, I want to be empress."

Xu Mengzhou died pierced by ten thousand arrows. As Sheng Changle waited for her imperial cousin to fulfill his promise, what arrived instead was a cup of poisoned wine. Only as she lay dying did she realize how foolish she had been.

Reborn at fifteen, she returns to the day her imperial cousin sweet-talks her into marrying Xu Mengzhou.

Sheng Changle smiles beautifully. "All right."

This time, to trample that bastard emperor underfoot, she incites her husband to seize the throne. She takes a different route, going from chief minister's wife to empress, with all the riches, glory, and supreme favor she could wish for, as well as a husband who would give her his whole heart.

Later, as they lie in each other's arms, the man beside her suddenly asks softly, "Zhaozhao, didn't you say you'd rather be empress than chief minister's wife? Now that you've gotten your wish, do you have any feelings for me?"

Sheng Changle's mind explodes. The more she thinks about it, the more terrified she becomes... Just how deep has he been hiding his true nature?

Please add the upcoming story to your reading list: After I Drove the Crown Prince Away

Yu Wanwan is a cousin raised in the Ding'an Marquis's household. With her peach-blossom cheeks, willow waist, and soft, delicate figure, every movement of hers is charming and alluring, as if she were born to seduce. Though she has only just come of age, countless men already secretly covet her.

Yet all she wants is to climb the social ladder, and she uses her seductive charms to ensnare the crown prince.

Everyone knows that Crown Prince Feng Ji is aloof and noble, with no interest in women. No one dares provoke him lightly.

But Yu Wanwan not only provokes him, she even sleeps with him.

That night, beneath warm hibiscus curtains, shadows sway.

Exhausted, Yu Wanwan has a strange dream.

In the dream, she gets her wish and enters the Eastern Palace. At first, the crown prince dotes on her, giving her anything she wants and even making her his crown princess.

But in the blink of an eye, he turns cold and ruthless. To win the struggle for the throne, he marries his noble, well-connected cousin instead, deposes Yu Wanwan, and casts her aside, imprisoning her in the inner palace.

At last, on the day the crown prince ascends the throne, she is sentenced to death for the crime of "bewitching the ruler."

The sensation of poisoned wine going down her throat feels so real that Yu Wanwan jolts awake in terror.

Looking at the handsome man beside her, Yu Wanwan is overcome with dread. Ignoring her aching, weak legs, she flees immediately.

After that, Yu Wanwan hides at home with the doors shut, hoping the crown prince has forgotten what happened that night.

Little does she know, the crown prince she seduced and abandoned is furious. He comes storming to her home and blocks her path on a shadowy, deserted garden path.

The man bends down and murmurs coldly in her ear, "You ruined my virtue. Did you think you could just get away with it?"

Meeting those unfathomably deep phoenix eyes, Wanwan's legs go weak, and she nearly falls.
