From Concubine to Empress

Gao Shangrong was sent into the palace by her father to please the emperor, who was twenty years her senior.

For the glory and favor of her father and brothers, she was forced to serve the emperor and then made a Noble Consort.

But she never expected it to be part of the emperor's scheme. After the flames of power had burned bright, both the Gao family and she herself became casualties of a coup.

Reborn, she defied all opposition and persuaded her father and brothers to marry her into Prince Ning's household as a concubine.

In her previous life, she had accidentally learned the secret that Prince Ning was not the emperor's biological son. She would make the Great Chu throne change hands,

so she could finally avenge herself.

But when ambitious, ruthless Prince Ning saw the new concubine in his residence, he thought: He hadn't even had the chance to make a move, and she'd already come to him of her own accord.

In her previous life, she was branded a wicked consort. No one knew better than he did how she had exhausted herself plotting for her family, right up until her death.

In this life, he would take her hand and claim the imperial throne with her.

One day after his accession, as they prepared for bed, Gao Shangrong heard a lazy voice by her ear: “Rongrong, how does being empress compare with being a Noble Consort?”

Gao Shangrong nestled against him and smiled seductively. “This consort only wants to be Xiao Zongjun's empress.”

Content notes:

1. Both leads are reborn.

2. The heroine retains the savvy she had as a Noble Consort in her previous life. She is sweet and soft but clever, and joins forces with the hero as an equal.

3. Fictional setting, happy ending, one-on-one romance.
