The Southern Mansion's Beloved Maid

[My next novel will be "Diamond Rose." Please add it to your reading lists!]

Zuo Yu, stationed at the southern border of Nanqi, loves nothing more than charging into battle with her sword, living a bold and carefree life.

But the fierce bloodlust tempered on the battlefield makes the noble young ladies of Nanqi steer clear of her. She's practically become Nanqi's most ineligible bachelor.

Then one day, a young maid arrives at the Nan residence. She walks with delicate steps and a swaying waist, serves tea at just the right temperature, and takes two quarters of an hour to finish a meal.

As everyone watches from the sidelines, they discover that General Zuo, who used to hate nothing more than delicate young ladies coyly fussing about, has started walking more lightly. She softens her voice when she talks to people, and even the way she draws her sword to strike someone down looks like a painting...

Before she married, Lu Chacha was the apple of her father and brothers' eyes. After marrying into the imperial family, she was the emperor's sole favorite. Once she gave birth to a son, she was made crown princess, and when her son took the throne, she became empress dowager. Looking back on her previous life, Lu Chacha had truly enjoyed smooth sailing and good fortune in everything.

The only flaw was that life was rather boring. It had turned a master of palace intrigue into a sweet, naive fool.

Reborn one day, she decides to make life a little more eventful and dramatic. With her coming-of-age ceremony just around the corner, well... she needs to arrange a marriage before entering the palace.

Zhao Zhan believes he is the greatest emperor in history: diligent in governing, with a peaceful harem. The one thing people criticize him for is being too devoted to one woman. But his beloved is pure-hearted and never lets his favor go to her head. They are deeply in love, and she even gave him an exceptionally gifted heir.

Looking back on his life, Zhao Zhan is very satisfied. What makes him even happier is that he has lived another life and become the vigorous young emperor he once was.

But can someone tell him why his beloved consort, the Lady Lu who shared an entire lifetime with him, suddenly arranged to marry someone else behind his back?

One-line summary: After being reborn, the consort seems to want to run off with someone else.
