Qiu Luan was born with the destiny of a phoenix. From childhood, she was raised to become the future empress, and married the Crown Prince as his consort.
Later, the former emperor died young and the new emperor ascended the throne. At a tender age, she became mistress of the imperial palace, wielding the imperial phoenix seal and serving as the model of virtue for all women.
But no one knew that beneath her dignified, serene exterior and imposing bearing lay a heart unwilling to be constrained by worldly conventions.
The person in her heart was none other than Wei Ruxiu, a close attendant to the emperor who had risen to the rank of marquis!
By day, Wei Ruxiu knelt before her on one knee, bowing in submission.
At night, Wei Ruxiu hooked her chin with his long fingers and called her "A-Luan."
Wei Ruxiu promised her that once he gained more power, and no longer needed her to secretly aid him through her position as empress, he would take her away from the confines of the palace and give her freedom. He promised that they would spend their lives together, with no one else between them.
But she waited and waited, only for the emperor to suspect her of having an affair. He took away her phoenix seal and confined her to Changqiu Palace.
And when Wei Ruxiu saw that she was no longer useful, he revealed his true colors and sent someone to poison her and silence her for good.
Reborn, Qiu Luan returned to a time before her betrothal to the Crown Prince.
She did not want to repeat the past, nor did she care to seek revenge. She only wanted to stay far away from the palace, and even farther from Wei Ruxiu.
So, in a single night, she cast aside years of repression. She went from a self-disciplined, proper future empress to a reckless, indulgent noblewoman who spent every night carousing.
When Wei Ruxiu came to find her, Qiu Luan was sitting with a handsome young man on each side. Smiling at Wei Ruxiu's livid face, she asked, "What is it, Eunuch Wei? Want to join us and have some fun?"
"Don't you want to, Eunuch Wei?" When Wei Ruxiu said nothing, she lowered her eyes for a moment. Then she looked up, her face icy. "Then get lost."
But the eunuch suddenly pinned her to the bed and said hoarsely, "Let's see who else dares to have fun with you."
What Qiu Luan did not know was that Wei Ruxiu had also been reborn.
In his previous life, he had let down the woman dearest to him. In this life, he would keep her tightly in his grasp, even if it meant dragging his broken body into ruin with her.
Headstrong noblewoman x mad, powerful eunuch
Note: Both leads are reborn. The male lead is a genuine eunuch.
There is a groveling arc and a possessive, coercive relationship. The female lead is not delicate; she will match wits with the male lead.
