As soon as [Liu Ying] came of age, the Liu family began making arrangements for his marriage.

Liu Ying's mother said, "My son spends all day hawking and walking his dogs, and never studies. He ought to marry a strong-willed wife soon, someone who can keep him in line."

Liu Ying shook his head. "My wife should be sweet and obedient, and as beautiful as a flower!"

Later, his family really did find him a wife who was sweet, obedient, and beautiful as a flower.

After Liu Ying married to his heart's content, he kept busy going between brothels and gambling houses. His sweet, obedient wife even gave him money every day, eagerly urging him, "Let's bring home any girl your heart desires, husband!"

Looking at his wife's flowerlike smile, Liu Ying suddenly felt a pang of unease!

[Capable, ambitious heroine] vs. [Laid-back hero who just wants to get by]

[Su Yue] was born at the cost of her mother's life, and her father despised her.

Her only brother recommended her to marry into an enemy kingdom to avoid being sent to war himself.

At eighteen, [Su Yue] died in a sandstorm on her way to the enemy kingdom.

Reborn, [Su Yue] returned to the age of fifteen, just as she was reading about Empress Dowager Lu in the Records of the Grand Historian, ruling from behind the scenes and wielding power with ease.

1. Marry the emperor.

2. Have a son.

3. Wait for the emperor to die, then let her son become emperor and take the title of empress dowager.

But... the emperor in her previous life had been short-lived.

Why hadn't he died yet in this life?
