In her previous life, Pu Yinrun was abandoned by her childhood sweetheart, who had passed the imperial exams and set his sights on wealth. Filled with resentment, she entered the palace as a consort.
Within the palace, she stepped over piles of corpses and rivers of blood, defeating two empresses and poisoning the emperor. After nineteen years, she rose to the position of empress, wielding power and ruling from behind the scenes.
Outside the palace, she had Sheng Liangcen, her loyal hound. He rose steadily through the ranks and was known throughout the realm as a devoted husband and a capable minister. In truth, he was only good to her, ruthlessly and viciously eliminating her enemies in secret.
At the pinnacle of power, as she lay dying, her wealth and influence gone, all that remained were pain and her loyal hound. Only then did she realize her life had been full of regrets.
After being reborn, she eagerly sought out Sheng Liangcen, hoping for a wonderful and fulfilling life. But he was kind to everyone else, and ruthless and vicious only toward her.
