Everyone Wants Me to Be Empress

Empress in the morning, deposed empress by night. After more than a decade as empress, Zhao Sirou sees her world turned upside down in a single day.

With the outcome settled and no way to change it, she willingly hands over the imperial seal and climbs into the carriage bound for the palace retreat.

But before the carriage can leave the palace, it is stopped. Her newly enthroned sixteen-year-old uncle personally returns the imperial seal to her.

The blazing flames light up the night like day. Before the crimson palace walls, Zhao Sirou sees her sixteenth uncle, who has always treated her tenderly, still smiling with the grace of a gentleman.

He says, "A Rou, be my empress."
